Sen. Lindsey Graham has predicted a massive loss for Donald Trump in November, saying the GOP presidential nominee has alienated voters to the point of no return. “Reality is reality,” the South Carolina Republican said Tuesday on WABC Radio’s Imus in the Morning, BuzzFeed first reported. “Mitt Romney got 27% of the Hispanic vote. By 2050, a majority of the country will be African-American, Hispanic, Asian, and others, and we’re losing demographically. We’ve gone from 44% with Bush to 27% with Romney, and I don’t think Donald Trump’s gonna get 20%,” Mr. Graham said. “The problems we’ve had with young women — he’s made it exponentially worse,” he continued. “So if we do lose, and the reason I think we’re going to lose, is because the demographic meltdown that came from harsh rhetoric and policies by Mr. Trump, making every problem we had in 2012 worse. It’s not about me not voting for Donald Trump, I’m not voting for Hillary Clinton, it is about America is changing and the party is being left behind.” “It breaks my heart because Hispanics are conservative, they’re entrepreneurial, they’re Catholics, they’re pro-life, they should be our voters, and we are driving them away,” Mr. Graham said. “Because nobody is going to vote for you, when you tell them you are going to deport their grandmother. And there is a difference between a meth dealer, a gang member, and a grandmother who has been here 30 years, working really hard raising a couple kids.”

So tell me how those vaulted pollsters can get any reliable data?
It is a new world and IMHO they can't get the data and metrics like it was the 90's
With that said, where is the Dean of calling these races Michael Barone? Does he get even with his vaulted experience the game has changed so much he can't call it anymore?
The American Left and their lapdogs in the MSMedia wouldn’t hesitate to “take out” anyone who stands in their way....and you think they wouldn’t skew a poll?
So why are the Reps supporting 1.1 million LEGAL PERMANENT IMMIGRANTS A YEAR AND 640,000 GUEST WORKERS ANNUALLY? We have brought in 35 million legal permanent immigrants since 1990. 87% of the legal immigrants are minorities as classified by the USG. Immigrants vote more than two to one Dem. The Stupid Party should be calling for a massive reduction in legal immigration.
If we don’t reduce legal immigration, securing our borders and enforcing our immigration laws won’t stop the changing demographics of the country.
I agree, but first we have to plug the holes before we start bailing.
Senator Graham says that “Mitt Romney got 27% of the Hispanic vote. . .I don’t think Donald Trump’s gonna get 20%.”
But Senator Graham is using patently inaccurate numbers. That is the reality. Let me show you.
Just scroll down Free Republic to the post of earlier today, citing Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit: (”DONALD TRUMP Surging with Black Voters, Bests Romney, McCain with Latino Voters . . .
The Gateway Pundit | 18 Aug | Jim Hoft”)
In that post, you’ll find that Romney really got only 21% in 2012 (not 27%). Reality is reality!
He also says, citing today’s LA Times poll, “Trump is . . .doing BETTER with Latino voters than Romney or McCain. . . .TRUMP HAS 26.7% of the LATINO VOTE. [emphasis mine]
To recap:
Trump 26.7% of Latino vote
Romney 21.0% of Latino vote
Isn’t 26.7% higher than 21.0%? Why yes, I think it is.
Yep, let's just keep those open borders and a Republican will never win again.
Linda is going to tell us all about how women think. I guess he's an expert.
How charming. This idiot politician ignores the fact that many of the group he describes above have no regard for property rights or for our laws. It is worth noting that description would also apply to most drug cartel bosses.
Perhaps at a minimum he overlooks the argument that by virtue of ignoring our laws, even the very best of the illegal entrants are in essence squatting in our living room without our approval and are most definitely in the process of redecorating.
My point was that Obama wasn’t filling the venues, but my friend wasn’t able to get a ticket to one of his events. They weren’t filling the venues, intentionally. But we were being TOLD he wasn’t drawing the crowds.
OK ... I only saw TV stuff.
The idea that you can win over minorities is a myth. They view politics very simply as, “What are you going to give me”. Unless you plan on becoming the very thing we should be fighting, don’t bother courting them..
Never has been...
what will he say....when Trump wins in Nov?
Will he cry in his panties?
And I predict Lindsay has an extremely low t cell count.
I predict Linda will have the surgery and become a Democrat
