Black people exist and sometimes Trump is in the photo. Amazing.

So Clintons plan is to attack the guy whos main reason for being so high in the polls is because he is not politically correct, attack him for not being PC?

Clinton is Trumps ideal candidate, so much material to work with.I guess she does have to take the moral high ground with womens and minority issues because she certainly can't claim the moral high ground on Iraq, Libya or lobbyists.

Overall it's a very weak strategy.Saw a poll last week stating 62% of democrats and 60% minorities think PC has gone too far.

Let us not forget the delusion of the sheep based Trumper of old. They all are cut the from the same mold, where reality doesn't matter. All that matters is refuting everything people say about Trump at every turn. He has 70 times the black supporters of Obama and is literally Jesus.

Edit: Pretty sure the PC has gone to far pool could be taken at any point and it would be about the same. It a pretty loaded question, like "how do you feel about deadbeats on welfare? Are they a problem?"

Chiming in late, but I basically agree with the article. All Hillary really has to do is quote Trump and be like "do we really trust the dude who said he'd bang his own daughter to lead our country?" and focus on the fact she's miles ahead of him on policy.

After that it's about making Trump paint himself in a corner by getting under his skin and making him say more dumb things. Obama can bring up how how he humiliated Trump at the White House Press Correspondent's Dinner. Bill can pull the "aww shucks gee whiz" thing and just bring up all the oppo about the shit Trump has pulled over the years.

Also David Brock and the rest of the dogs of war are gonna be let loose to tear Trump a new one. Trump is a bully, he's never faced anyone who really stood up to him. It'll be very interesting to see if he reacts as predicted, or if he's actually some sort of genius.

If Hillary wants to win she should point out how often Trump has supported them (the Clintons). Her best shot is to alienate as many GOP voters as she can and if there's one thing the GOP doesn't like are the Clintons. There is ample evidence...which I am sort of surprised hasn't been used too much in the primary.

I expect a Clinton vs Trump to have probably the lowest voter turnout in history. So many people can't stand either one of them.

These are Trump supporters.

+ Show Spoiler +

Trump is currently toying with white supremacist support. In a debate, Trump would be destroyed by either Bernie or Hillary. But for Trump's supporters, it won't matter. Nothing matters because it's not a reality based support. He can murder someone and the supporters will believe it's all a white genocide conspiracy and support him even more.

The REAL terrorists are INSIDE the 'Federal' Reserve Building printing money not backed by gold or silver (illegal under the US Constitution) and then lending it to the US government at interest.

Nearly 20,000 Bay State Democrats have fled the party this winter, with thousands doing so to join the Republican ranks, according to the state’s top elections official.

Secretary of State William Galvin said more than 16,300 Democrats have shed their party affiliation and become independent voters since Jan. 1, while nearly 3,500 more shifted to the MassGOP ahead of tomorrow’s “Super Tuesday” presidential primary.

That is the Boston Herald, I would take that with a grain of salt. That paper has been successfully sued a bunch of times for confusing fiction with fact just to sell papers.

Your 5 times the black supporters of Romney was the ad absurdum. Do you have any data / polling to support the claim that Trump has such a larger pool of black supporters?
