He will not win because of the miniscule number of minorities that will vote for him.

He will win because his base is more energized, determined and is advantaged.
What do you mean by advantaged?

Do you really and honestly think the avenue to voting is the same for rural whites as it is for inner city blacks?

There are a number of factors, whether it be motivation, availability or convenience.

Availability? Not sure I understand.

Yes, I think it is the exact same avenue. I need you to lay out exactly how black people have inconveniences voting. Early voting has locations all over the damn place. Do you think there is some big ass conspiracy where only white neighborhoods have voting locations? Or that public transit doesn't drop at voting locations? How exactly is it more convenient for white people to vote? That's a stupid ass angle. You should fucking be embarrassed.

I would assume Booze is one of those that thinks Kanye West is an Uncle Tom.

Rural whites. That is what I was talking about. Funny how you turned it into a complete black/white thing.

You should really do research on how elections work. I dunno...since the 1920s and on.

There are countless examples of how zoning affects elections. How even the availability of machines makes a difference.

It is not a sterile environment where it is all one person, one vote.

Jesus fucking Christ. You are the one that brought up black/white when it comes to voting. I'm about fucking done talking to you about this because you keep saying stupid shit. Like how zoning affects voting. Jesus, man. Do you even believe that shit? If you do, you are not as smart as I once thought you were.

Fine dude. Whatever.


Craigslist took it down. I guess you can just call it fake news now.

I feel extremely confident on Trump's voter base. And they are not diverse nor representative of the minority population.
I dont disagree with your larger point in general but it may not be as severe as you think because like those who voted for Trump kept silent about their support (thus why everyone was stunned when he won), I suspect many minorities who do support Trump are not vocal about it because of the overwhelming peer pressure against Trump

Further, that tweet isn't proof of anything one way or another. The ad could have easily been posted by someone that wanted to make it look like Trump was doing exactly what the ad implies.

You might be right. It might be fake bullshit, just like Trump claiming millions wanted in an arena that is now not full.

My whole point is that there is not a large bunch of minorities secretly rooting for Trump out of fear for how they will be perceived.

It does not fit with history. It does not fit with the avenues we have to gauge support, like social media. If a Presidential candidate has 200K supporters, then it is not representative.

Watching it live...just saw two black people. Maybe a third. Kind of light-skinned.

I agree there is only a minority of minorities supporting Trump

Publicly.
I believe privately too.

Now I admit I am completely speculating and have no way of knowing the exact break-down. I'm basing my opinion of how the news has reported the way minorities tend to vote democratic, especially the black vote

What percentage of minorities do you believe will vote for Trump (publicly & privately combined)?
