/pol/, I'm worried. I'm a Republican, and I'm voting for Trump, but I honestly can't see him winning the general. I dont think that states that voted for Obama in 08/12 will not switch over to Trump now. But everyone on /pol/ seems so confident about his odds. Does anyone have proofs that Trump can take the general?
It's a serious question and I'm honestly interested to see what you guys think.
Bumping with movies.
Anyone?

I think the media lies to us through polls. The out out bogus polls to encourage you not to come out and vote. There are more Republicans in swing states than Democrats, but Democrats have superior turnout rates. Republicans need to get out and vote. If they come out he will win. If they sit at home and do nothing like the past two elections, the Dem will win easily.
>>67701285
Would there be a big scandal if it was proven that the media was intentionally misreporting poll numbers?
>>67701534
They have been doing it for decades. They can get away with anything they want to.
>>67701805
Fucking bummer. Still, is Trump capable of winning the general given how liberal America is now?
Anyone...?
>>67702001
If he destroys that cunt Shillary in the debates. He can take most states Obama won, plus some historically blue states. Republican turnout will be at an all time high, and this election will be different than anything we have seen before. It is quite likely, and Trump has a real good chance at winning. If he can pick a Hispanic running mate, or Jim Webb from Virginia, then the elections is his. It's his election to lose. Not hers.
>>67700915
It's a movement.
>>67702735
A Hispanic running mate? I don't think Trump can get many Latinos on board after all the >BUILD THE WALL shit that people spread. But I'm interested in hearing hope for The Donald.
If he loses in the general, we'll still have taught the RNC what happens when you shill for two noname first term senators and a guac merchant
Hillary is a god awful candidate, she couldnt hold Obama's sack last time around and there is absolutely no enthusiasm for Hillary, just look at the Democratic turnout.
>>67700915
My state voted Carter and we vote Trump now.
> Falling for the obvious concern troll
>>67703167
We'll also have at least 4 years of shillary, or god forbid, the Berncialist.
>>67703243
There's also a lot of negative media on Trump too. None from me, mind you, but I hear bitch in about him constantly.
>>67703325
Carter was a Southerner though.
>>67703475
I'm serious.
>>67703077
It pretty much falls on who's Trumps running mate is. If it is Ben Carson then Trump flips Michigan, and gets a bit of southern black support.
>>67703546
>or god forbid
>implying Bernie could get anything through congress
>>67700915
If he was running against Obama, it would have been a non-starter. However against Hillary, it is a done deal. There is so so much shit he can work with.
When she hit him with the whole 'hating woman' thing, he called her a rape enabler for Bill and that knocked her down almost 10% in the polls. It is the only reason why Bernie had a chance. Trump has this in the bag and I hope that he invades Canada.
>>67704084
>I hope he invades Canada
Alberta?
I know this is bait but for everyone who fell for it or lurking, just take a look at these numbers.
All of these new people are coming out to vote for Trump. If these numbers are reflected in the general, then republicans (Trump) wins easily
>>67703858
Isn't BC relatively unpopular among black voters?
>>67704558
It's a serious question. Do you think that that turnout will hold up in the general? If so, Trump has Florida.
They said his ceiling was 20%
>>67704716
Yes. People are sick of the bullshit. The blacks are not mobilized to vote for Hillary. That's why Soros and the media is pushing the "Trump is racist" agenda so hard.
Republican primaries actually had more voters in them than Democrat primaries in the following swing states:
Michigan
Florida
North Carolina
Ohio
and Pennsylvania has yet to vote.
Not just increases compared to last cycle, I'm talking raw number of voters. If those numbers hold through to the general this race is Trump's to lose.
The map looks something like this.
>>67700915
it will depend
right now the polls say he loses. this is because to the averave dummy on the street he is either cartoon relic of the 80s, a reality tv "star," or a racist nazi depending on how much attention the person is paying.
we still have months of campaigning, debates, etc to go. once he's wrapped up the nomination he will turn his guns on hillary (who to this point has not been challenged at all, not by the media, not by sanders.) If he can convince the people that clinton is who we all know she really is, he can win in a land slide.
>>67705706
*And Virginia, forgot to add that to the list.
>>67704716
Well, who do the Dems usually push for better turnout?
>Blacks
They don't care this time because Obama isn't on the ticket
>Young people
Bernie flaming out is going to leave a sour taste in their mouths against Hilldog and they just do not care about her at all.
>Latinos
Trump actually does pretty well with them
I think if Trump spends the next 8 months playing nice and works on getting his kids(especially Ivanka) out there to soften his image he's going to do well. Nobody really gives a shit about Hillary and everyone knows it, Trump is also causing the Dems to hemorrhage voters and he's also bringing people who never voted to the polls.
