Before we buy into Potus Trump remember the Latinos will crawl over broken glass

to vote against him. Women and African Americans too.

Gotv time, registration of new voters, especially Latino voters, should be a focus asap.

*** update: just read that there are 12 million unregistered Latino voters, someone is working on this, right?

For Democrats and Republicans, convincing unregistered Latino voters - as many as 12 million, according to some advocacy groups - to vote in the November 2016 election is the first step to securing the support of a critical bloc of voters.

Compare your number to the number of "undocumented" - remarkably similar.

no matter the candidate.

I'll probably vote for Bernie in my primary just to support his candidacy, but will no doubt be voting for Hillary in November.

I don't understand why he didn't pull out the millenial vote, that would have made the difference.

Hillary or Bernie can win against Trump, thus I am enjoying the primary instead of stressing it. Bernie's problem as we know is in the South.

Trump is probably leading among black republicans also.

But these are small compared to the entire population.

They went for McCain once upon a time. I hope that the younger ones override the older more conservative ones but they ain't the African American vote, much more likely to break Republican if the candidate is Rubio for instance. That's why Hillary should pick Julian Castro as veep.

Latinos, Women and African Americans will crawl over broken glass to vote against him, regardless of who the Democratic nominee is ... because, as you mentioned, it is a vote AGAINST trump.

But the question is ... will working class whites and, particularly, Bernie supporters?
