Hillary has more popular votes than any candidate running.

between the conservatives and the rest of america can be clearly defined. I suspect hillary will name Julian Castro as her VP selection which will solidly give democrats the hispanic votes all over the country no matter who is on the conservative ticket. We can only hope its trump....he is so out of his element and his depth when it comes down to a political campaign as he can't stop himself from insulting any and every one......so no doubt in my mind....democrats will gain an great advantage.....and if the gop convention turns into a brawl...and a good chance it does....even more will go democratic...

The person running in a 4/5-way race that has been drawing more total votes (between its 4/5 candidates) will get more support from former non-supporters than the person in a two-way race that has been drawing less total votes between its two candidates.

Donnie Bob will stay his course. There will be no "pivoting" to the center or softening his message to appeal to a growing number of moderates and disaffected Dems. His people will stay his people up until the end, joined by those who want to back a "winner" and those who just absolutely and totally HATE Hillary.

HRC will have to "pivot" as the media and the pundits explain at every opportunity. In the process she will shed Progressives like a dog sheds its hair.

Will most Americans believe that Trump and Co are precursors of facism or worse? Nah. Not with the media doing their best to keep the image of "populism" going. The irony, among many, is that the media will be the first to feel the whip once Trump gets going.
