Trumpfags un-ironically believe that Trump is expanding the party

Is anything they reported wrong, or will Trumpfags continue to be in denial?
Probably the latter.

Of course people who use early voting will have voted before, it makes sense that the people who are entrenched in the system use the easiest way to vote. Fucking Jews.

Aiden Scott
Oh I read it, but it has no basis in the reality of the situation.
Just look at this statement
>Republican caucus turnout smashed its past record by 50 percent this year, jumping from 121,000 to nearly 187,000. But, according to figures provided by the state party, 95 percent of the 2016 caucusgoers had previously voted in at least one of the past four presidential elections
It was a 50% INCREASE from last year. Yeah, maybe most of them have voted before. But he brought out a 5% increase in NEW voters, which is huge on it's own. With a 50% increase in GOP voters, and a massive fall in Dem voters, what the fuck do you think will happen? I promise you, that article is just grasping at straws, and not even doing a good job at it
Easton Roberts
The claim is not that he doesn't bring in new people to primaries. The claim is that he isn't bringing in new voters to the primaries.
Nearly all of the new people who are voting in the primaries are people who vote Republican in November anyways.
Hence, Trump is not expanding the party.
>But he brought out a 5% increase in NEW voters, which is huge on it's own.
When the same thing happened in 2012, it worked wonders for Romney, didn't it?
Lucas Jenkins
>When the same thing happened in 2012, it worked wonders for Romney, didn't it?
Romney also didn't have a 50% increase in GOP voting, and it was still a close race
So let me get this straight
In 4 years, there was a 50% increase in total votes for the GOP, a decrease in votes for the Democrats, and even when the votes were low in 2012 it was a close race. You think it's going to be close? Get back on your meds user
Parker Reyes
Blacks won't vote this time
Adrian Collins
>close race >Romney never led in the electoral polling average and lost by 4%
pick one
Also, you act as if all of these new voters are voting for Trump - rather than a good segment being terrified of him and voting against him.
---
As for the general election, Trump might win just because of how awful Hillary is, but it will be a narrow win if he can manage that
The Demographic picture of America gets less favorable for Trump every passing moment.

If Black turnout drops to where it was in 2004, Obama would have still won every state he ended up carrying.

Trump only brings out white racists out to vote for him. He's not popular outside of the racist bubble like Sup Forums.
Luke Sullivan
Who gives a flying fuck? He is still the candidate voters chose and he is still 1000000x trillion times better then anti-christ Hillary. What do you want me to say? Oh no... now he will lose, that sucks? Our country is still super fucked? Would me saying that (assuming it was true) give you some sort of satisfaction?
James Morris

Leo Lee
percent of the 2016 caucusgoers in Iowa had previously voted in at least one of the past four presidential elections They could have voted for any party in the past four years , the point is that these voters are voting GOP and showing up for the primaries.
>In South Carolina, Trump-led ballot brought almost exactly the same number of former Democratic primary voters into this year’s GOP primary as a Trump-free ballot did four years ago. That suggests that the #nevertrump movement fell flat, at least in that area.
>in Florida only 6 percent of those who voted in the 2016 Republican primary did not vote in either of the 2012 or 2014 general elections and were registered to vote then. That amounts to a lot of people—about 142,000—but it’s a fractional share of a populous and fast-growing state that has added almost 1 million voters to the rolls since the beginning of 2012. Again primaries are not GEs and the huge upswing in the primaries will be even more magnified in the GE

As if a large swath of Americans didn't vote against Obama out of fear of obamacare (for good reasoning, it was shit and a big lie)
Not to mention, black people won't be voting as much as they did in 2012, and Trump is loved in NY, much more than Hillary, the state has a chance of going red.
Adrian Stewart
I voted for Trump, not the party. If the party doesn't change to be more appealing to me, I might just as easily vote Democrat for other things besides president.
Noah Gutierrez

Nathan Allen
Even assuming that Black turnout falls back to 2004 levels, and that Trump does marginally better among Hispanics, Trump needs to improve among White New Yorkers by a 40% margin.
Unless you expect New York Whites to start voting like South Carolinian Whites overnight, that isn't going to come close to happening.

Jordan Roberts
Uhhh, she was born in chicago and didn't move there until the late 90's early 2000's for the sole purpose of becoming a senator. She's not a new yorker, she never has been, and she's not liked there. You dont ACTUALLY think she's from New York do you? Trump on the other hand has made The city of new york better for the people that live there and is a true new yorker

Name one thing he's said that's racist
>I know you are trolling now. Trump has flip flopped on fucking EVERYTHING whenever he feels like it. You still think he will enact he Muslim ban faggto?
Watch this video, he's pretty fucking consistant with the same exact message
She openly speaks about banning the 2nd amendment, flooding our country with Muslim refugees and opening our borders in a way that would make even our current administation blush. She is supported and shilled for by guys like Obama and Soros. Trump is attacked by them.
Is that enough for you?

What are Demographics?
You have to be clinically retarded to think Trump can win New York
Sebastian Edwards
we'll see come November
Colton Peterson
Florida voted for Governor in 2014.
If you could show Trump bringing in a significant number of previous non-voters into the party in any other state - I'd love to see that. Unfortunately, you can't - because he hasn't been doing that.
Jordan Brooks
We will see if Trump loses New York by 25% or only by 20%
Unless you think New York Whites are suddenly going to go as Republican as South Carolina Whites go Republican, when they have never come close to doing that in American History
Lucas Martin
HAHAHAH AS IF VOTING FOR GOVERNOR IS EVEN CLOSE TO THE SAME LEVEL OF IMPORTANCE AS PRESIDENT!!!!
Noah Johnson
So? What will be, will be. I personally think Hillary would be a disaster for America so I really hope she doesn't win but unlike many arrogant people I don't assume to know the future. And no Trump is not my ideal candidate nor is he perfect by any means but I still think he looks like a god compared to Hillary.
Ian Edwards
>Trump is loved in NY, much more than Hillary, the state has a chance of going red.
You're the reason why I can't take Sup Forums seriously anymore.
Do you also believe Texas has a chance of going blue because the spics love Clinton and hate Trump? How about Georgia and Arizona?
How fucking politically illiterate are you.
Jackson Perry
Which means that voters who show up to vote for Governor will almost universally show up to vote in other races, since they can be bothered to vote for Governor.
How fucking stupid can one person be?
Adam Barnes
I'm going to vote for Trump in the general as well, but we do ourselves no service by pretending he's on course for some massive landslide win
Jaxon Foster
Niggers are more radicalized than in 2008 and they easily took the narrative that Trump hates them preached by the liberal kike media.

Love the article's sidestep of Dem exit polls saying Bernie voters would pick Trump over Hillary.
Brayden Adams

Bernie voters would never vote for Trump
This is like saying Clinton voters going for McCain
IT DIDN'T HAPPEN FAGGOT
You spend the last couple months attacking Sanders, we aren't going to vote for you fags.
William Bennett
This, I love Trump and all but jesus fuck I have an aneurysm just seeing people assume New York can be red.
It's fucking impossible you niggers. There are LITERALLY too many fucking Democrats. Trump could SWEEP upstate NY and STILL lose because NYC is the whole state.
Unlike Texas where you can strangle Austin and landslide the rest of the state, NYC is too big to strangle.
>Trump is loved in NY, much more than Hillary, the state has a chance of going red.
You're delusional, New Yorkers hate Trump so much even Republican ones let le gee golly jeepers man win Manhattan. The only chance Trump has to win New York is if mudslimes do another 9/11 right before the election.

West Virginia has a lot of people who are Republicans but haven't changed their registration from Democratic. The state used to be solid democrat two decades ago, but then the Democrats decided to declare war on coal, so the state shifted rapidly Republican.

Jaxon Sanchez
>No, you just don't have anything useful to say
No, you're no better than the retards who voted for Obama for "Hope and Change"
Obama only said what the American people wanted to hear and barely gave ANY detailed plans on how he'll make things magically better. Does that remind me you of anything?
It's literally what Trump is doing right now. He's either insanely vague or incredibly fucking retarded
>I will force a country into bankrupty. I will shoot down Russian planes. Let's bomb the families of ISIS. Let's shut down parts of the internet to combat ISIS.
>everything will be great again okay? trust me on this guys I promise you if you elect me you will be good again. I will be good for the people. I love everyone! Please love me!
This entire election is a joke and I do not care who wins. Clinton will win the election and I'm basing that on every single poll that shows Clinton beating Trump in the GE, the demographics who are for and against Trump, and the surveys on each candidates' likability.
Trump is doing worse than Romney with the minorities. That fact alone will ensure a Clinton the Presidency.
Sup Forums, why do you refuse to believe what's in front of your eyes?
Jordan Collins
...and then you realize a net gain of even 2% from JUST GOP voters is roughly 3 million votes. A 5-6% swing would be landslide territory even if the Dems didnt lose a single vote from 2012
Andrew Reed
Forget Minorities, Trump is currently doing worse than Romney among Whites.
He might manage to turn it around in time, but if he does, he's going to scrape by with a narrow win (probably consisting of bagging Florida, and Ohio and Pennsylvania due to coal country)
A Trump landslide is never going to happen. Even ignoring Trump's personal failing as a candidate, America is not as White as it was in 1984 or 1972.
Anthony Williams
No, it's not that. You just use shill talking points. Insulting Trump and Trump supporters in one post and then saying you'll be voting for him in the next.
It's concern shilling and it's pretty obvious.
Brandon Taylor
>Implying that the Democrats aren't gaining millions of new voters from Millennials and anchor babies turning voter age (or that Trump isn't pissing off any White suburbanite Women that Romney won in 2012)
Nicholas Nguyen
Trump's polls keep going up and up every week.
Jonathan Edwards
I'm insulting people who are stupid enough to believe Trump can win New York because they are legitimately retarded.
I don't see a point in feeding the delusion that Trump is destined to win. Maybe if people here don't assume that Trump will win for sure, they might be motivated to actually help him win in some way.
Jack Watson
It's an encouraging trend, but lets see what happens to Hillary's numbers once the Democratic primaries end. I suspect a number of butthurt Sanders supporters will fall in line (just as #NeverTrump fell apart a few days after he won the nomination)
Jordan Rogers
So you're really not a shill, then? Because I was serious about wanting to shill with you for shekels.
Evan Brooks
Trump flipping New York isn't outside possibility. He's well liked amongst every demographic. Hillary isn't.
Jack Wilson
I think Florida and Ohio have a chance of going red but Trump will still lose the GE. Trump would have to win Virginia and Penn and that's not going to happen.
New York is more liberal than California user. Trump doesn't have a god damn chance in hell in winning New York.
Aiden Wright
Uhhh, yeah. I lived in Texas for 5 years. I bet you don't know that ALL the metropolitan areas in texas are blue. ALL of them. It's only a matter of time before Texas goes blue.

I never denied that. I'm talking about this election. Texas will not go blue
Nathan Smith
You don't know that. Between now and the time voting comes, something extreme could happen. Not to mention, Cruz won Texas, not Trump.
Austin Young
>Cruz >a religious nutjob with conservative values won Texas Also, he's a senator from Texas. No shit he'd win.
Also, there's no way the demographics will shift that much for Clinton to win this election.
