drgs,
I think you'd be surprised. Look at the polls. Trump has lost and is continuing to lose an incredibly important demographic: white suburban women. In reality, his evangelical "base" is minimal. The fanatics who show up at rallies represents minimal amount of supporters and the Republican voting public.
I need to look for some articles, but there have been numerous over the past year about his waning support from suburban white women (often single) - typically moderate voters more concerned with what they're earning, their prospects in life, etc. and entirely turned off by Trump's behavior, immorality, misogyny, etc.
I hope it's true.

- weren't the polls sure trump couldn't get elected the first time? don't recall exactly, but trusting in polls is not the best idea mg33.uan
- I'm not trusting in them by any means. I'm just hopeful they're not wrong.mg33

- When reason abandons, when reality bites, we are left with nothing but 'hope.' Or astrology.; both equally effective.********

- Considering all that led to this, looking at polls might not be the best predictor of anything.ben_
- According to this article another factor is that the Trump voting base is literally dying off (due to old age, drug overdoses etc).yuekit

- Having said that you could make a case either way. Trump is behind in the polls but it's close enough that he could win again.yuekit

- Hypothetically, it's perfectly reasonable to presume the polling was accurate but the results different because of vote manipulation.mg33
- But as a pragmatic person, I will withhold assumption or judgment until definitive facts about votes being tampered are presented.mg33
- The reason he could win is that his party is united behind him and the democrats aren't united behind a single person. The splits alone are going to be the issumonospaced
- Here is some evidence that doesn't rely on polling, in the midterm elections one year ago Democrats won by 54% to 45%.yuekit
- mono - fair point, but that's expected in an election cycle for any party with 12+ candidates vying for one spot.mg33
- The same way that people who even hated Trump voted for him to vote against Hillary could play out for Dems. I mean, why wouldn't it?mg33
- There's not a chance that Dem voters who can't stand Trump sit out because their preferred candidate isn't on the ballot.mg33
- It's not just a point. It's the very reason people feel he'll win again. He's got 50% of the nation guaranteed. Dems need the same or they're fucked.monospaced
