Reversing a trend from the past 2 Presidential Elections, it looks like the Republicans have the edge in new voter registration in 4 key swing states. I think Trump can win NC, Iowa, and Florida, but whether he can win Pennsylvania seems very iffy.

Yes and if you read through it, its a mixed bag where Silver tries to offer other explanations for the surge in GOP registration in those states. Silver was completely wrong about Trump in the primaries, and I'm not one to take everything he says as gospel. Here is a good article discussing Silver and other pundits.

OK.....this coming from a guy who didn't give a flying crap about black or hispanic votes until he realized he's getting his ass kicked.....AND...someone who has said on the campaign trail that he only cares about the people who support him.

 

“Hillary Clinton is a bigot who sees people of color only as votes, not as human beings worthy of a better future,” the GOP presidential nominee declared at a rally here Wednesday night. “She’s going to do nothing for African-Americans. She’s going to do nothing for the Hispanics. She’s only going to take care of herself, her husband, her consultants, her donors. These are the people she cares about.”

I saw one of Trump's campaign people yesterday saying over and over that Trump doesn't see color at all.

 

That basically epitomizes how clueless Trump and his staff are. People are different. There is NO problem with "seeing color" and appreciating other peoples' cultures and differences. Most of the time when someone says they "don't see color," they're at the very least subconsciously racist or ignorant or have never been friends with someone who's not their own race. It's also something that very defensive people say. It's what people who are being accused of racism say because they hope it sounds good.

Part of that comment was focused on the fact that Hillary sees people of color as simply a vote and expects all blacks to continue to vote strongly Democratic despite data showing Democratic policies have made black lives worse.

It sounds like Stephen Colbert's bit from the Colbert Report.

And...Trump didn't give a crap about them until someone got it through his thick scull that he's getting his ass kicked. His new found love of blacks and Mexicans is pretty dang fake.

[knapplc]

I can't wait for Trump to spin that wall idea - "I want to build a wall to keep Mexicans IN! I've always love Mexicans!"

The statement would be less perplexing if there weren't mountains of racist, bigoted stuff in Trump's recent (and not so recent) past that people could point to that make them say, "Hmmm, maybe this guy doesn't particularly like those people."

But because there is, it's hard to take Trump and his largely white surrounding cast seriously when they explain how he cares about minorities and Clinton doesn't.
