What Trump does in a Republican primary is not at all shocking if u follow the bread crumbs....The Repugs made their own bed...

Trump is winning because:

--White working class feel like they have been left out of the economic picture...

--The base of the Republican Party has been lied too by their own people (WE WILL KILL OBAMACARE!!!!! OBAMA IS THE DEVIL WE WILL LOOK OUT FOR YOUR INTEREST!!!!)

--Companies shipping jobs overseas...KILLING the Middle Class...

But in a general election u need more than mad white folks...And that's the issue when it comes to the Republican party overall...The demographics are KILLING them...

In order to win Trump has to get 7 out of 10 pr white men to vote for him, which is damn near impossible...He also needs to get more votes than Romney did with minorities: blacks, Latinos, Asians....And WOMEN....

Trump beating Cruz and Kasich with the female or Latino vote ain;t anything to celebrate...Not when u r polling that 8 out of 10 Latinos have an unfavorable view of Trump...

Hillary Clinton is VERY lucky.....
