It made sense to me that there were many Latinos and African Americans supporting her who were underneath the social media radar, so to speak, which made the huge crowds at his rallies appear to overstate his popularity.

(But I've seen this before: I watched the rally at the Texas Capitol for women's reproductive rights (in protest of the bill which passed in the wee hours that shut down clinics all over the state, mandated the 20 week deadline, etc.) and thought Wendy Davis was going to be elected governor. Then I watched in absolute horror as women in greater numbers turned out for Greg Abbott. Moral: rallies don't mean shit in the long run.)

So IMHO this should translate as women getting Clinton elected in somewhat overwhelming numbers -- and I thought this before the revealing of this 'underground' support network. But this is an underscore.

Trump doe not have a hope in Hell.
