HEY w0z........Recall a little bit of history......

allowed the press to destroy him in the court of public opinion.
Getting us involved in the middle east wars was something Bush could never live down. We are still losing lives in Afghanistan many years later. The middle east is still a quagmire, the Talliban still in control.

The several trillion dollars that those wars cost is a black mark that cannot be overlooked. The National debt soared under Bush.
People and are fed up with the left-wing nuts that have commandeered the Democrat Party. Both blacks and hispanics can be no longer be assumed to be in the bag for the party. And now Bernie is looking to run as an independent, which will siphon off more of an already shrinking Democrat base. If yesterday's results are any indication, November may be further vindication of Trump's successful results.
November may be further vindication of Trump's successful results.

Everyone has opinions on these matters...and you did sum it up nicely..........but......

Is there any evidence that Blacks or Hispanics will vote for Trump in meaningful numbers

What successful?... Trump results are you referring to?

1) N. Korea meeting with Trump that resulted in nothing of consequence.
2) Putin and Trump joint interview where Trump got embarrassed
3) Trade war with China that likely will fall into chaos and further damaged our export base of ag products?
4) Sanctions on Iran that European are likely to ignore.

Now Trump does have a very solid and vocal Republican base of about 40% of the Republican party.

But it takes 50% + to win an election

Mid term elections have historically hurt the incumbent party in the White House,

Your opinions are similar to what I have heard from other vocal Trump supporters in my area.
