Trump and the 25% black vote = landslide?

Trump vs. Sanders = President Trump
Hillary vs. Trump = President Clinton
Cruz vs. Hillary = President Clinton
Sanders vs. Cruz = President Sanders 

I am adamant that if Sanders is the nominee against Trump that Trump will absolutely bury him.

That's the only iffy one.
The rest I agree with.

I know a lot of sexist Dem guys that swear they'd vote Rep, before voting for a woman president.

It's really about mass appeal.  Clinton has that over Trump and she's less polarizing to the general public.  She'd take the female vote by a large margin.  I don't see Trump beating her.

While unfortunate, I agree.  An atheist will be pouts in my lifetime, but not until I'm collecting SS.  FML.

Well you take solace that we have an atheist in there now. Honestly I wouldn't automatically say no to an atheist candidate it would depend on this positions and in regards to religion of he would use his power to attack religious people or just let everyone be and work on what we ccan improve. I would actually respect a candidate who would be willing to come out and admit they were an atheist.
