He'd have to win a higher percentage of the white vote to compensate for losing the minority vote. It's improbable. If he loses the Hispanic vote he's pretty much fukked. The black vote is typically loyal to the Dems but the Hispanic vote is necessary.
Quote from 2012
"Unless the white vote heavily consolidates -- up to and perhaps beyond Reagan's 66 percent in 1984 -- the party will be hard pressed to get to an electoral college majority in 2016 unless it can find ways to win more of the Latino vote."

Currently Trump leads Clinton by 50-40 percent among whites, down from 57-33 percent last month

I still think ultimately Donald Trump runs into the same problem as Bernie Sanders. The minorities will reject him and he won't win the white vote by a high enough margin to counter it.

Blacks never liked him and he's thrown too much shade on Hispanics to get them behind him in high numbers. People wanna talk about UK with Brexit as a warning but the UK is 87% white. The United States is about 63% white. In the UK the white population is the overwhelming majority but in the US the minorities take up such a decent sized portion of the population that you have to address that. You especially have to address the Hispanic vote as a Republican. It wasn't too smart to say some of the things he's said about them.
Minorities did not reject Bernie Sanders. 89% of black people did not even vote in the primary if I recall correctly. The people who did vote were 45 and up and typical Democrats. Trump's problem is nothing like Sanders. Sanders lost because this was an election decided by age, not race, gender or anything else. Old people outvoted young people like always and HRC won. The majority of black people (nearly 70%) have a positive opinion of Bernie Sanders.

The point is, POC actively hate Trump, whereas older voters just preferred HRC. People may show up JUST to vote against Trump. It's not the same scenrio

I ain't a Trump supporter b. Just know it'll be spun that way (even if Trump is being more shameless) and changes nothing for most tbh unless you think him becoming shyttier makes her look shinier.
