Foreign policy is pretty far down.

Given the electoral map , I guess a minimum of 60 percent .Let's say 90%.
Both the Pauls and Trump have said that Iraq is not just a foreign policy issue, it is an economic issue. See the videos below:
Ron Paul was one of the first to emphasize that the Iraq war IS an economic issue. Trump has made the message popular with the general public. When they say the economy, Trump will tie it back to Hillary's support for the war just like he did to Jeb Bush in the that video.
Let's say 90%.
Iraq war is old news.
Do people forget how many states the dem machine has locked up ?
She'll be in prison before the elections.
Yup.
I'd expect Trump to do about the same as Romney (i.e. total wipeout, loses all the major battleground states), and maybe worse in the SW.
Trump's net favorability among Hispanics is -65 (lol).
That's substantially worse than Romney, who himself did very poorly among Hispanics.
Romney didn't lose because of Hispanics
so their vote doesn't change the overall outcome, it only matters in about 4-5 competitive states.
The Hillary vs X polls have been all over the map in recent months, with some months showing her losing to most of all the GOP contenders, other months winning against all of them.
If it's Sanders, even worse---I don't expect a socialist to win a single battleground state.

She consistently beats Trump.
As you can see below, she's beaten Trump in 22 of 25 polls counted by RCP since last November, often by double digits.
Not that it matters (Hillary will be the nominee), but Sanders beats Trump by an even larger margin in most cases.
He beats Trump in every purple state I mentioned, except FL, where Trump has a 0.8% lead at the moment.
Romney didn't lose because of Hispanics, he lost because he did poorly in energizing anybody else to vote for him. Over 60% of them are concentrated in states like CA, TX and NY, that are already locked in the Democratic or Republican column. So most of their vote doesn't change the overall outcome, as it only matters in about 4-5 competitive states. The 'Hillary vs X' polls have been all over the map in recent months, with some months showing her losing to most of all the GOP contenders, other months winning against all of them.
All we know for a fact, regarding Trump vs. Hillary, is that 1) the few weeks Trump directly engaged the Clintons in January, the latter ran for cover, like scolded dogs. 2) We also know, to date, that everybody who has gone negative on Trump has dropped in the polls, and stayed dropped. Hillary will be no exception. If it's Sanders, even worse---I don't expect a socialist to win a single battleground state.
And Romney and most of the GOP 2012 field consistently led Obama in the pre-election campaign months in the last cycle, example:

Until the candidates face off head to head, and accordingly take a beating from each other, pre-campaign early polls are unreliable.
Hillary will likely not stand up to the scandal barrage Trump will put her through
and Sander's socialism will not stand up to the campaign Trump can raise against it in the purple states.
