Spoiler:
Trump wins
They're not anymore. The "silent majority" of today is women, and Trump isn't exactly popular with them.

By silent majority you mean immature white men? Cause that's the only people voting for Trump.
You seem desperate. Good thing that actual data does not agree with you 👆

Funny how Trump's base is the "majority" even though there are more people who hate him than like him. Do you know what majority means?

Also silent majority by definition refers to people who do not express their political opinions opently, not particular gender etc.

Nixon was not the first to use the term. Also, are you implying that demographics are not on Trump's side? What do you mean exactly?
Trump will very likely do worse than Romney did with women, latinos, and young people. Barring unforeseen events, I think this election is Hillary's to lose.

I mean that in the last two elections Republicans got destroyed by the Democrats despite winning the majority of white male votes, which is Trump's main source of support.

Since 2012, white males have actually shrunk a bit as a proportion of the population. 2/3rds of the growth in registered voters since 2012 has come from racial minorities who traditionally vote democrat.
BTW these numbers you posted are only a part of the bigger picture. Mobilization of the electorate is also important.
The polarizing effect that Trump has is actually going to help him out, given how he uses populists arguments (and beats Democracts at what previously was their biggest weapon--populism)
In short, more people are likely to go vote given the "Trump phenomenon" as a social movement. And this movement is oriented against the establishment which Hillary embodies.

These elections are absolutely for him to win and for Hillary to be steamrolled, which I foresee happening.

Hilary's Cinco de Mayo campaign event was shut down by Hispanics and Latino protestors shouting "release the transcripts." This was not covered by any any major news network on TV.

Yet Clinton has the audacity to criticize Trump for eating Mexican food on Cinco De Mayo.

Cos it's most likely going to happen.Unless Trump does indeed have the "best words" and believe me, he's going to need the very best words when he starts facing off against Clinton 1v1 in the primary debates.
The fact it is most likely going to happen is something that should pretty much depress you. I know I know Trump is worse. So think of it like you are in a restaurant eating some soup and the chef comes out and tells you the bad news is there is urine in your soup, but the good news is there is no shit in your soup.
I mean so yeah the situation definitely could of been worse, but it's not exactly something to celebrate.

It's looking less and less that anything real will come of it.The scandal did hurt her though and Trump will certainly continue to use it even after she's officially cleared.
The sad thing is really she broke the law, not in having the server but in her communication nothing will come of it.
I love the media on trump now🙂

Maybe..
Was Bush popular with women, latino's, and the young? If not, have demographics changed so much, that Trump can't win even if he had the same demographics backing him?
Side rant: the electorial college is kind of ****ed up.
Ever hear of a faithless elector? Basically, most electors could say "screw the vote" and pick whoever they want. They usually don't, but they could. It's up in the air whether states could even constitutionally discipline them for going off script, since democracy and forced voting don't mix..
