We are seeing the separation growing in the polls between hillary and trump

[beachbum bob]

and the polls are yet to reflect how poorly trump is actually doing and this horrible down ballot effect. I still wish the big push against trump would start after their convention. Really don't want to give him or the conservatives time to change nominee...they see the writing on the wall and its not pretty for them....and there is still time to bail on on their part

1. Maybe it's good our primary took so long! Gave the GOP time to get stuck with a dud!

Oooops!

[BootinUp]

2. They can't change the candidate. He is being defended

on the tube quite a bit because they have no alternative.

[spooky3]

5. They could. If they make a deal with him behind

The scenes to withdraw (for money he probably needs), he's free to do that. Then they could choose someone else.

But I suspect his massive ego loves the adoring crowds and potential power even more than $.

[Walk away]

3. They aren't going to change candidates, they are going to run two seperate campaigns.

One for Trump and another for every other republican running!

[stopbush]

4. Dumping Trump would be a good thing for the Ds.

Who do they replace him with? One of the also rans who lost to him in the primaries, or some totally untested and unvetted person who would been seen as a usurper? Paul Ryan, who was a horrible candidate for VP?

The Rs are in a no-win situation, and they know it.

[spooky3]

6. I don't know why the lipless wonder thinks everyone

would be thrilled with him as a candidate after the 2012 campaign loss, but the narcissism is strong with this one too.

7. They are caught!

The primary voters picked Trump. The Republican "establishment" can't ditch him without breaking the party.

50-70% of Republicans don't consider what Trump says as racist or bigoted. Possibly, 50-70% of Republicans are racists and bigots! But we knew that!

Trump is the gift that keeps on giving!

[beachbum bob]

10. totally agree though I don't think the percentages are as high...40-50% range more likely

but those 40-50% are zealots and they do vote, they are racists and trump reflects there morals and values


30 years of cultivating the hate is paying off for conservatives....many thanks to Newt Gingrich, rush limbaugh and foxnews....Im enjoying their heads exploding with trump

karma is a real mofo'ker

[yallerdawg]

12. 73% of Republicans...

have a favorable view of Trump. Most recent poll.

Hillary has 76% Democratic favorability. Bernie is 78% without 3 decades of bashing.

Pgs. 15-16:

14. Sorry. Much closer to 90% and I'm being conservative

[Cha]

18. Ain't that the truth.

8. I don't think it matters whether they dump Trump or not. They've already been stained by him.

The major GOP figures who have sat back and allowed the hateful bigot show to continue with nary a protest all co-own his remarks now. He made them under the GOP banner, for which they are all responsible. The questions about those ideas and policies and the sentiments behind them don't just go away, especially since Clinton's campaign will be linking them to other GOP policies as "almost as bad as {Trump's idea}."

The GOP needed to stop Trump before he got this far. Now it's just too late.

9. I don't feel 5he least bit sorry for them

One would hope they would learn something this time beyond the usual "not conservative enough" b.s.

Leopards don't change their spots, their demographic will just keep dying off.

[Thinkingabout]

11. Hillary has become the presumptive nominee and as expected has risen in the polls.

[eastwestdem]

16. And most of the current polls were started before it was official. It should continue to get

better for us as the party unites.

[northoftheborder]

13. No pity for GOP....they get what they deserve.

[Surya Gayatri]

15. "I still wish the big push against trump would start after their convention."

You and me both!

OTOH, if they tried to change horses in mid-stream, I think the party would splinter apart irreparably.
