I’d sort of forgotten about the pollster Gallup, but this is interesting:
Democrats can be encouraged. But how about Republicans? If this is accurate, I doubt Mr Trump, no matter how much he runs around with his hair on fire and screaming, is going win – or even be competitive.
A Democratic blowout may be numbing for the Republicans. You really have to wonder: If Trump had dropped out and Haley had become the Republican nominee, would we looking at a different graph?
But the Republicans allowed a demented old man direct their destinies. There were reports of members of Congress receiving threats of violence if they didn’t back Mr. Trump, or so former Rep Cheney (R-WY) claimed. If a few of them had had the courage to take the risk, would this be happening to them? Or would they have booted Mr Trump, who’s never won the popular vote, and taken a chance on a better candidate?
