by Robert Reich:'I’m mystified. Even after Trump said he couldn’t get a fair trial

from a judge of Mexican descent or from an American-Muslim judge, after he boasted that the Orlando massacre proved him correct on Muslims, even after he blamed Obama for the massacre – he’s trailing Hillary Clinton by just 5 points, according to the latest NBC/WSJ poll, released this morning.

Worse still: When the horserace is expanded to four candidates -- including Libertarian Gary Johnson and the Green Party's Jill Stein – Clinton’s lead drops to just 1 point (she gets support from 39 percent of voters, Trump gets 38 percent, Johnson 10 percent and Stein 6 percent). The polls margin of error is about 3 points, which means if the vote were held today, Donald Trump could be our next president.

Where are Trump's voters coming from? He maintains a significant edge among white voters (49 percent to 37 percent), men (48 percent to 38 percent) and independents (40 percent to 30 percent).

What do you think?'

and I think it's foolish to dwell on who will support her/or not, NOW. There's TIME.
