Trump Support Collapses In New Poll

Trump Support Collapses In New Poll

https://politicalwire.com/2016/06/26/trump-support-collapses-in-new-poll/

SNIP.............



A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump in the presidential race by 12 points, 51% to 39%.

“Roughly two in three Americans say they think Trump is unqualified to lead the nation; are anxious about the idea of him as president; believe his comments about women, minorities and Muslims show an unfair bias; and see his attacks on a federal judge because of his Mexican American heritage as racist.”

A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows Clinton leading by five points, 46% to 41%.

Trump will not be the nominee. They will pull off the rules change and dump him as totally unelectable and taking the entire ticket down with him.

There was never more than about a third of Republican voters backing him.

The GOP elite are desperate to get rid of Trump.

They are finagling how to subvert the will of the repub/cons base and rig the convention against him.

Trump has earned his delegates.

If the GOP establishment is so willing to ignore/bypass the beliefs of their own base, what is to prevent them from doing the same to our country?

The GOP elite in their high and mighty political/corporate towers feel they know better than their own people what our country needs.

If he collapses too much before the convention the GOP might nominate someone else, someone harder to beat. Remember, it is rare for one party to hold the White House for more than 8 years.
