When you lead by 12, it doesn't really matter. That means you must be leading in enough states to Zynx Jun 2016 #2

Support in CA NY etc is great but those really aren't going to be contested. Just saying.

and I gave Trump PA OH and MI and he was still short. In that scenario it would come back down to Florida again. Yikes.

I had VA for Hilary and NC for Trump. Lots of scenarios but basically any Repub would basically have to sweep the swing states (unlikely) and hold ground in every other state that they had in 2012.

Dems are going to clean up in the GE!!!

I'm praying for control of all 3 branches so we can get America back on the path of growth and prosperity for all, not just the 1%!

It may take another election to work that majority into something truly useful.

... went to Obama.

The poll over sampled dems (maybe cause noo one wants to claim gop these days) though so I'm kinda taking this poll as an outlier...

If there are 2 - 3 other polls with 10 to 15 point leads then that looks like a down ballot ass whoopin for the GOP and that's when they let tRump.

There is still so much time left. And I am not entirely convinced the GOP won't try to do something like change convention rules.

This year I will be watching it closely to see if the old men with the $$$ in the smokey back rooms try to pull a fast one on Trump and the tea baggers!

I honestly, can't imagine that they will pull the rug out from under Trump. But between him staying in or pulling him out, I think they are going to lose more by pulling him out. He didn't just win. He won by an overwhelming landslide. And now, they are stuck deciding if they want to throw big money trying to slow down the freight train that is out of control.

For the first time in decades, I truly excited and inspired. Big changes are coming.

I do believe that would be the end of that party, but I can hope!

I think lots of republicans are not going to finance his run and sit at home election day or vote for Hillary. Then wash their hands of the whole mess.

The tea baggers will be incensed over that no doubt.

Either way works for me!
