I think this election comes down to the Establishment versus Anti-Establishment vote. Traditional ideological lines are now blurred. Many Bernie Democrats will cross for Trump. Many Rhino Republicans will cross and vote Hillary. The question is how much.
Its Over. Say hello to the next GOP Nominee for President.

"The recent poll also found that Trump does twice as well among Democrats as Clinton does among Republicans in a matchup between the two candidates.
Trump takes 15 percent support of Democrats in a general election matchup between Trump and Clinton, but Clinton takes just 8 percent of GOP voters."

That's absolutely huge. Plus the independents and swing voters. Americans, from all walks of life, want border security and manufacturing jobs back in America. Trumps message has major appeal. Hillary does not. Hillary is open borders and pro-offshoring.
Hillary is in real trouble. Driving to a lunch today with two minority co-workers (I work in tech). ..both voting for Trump. Fiance who voted for Obama twice...voting for Trump. Part of Hillary's issue is she is going to miserably fail the "Who do you want to see/hear on your TV for the next four years" test.

Trump clarifies abortion comment,
Donald Trump now claims his controversial suggestion that women should be punished for having an abortion “was an unbelievable academic answer.”
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee backtracked from the comments he made in March, and issued a series of confusing clarifications, including a statement saying “the doctor or any other person performing this illegal act upon a woman would be held legally responsible, not the woman.”
Now, he’s issued another clarification — and it might be the most confusing one yet.
He told MSNBC’s Willie Geist:
He was asking me a theoretical, or just a question in theory, and I talked about it only from that standpoint. Of course not. And that was done, he said, you know, I guess it was theoretically, but he was asking me a rhetorical question, and I gave an answer. And by the way, people thought from an academic standpoint, and asked rhetorically, people said that answer was an unbelievable academic answer. But of course not, and I said that afterwards. Everybody understands that.

Hint: do not answer hypothetical questions. Politics 101.
Good god, is that word for word?
laughing... I was thinking the same thing. After thinking of a million ways to walk it back... none were good... so that is what came out.
I particularly enjoyed the missing ly on unbelievable... thereby turning garbled baloney into a truthful statement.

one thing for sure he has better taste than trying to rip your clothes off but so again her husband good ole boy bill clinton felt the same way.
Paul Ryan, who was ushered into the speakership of the House position by promising the Freedom Caucus that he would listen to and implement the concerns and the needed rules changes so that conservatives would have a say in policy and legislation. In return, he wanted other rules changes and a guarantee that they would all stand together in unity.
Paul Ryan is withholding his support for the person who will be nominated from the republican party to run for president.
Yes, the Speaker of the House who demands loyalty and unity from the rest of house won't commit to backing the republican nominee for president.
