With the not-insignificant caution that June polls can be way, way wrong about November, we note that Hillary Clinton seems to have a huge lead over Donald Trump. This prompts four questions in my mind…
- How far would Trump be behind if he was running against a Democrat that didn't have a large unpopularity rating?
- We know how nasty Trump was when he thought he was winning. How much nastier will he be if everyone is saying his campaign is collapsing?
- How much lower will any increased nastiness drive his vote totals?
- Are Trump's numbers lower than they really are because people are embarrassed to tell pollsters that they support Donald Trump?
Don't write me, my Trump-supporting friends, and tell me that you're proud to back the guy. You might be now but you won't be by Election Day. Heck, the way he's going this past week, you might be peeling that sticker off your fender by the Fourth of July.
