The RNC is over-ALL Trump managed to do was narrow HRC's lead.

This will represent his high-water mark in terms of support.

All we have to do to insure victory is run a passionate, inclusive, mobilization-based campaign that fires up the base and gets millions of new voters registered and to the polls.

We are in great position here.

Be happy.

. . .even with the Bernie supporters. Hopefully, if Bernie gives us a stemwinder speech and explains why it's important to rally around Hillary, that will put that matter to rest. Elizabeth Warren's speech should also be a barn-burner.

As for the "die-hards", "Bernie-or-Bust"ers, those who would vote third-party or write in Bernie, well, fuck 'em. Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine are not going to waste their time and money reaching out to them (they'll leave that job to Bernie and Liz).

Clinton and Kaine, meanwhile, will reach out to the independents and, yes, the Republican voters who are disgruntled and disgusted with TrumpleThinSkin.

I think the Democrats are on a good path to victory, IF WE, THE VOTERS, don't screw things up.

He gained back a few Never Trumpers. For now.
He pandered in the most insincere ways to blacks,
Hispanics, women, gays, etc. Trump did not win over
new voters, independents certainly no Democrats.
Overall, a big fail for the loser Trump.

It's scary how many support trump and their hate is a driving force that gets every one of them out to vote.

Logically, he should have no chance at all. But, somehow, he does. Without facts, logic doesn't matter.

Republicans are selling fear and I have to say, they have me scared half to death. Trump might win.

"LOSER!" And guess whose picture appears next to that?
