I figure no Clinton voters will jump ship for him, unless it's these moderate Republicans she's been courting. But even if they go for McMullin, she'll still be in the lead, and if McMullin also pulls from Trump, he may put more states than just Utah in play.

... the screen-capture is GREAT! That site loads very slowly sometimes. (Especially when I want to go directly to the "NOW-CAST" graphic.)

... when browsing this site from my smartphone, I don't even DARE to go to that site. It won't display properly at all. So the screen capture is VERY much appreciated in that regard.

It's barely hanging on for the Republicans. If they lose that, it's game, set, match.

In 2012, Missouri was only 0.33 percentage points more Republican than Arizona. Indiana was 0.84 more Republican than Missouri. And South Carolina was just 0.27 percentage points more Republian than Indiana.

The so-called independents and moderate republicans may be making a permanent move left: If they voted for Obama twice and Hill once or twice, would they really ever go back to the dumb-old gop???

I say prolly not.
