Evil is entirely the correct word.

The vilification of Trump is all pointing to one thing - if Trump still looks likely to win in October Obama will declare martial law and postpone the election indefinitely.

Democracy and the Constitution do not matter to these people.

This situation represents what happens when the people nominate someone who doesn’t embrace the 2-party system. Trump is a threat to the posh lifestyle that politicians have comfortably held for generations. Whether you agree 100% with Trump or not, this is our chance (bigger than any 3rd party candidate) to finally break down the fortress that seemed an impossible task. If you are tired of the 2-party system, electoral college, big government, unaccountable government, etc, then you need to vote for Trump. If Trump does not win, the only option left to stop government oppression over the next decade will be a revolution or civil war.

While that's cute, the fact is that there will be NO CWII or revolution. People have too much debt, and are far too worried about losing their "stuff", to participate in such a thing. Case in point: Why is it most have trouble showing up to rallies and protests? They got jobs to go to, mortgages/rent to pay, car payments to make, etc. That ALL goes away the moment they shift their focus.

You may not get a full blown CW11, but you might get acts of terrorism.

I suppose that to a large extent we have hate radio to thank for all this extremism.

Take any Fox News "poll" and give 3 more points to Hillary and subtract 2 from Trump.

Hillary is up 15 points!

These polls are going to really start to hit now with the Khan story having an effect. Long way to go, but these polls contribute to the anxiety in the Republican Party. This will depress his supporters and contribute to the image of a campaign in crisis.

They spent today trying to shine their turd of a campaign up and these new numbers are going to send Republicans into even more of a frenzy.

Wait until Senators start un endorsing him.

As predicted, he is the end of the GOP.

Secretary Clinton should have after the GOPers' refusal to kick Trump to the curb, a 10% margin overcomes the gerrymandering advantage for the GOP in House races and would give us both chambers of Congress.

That all the people he knows in Michigan are voting for Cheeto because of the trade pacts especially Nafta. He thinks Cheeto will win on this one point.

We are seeing Cheeto imploding and showing how he is becoming more mentally unstable right in front of our eyes.

One of the talk shows was interview Steele and some other republican talking head. They were all about how the polls were still close and there is time for trump to get his act and message together.

They both agreed that if the numbers ever reached double digits there would be panic and you would start seeing more republicans shitcanning Trump and going it alone.

The next 2 weeks will be interesting. Because at some point in time some of the trump supporters who are not all in, and there are a few, will feel that they have sufficient cover to bail on him. Even another 3-4 percent reduction in his support and things will get fun.

But we should also keep in mind, while this is great news, it could and may well swing back in the other direction.
