"SNIP.............



Donald Trump just took a nosedive in the latest Fox News poll.

Released on Thursday, Trump dropped six points from his position in last month's Fox poll. In May, Trump held a 45% to 42% lead over the now presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton.

But this month, Trump found himself trailing Clinton by a 42% to 39% spread.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee lost three points with self-identified Republicans and a whopping 11 points with independents.

As most astute political observers had predicted, the minute we democrats had a nominee and started to unify around it, polls sharply registered.

We have Warren, Sanders, Obama and many more bright democrats who will unite and pull for Hillary. Trump has alienated everybody including his own party. He is not going to have high profile republicans go to bat for him. He alone will face a united democratic party and will end up obliterated.

Try to at least hide your disappointment that Clinton is doing well.

4. The large number of those opting for something other than Trump or Clinton is notable.

The Republican primary in particular has been marked by relative dissension. I do wonder if this will ultimately be a two-person affair as with the last three cycles. There's now heightened media account of "dump Trump." I think no such thing will happen. I also think the Republican types don't have it in them to support a third party. So I suppose a two-person race is highly likely.

As he has legit pledged delegates that can't switch their vote unlike our Super-Delegates. Denying Trump the nomination will drive the TeaBaggers over the edge.
