17. I think there are.

A lot of factors will come into play between now and November, of course, but I think Trump will have difficulty maintaining even the support he has, considering that he's offended nearly everyone and continues to make bizarre statements. That being said, paraphrasing George Carlin, there are a lot of just plain goofy people in this country.

As for CU, it was those activist judges legislating from the bench that the GOP is always bleating about. It's ok, though - they were "their" activist judges legislating from the bench.
