[Hoot Gibson]

Polls matter very much in politics, which is why candidates spend millions paying for them. Trump is very well known to voters, as is Hillary. That means that moving up in the polls will be unusually difficult.

'Gut, I disagree with your Red State/Blue State analysis. What you said only applies if Republicans nominate a strong candidate. Trump would be a very weak candidate and even though he would be matched against another very weak candidate, Trump would lose in a landslide unless Hillary is indicted and jailed before the election.

The way that I see it, there would be no obvious lesser of two evils choice if Trump runs against Hillary this fall. Hillary should be behind bars and Trump should be in a padded cell.
