If anything, Trump has been the only one to change the red state/blue state debate. I confidently believe hes the only republican runner to put blue states into question. Killary sure as hell isn't putting red states into play.

And I just don't see how the polls matter. They were dead wrong on Romney, and they heavily favored Bush, who, as you put it, poured millions and millions into his campaign and never got any backing period.

Politics are changing. Republicans and Conservatives no longer belong to the same party IMHO. Republicans should be in the democrats and moderates party, left wing liberals should be in the communist party, and there should be a party created for the extreme right wingers like many of us are.

Polls don't matter until candidates start campaigning. As elections approach, the polls are generally pretty accurate. My point is that once candidates' names and positions become well known, the poll numbers become harder to move. Trump and Clinton are very well known and it will be very difficult for him to overcome that deficit, IMO. Cruz and Kasich are not nearly as well known, and would be more likely to move up or down in the polls if either one of them is the nominee.

When I read Donald Trump's tweets criticizing Megyn Kelly and other women, it is hard to believe that he really wants to win the nomination. It makes no sense for a candidate who is doing so poorly among women voters to keep digging a deeper hole for himself. These personal vendettas against women are damaging his chances of winning the nomination and they will hurt him in the general campaign if he wins the nomination. He has been publicly feuding with Kelly for more than 200 days. Other feuds with women have been going on much longer.

It is very hard to sound intelligent in 140 characters or less. If Trump simply gave up Twitter until after the campaign, his chances of winning would improve significantly.
