The numbers for Donald Trump are unprecedented and catastrophic.

[Liberal_in_LA]

Earlier today, the Washington Post and ABC News released their latest national poll of the presidential race, conducted last week, from the peak of the Curiel affair to the immediate aftermath of the massacre in Orlando. The numbers for Hillary Clinton aren’t great. The numbers for Donald Trump are unprecedented and catastrophic. Seventy percent of registered voters have an unfavorable view of Trump (including 88 percent of nonwhites), divided between 14 percent who are “somewhat unfavorable” and a whopping 56 percent who are “strongly unfavorable.” For comparison’s sake, Clinton’s total unfavorable rating is 55 percent. New polls from Bloomberg and NBC News show Clinton with a 12-point and a 7-point lead, respectively.

A presidential nominee with this standing doesn’t just lose in the general election; he brings his party down with him, wiping out an entire generation of leaders in one fell swoop. If Trump remains this unpopular through the fall—and if third-party candidates like Gary Johnson and Jill Stein don’t make substantial traction—he could cost Republicans control of the Senate and perhaps even the House.

5. BTW, I really do think he has Alzheimer's. His dad had it, and his speech and behavior do have

the hallmarks of dementia.

8. I'm starting to get concerned he won't be the GOP nominee

11. Headline in November

Don Con wipes out Republican party.

12. Generation of leaders? Trump won their nomination because the GOP leadership is behind the scenes

the men and companies with $$ are its true leaders. The 15 failed idiots that ran show that the elected morons are just there to produce a human face to the public. Thus there is no way Trump will lose a generation of leaders. Their leaders don't run for office. They don't have to.

13. The GOP will keep on keepin' on just fine, despite Trump.

There are enough Americans who simply hate liberals and will always vote for any Republican.
