Predictions going forward


1. Trump will remain the nominee if only because ballts have already been printed.

2. The Republican Party will treat this like a mid-term and urge voters to "keep Hillary in check".

3. Mike Pence and Ted Cruz will be asked to step up and stump for candidates around the country.

4. But Trump will still be out making appearances and showing up for the last two debates

5. Republicans will stay home and Hillary will win a massive electoral landslide, winning some very surprising states.

6. Democrats will win the Senate picking up surprising states.

7. Democrats will not win the House but make significant gains.

8. Blue state Republicans (MI, IL, PA, Mn., CA, etc.) will suffer massive losses on all levels.

refuse to participate, after the worst of the "oppo" tapes are revealed. They always save the worst for the last. It will be lethal to what's left of his campaign.
