Only 10% of Bernie supporters said they might consider Trump if Hillary is the Dem nominee. Just wait till Trump starts pandering to illegals and saying the wall is negotiable as he tries to win the Latino vote. His hardcore support base will see him for the pathetic fraud and sellout the rest of us knew he was from the beginning and they will turn their back on him. Its coming...
I don't think he is necessarily pandering. I think that he is trying to create confusion as to what he really stands for on issues by sending mixed messages on everything. If no one is quite sure what he stands for, he can leverage his charisma, celebrity, sense of humor and personality to overpower Hillary in those areas. And he's got a team of loyal supporters who would never leave him.

That might be a good strategy.

If a terrorist attack were to occur, chances are, those involved are citizens, so a wall is not going to be some magical solution to all this country's problems.

But I know the word "wall" whips his supporters up into a frenzy, so have at it.

The only issue Hillary supporters will get angry about is if she "flip flops" and stops selling women's cards on her website. But Trump moves to a better stance on a non issue and everybody loses their minds.

Nobody knows the Constitution better than Donald J. Trump. Just ask him and he'll tell you. Nobody. He alone can follow and uphold it. Believe me, you better get in line or we aren't going to have a country.

Trump will say anything to win votes. The only thing Trump will do if he wins the election is make himself and his good friends richer. That's it. The man has no principles.

It seems he is gonna use the same strategy he used during the primaries... Make outrageous remarks to get some free publicity.

If Trump pisses off enough people, we might see a conservative like Cruz running as an independent.

Trump is destroying the republican party. At this rate we will have 2 parties in the future, the Democrats lead by the Clinton/Trump/Obama families and the Political Revolution movement.

Do you have a particular favorite issue? Well, let me tell you, Donald J. Trump is for that issue. He's also against that issue. He has a nuanced position about that issue too. He wants you to know, that when it comes to that issue, nobody knows more about it than Donald J. Trump. That you can be sure.

Ron Paul just floated the idea of becoming Trump's Secretary of State. This is why being able to make friends and putting america first beats out selling out to everything but the american people.
