Thanks Trumo voters in the Republican primaries. Four years of Hillart is on them. I agree that his stuff won't play as well (to the extent it did before, I thought it was pretty awful joke value aside) in front of a national audience, in a 1-on-1 debate. No more Bernie and no indictment means no chance for Trumo.
Bump in the number my guess is due to details coming out about e-mails, not too salacious, in conjunction with Bernie getting ready to back down.
Long road to recovery for Democratic party opposition now (can't really say Republican party anymore). Used to be a fairly easy alliance with red state types. Now more typical Republicans can't help but hate the people who voted Trumo and made this happen. Maybe hatred for Hillart is enough to unify down the road, but maybe not. By then the Supreme Court will be almost irretrievably liberal. May as well just let it happen now.
