yes the Democrats were brilliant in crossing over to vote for the candidate that would pretty give Hilary the Whitehouse. one reason why I'm opposed to open primaries.

Trump would probably have an easy win in November if not for the RATs (Republicans Against Trump). The war on Trump must give Hillary giggles every time she thinks about it.
