Despite a couple of recent outliers, Donald Trump’s polling is grim: 94% unfavorability among black voters being one new number doing the rounds. It’s so dire, in fact, Hillary appears set to win in a landslide despite her own shortcomings. Jeet Heer:
Trump’s manic, narcissistic, and immature response to the Orlando massacre has been a key turning point—or, looked at another way, a final straw. Just as Republican elites were learning to live with Trump, so long as he kept his promise to act more “presidential,” he’s now made it clear that he’ll continue to be the same old Trump the world has known for decades. The result is that elected Republican officials are starting to un-endorse Trump or say they won’t back his presidential bid. Republican governors in Maryland, Michigan, and Massachusetts have all said they won’t vote for Trump.
