Here is the basic premise: I have heard it's about 31m.

If that's true, and if, say, 85%, of that number shows up to vote (26.3m) and if each person brings just ONE who did not vote in the primary (52.6m) then Trump is pretty close already. I think the 2012 number of independents who voted was about 15 million? Assuming Trump only gets half of those, he's at 60m. In other words, without a high turnout, without a single D coming over, without a 10% edge in Independents (which is pretty much a minimum even the bad polls give him), he already has matched Romney's 2012 level.

Rush just reminded us that Trump got more Republican votes (in the primaries) than any Republican presidential candidate ever has.

How many of those have since changed their mind? None I expect.

The MSM is trying to convince us that people are abandoning him in droves.

Never believe the MSM.

I thought this was going to be about the suicide hotline. But why now? Cruz supporters have long since cruzed and losed. And the eletion is far off. And Trump never does bad in a debate.
