Looks like Trump has done a 180 and is now main stream republican.
***************************************
I am glad to hear this. Do you really think Trump can win when he is only getting 72-75 percent of Republicans?
Well, he can’t. He needs 90+ percent of Republicans, and to win with independents. He is winning independents, but is bleeding Republicans. He needs to turn this around.

I think Ryan is a horrible speaker, but he will most certainly win on Tuesday.
Like it or not, Ryan has a lot of supporters, and Trump needs their votes.

You can’t have public feuds without angering the people who support them.
It’s same way Trump supporters will jump to his defense. You go after another Republican, you will most likley lose some of their supporters.

Excellent point and totally agree. Trump needs all the support he can get to bet Hillary. Sometimes when trying to achieve your goal, you have to make concessions. If Ryan wins, he wins. If Ryan loses, he still wins because he supported him.

Another note to all so you feel better and disregard the polls. For the Maine rally the other day, on the Youtube link, close to 30,000 people were viewing it live. WOW !

So I went back to the Jacksonville rally and over 147,000 have viewed the rally as of today. I compared that to the one Hillary did about the same time with Warren Buffet and the other one with Mark Cuban. Those rallies had total views of 46,000 and 27,000. That is a YUGE difference.

The support is there for Trump even though the polls don't properly reflect it.

Never give up, Never Surrender!!!
