Remember, head to head competition is not accurate at this point. It's a long way to October.

Head to head polls have historically been wrong. We have the obvious examples of Carter being ahead of Reagan by 30 points in March 1980. Then we have Mike Dukakis with a 17 point lead over George Bush in JULY of 1988.

Then we have the 2008 race in which McCain always polled strongest head to head against the Democrat. In fact, I'm pretty sure there are many Free Republic threads from that era extolling us to vote for McCain in the primaries because he's our "only" chance to beat the Democrat in November. We all know how that turned out.

CNN reporter on location in a wealthy Orlando suburb said the votes were about evenly divided between Trump & Rubio. That should be strong Rubio turf, IMO. Another good sign for Trump.

Hillary’s main problem she’s taken very extreme positions in the primary that will come back to haunt her in the fall.

Trump has no such problem and assuming he wraps up the nomination tonight, he’ll be working on tearing Hillary down and making her unelectable in November.

That is if the other shoe doesn’t drop first with the on-going FBI investigation into her affairs.
