The Trump Bump has arrived.
After wrapping up an acutely fractious primary in which Donald Trump and his opponents lobbed scores of personal, playground insults at one another, the presumptive GOP nominee has quickly unified the vast majority of Republican voters around one goal: defeating Hillary Clinton, his prospective Democratic opponent.
Entering the general election trailing by about 7 points, Trump has rapidly erased most of that gap: As of Friday, Clinton’s advantage was down to roughly 2 points, according to the HuffPost Pollster average. And some polls, like a Fox News survey out on Wednesday, show Trump inching ahead of Clinton.
The main reason for Trump’s surge over the past few weeks? He is earning increasingly larger shares of the Republican vote — even as some prominent GOP leaders, like House Speaker Paul Ryan, haven’t yet committed to supporting their party’s apparent nominee.
But rank-and-file Republican voters are lining up behind Trump in large numbers, closing the gap with Clinton’s support among Democrats, which had been higher during earlier stages of the campaign.
“Republican voters are consolidating around Trump, and it’s been beneficial to him not to have other Republican opponents constantly attacking him,” said Democratic pollster Geoff Garin, who advises the pro-Clinton super PAC Priorities USA.

No offense, but you seem to be caught up in blather.
IMHO, my personal relationship with Jesus, resulting in my faith and trust that his sacrifice on the cross saved me, is all that matters. So you can take all your intellectual blather, and I sincerely hope you find comfort in it.
“Freepers told me he hit his ceiling months ago.”
Trump is not a serious candidate and is only in it to throw it to Jeb!
This can’t be. The polls show Kasich is the only candidate with a chance to beat Hillary...
