I'm expecting to see some kind of effort, not specifically sure of what, but something, to attempt to prevent Trump from coming away from Cleveland with the nomination. I've seen various postings, mostly on social media, that claim the delegates can be released from being "bound" and can nominate from the floor and elect whom they please. Presumably, that would be Cruz, since his people apparently have controlled delegate selection processes in an awful lot of states. They certainly did here. Will they dump Trump to field a nominee who can beat Clinton? I wouldn't be surprised at that, nor would I be surprised to see a Republican establishment candidate run third party. Supposedly Romney is ready to do so.
Clinton is widening her poll lead, now 49-37 in the NBC poll that was just two points apart three weeks ago. The problem Donald has is that there are still five months to go before the election, and he will have done a lot more speaking and commenting by then.
