Interesting, I thought it was because Trump was such a bad candidate that Clinton was holding her lead.Starting now, yes.
Had someone like him started back at the convention or something, maybe not. But Hillary, for all her flaws, is a formidable candidate.
How many of the people who booed Ryan at his event at his home state do you think would vote for him, instead of writing in Trump or staying home?

I think the problem is the primary elections, to win the GOP nomination you have to be a right wing religious (still don't know how Trump lied about that) nut job. Then you have to put up against the Democratic nominee and to win votes you must not appear to be a right wing religious nut job. The two stance do not go together.
The Labour party in the UK have the same problem, they have elected Corbyn, who has left wing views that make Bernie Saunders seem like George Bush and is patently not a leader. BUT he is just what the Labour members want; trouble is, the UK electorate are unlikely to buy it.
