Let's just get real. Donald Trump's numbers have drag on them because of the anti-Trump movement. After the nomination process he won't have most of that effecting his campaign.
Donald Trump is a statistical outlier. He has interesting friends that have believed in his political power for quite some time now.
The polls being conducted now are highly inaccurate. Trump is also conducting 'traditionally Republican' fundraisers. I believe it was yesterday he attended a fund raiser with the coal folks.
The money Donald Trump can attract has never been that of the Republican party before in the large measures it will be realized. There are many people that have befriended him that are looking at politics differently.

A small cadre of Donald Trump's richest (click here) and most prominent Wall Street backers gathered at a high-dollar Manhattan fundraiser Tuesday night in an attempt to shore up the presumptive Republican nominee's near-broke campaign.
Tickets for the event, held at Le Cirque, were $50,000 each. About 60 people took the plunge, according to Bloomberg. The named c0-hosts, including hedge-fund billionaire John Paulson, coughed up $250,000 per couple. Even with those astronomical donations, the fundraiser's total haul - estimated at between $5 million and $7 million - will only modestly improve the Trump campaign's bleak financial situation. As of the beginning of the month, Trump had only $1.3 million in cash on hand, compared to $41 million for Clinton, based on reports filed Monday with the Federal Election Commission.
The bigger gift among Paulson and his fellow hosts might have been attaching their names to the event in the face of a generally souring view of Trump - too erratic, too offensive - among the top ranks on Wall Street....
I suppose propagandists can play with the idea of the unethical millionaire, but, it took no time for him to call on friends to set up a fund for Veterans' groups. It was a matter of days. I doubt his friends will jump in until after the convention.
His ability to raise money and have donations from the average Republican voter is real. He is obviously not worried. He didn't not spend money on ads the way other did in the primaries. He won the nomination. I think it is far too early to tell who winners and losers are. The reality is that doesn't solidify until two weeks or so before the elections.
Oh, yeah, the NYTimes had an article that the Clinton campaign doesn't understand the persistence of Senator Bernie Sanders.
Senator Sanders is a really interesting guy and when the American people are traumatized over and over, there stands Bernie with an undisturbed view of the world and never sees war as an option, too.
Bernie's values are consistent and very long lived. Americans feel confident of Senator Sanders and go about their lives knowing how he would view and handle any circumstances that arise.
That's Bernie. Why is that so difficult to understand? Americans are suppose to automatically switch to Hillary? Isn't that arrogant and very dismissive of Senator Sanders very successful political career?
