Donald Trump is on course to be routed at the ballot box in November. He trails Hillary Clinton by 12 points in the latest Bloomberg News national poll, and has only led her in four polls out of thirty three since April, according to Real Clear Politics. A new ABC News/Washington Post poll finds that his favorable rating has dropped to a paltry 31 percent among registered voters, with 69 percent viewing him unfavorably.
This is hardly surprising, given that he continues to make outrageous comments. Most recently, he seemed to accuse American soldiers of embezzling aid money earmarked for war-torn Iraq—something that he has done before. His fundraising is anemic, and some insiders are wondering if he will have to accept public financing for the general election, which would leave his cash-strapped campaign totally unable to take on the Clinton juggernaut.
The Republican party deserves better than Trump, and it is not too late to get rid of him. The delegates at the GOP convention in Cleveland this July can and should select somebody else as the presidential nominee.
