In Presidential elections where the Republican candidate wins or comes close, you tend to see the same dynamic unfold in terms of the ideological breakdown of the electorate. The Republican wins between 80 and 85% of conservatives, the Democrat wins between 80 and 85% of liberals, and the Democrat wins moderates by some relatively small percentage. The Republican either wins or comes close based on the strength of the fact that self-identified conservatives usually outnumber self-identified liberals by around 35%-25%. This is the dynamic you saw in both 2004 and 2012, which were both very close elections.......http://www.redstate.com/leon_h_wolf/2016/08/01/cbs-poll-trumps-alienation-conservatives-reason-hes-behind/ Trump's support among self-ID'd conservatives in our @CBSNewsPoll is at 64%.Bush in '04 exits - 84%McCain in '08 - 78%Romney in '12 -82%— Steven Portnoy (@stevenportnoy) August 1, 2016

I think this was the whole plan too
Could be attitude:Byron York @ByronYork 38s38 seconds agoTrump in Columbus: 'I could have a very nice life. I don't have to be with you people, ranting and raving.'
Trump is continuing his war on fire marshals today:Sopan Deb @SopanDeb 1h1 hour agoTrump literally just called reporters outside here in Columbus just to complain that the fire marshal wouldn't let more people in.
