As always, a very data based analysis from 538. I disagree with Nate Silver on nearly every issue of the day, but his analysis and polling skill is undeniable. Guy is a prodigy.
http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/gop-voters-are-rallying-behind-trump-as-if-he-were-any-other-candidate/Basically, the party has rallied to Trump in a fashion similar to past nominees. Now that he's securing that base, he can more effectively reach out to Independents and Reagan Dems. Its gonna be a tough fight, but there's starting to be a lot of positive signs. Its fortunate that this board is not reflective of conservatives and Republicans nationally.
