The good news is the real undecided groups on other networks all support Hillary by a good margin.

Those votes are not going to change, it is the undecided, and that is who should be in those focus groups

They were embarrassed to support Trump. One said "I'm not a fifth grader" (I.e. About the way Trump talks to people) and another said "I'm a Conservative... He may be a jackass, but if he's leading this wagon train I've got to get on it." Wow.

Trump isn't a "conservative". I can't imagine that Ronald Regan could vote for Trump. Trump will give Eastern Europe to the Russians and tell us how great Putin is while he does it. That's why so many prominent conservatives have rejected Trump: if he wins the "conservative era" will be over.
