Hillary Clinton is really unpopular. People distrust her. So it means a lot when polls say that she beats Donald Trump by significant numbers, which should shake up those Republicans who seem to believe they can come to terms with their peculiar, unstable, unbalanced front-runner.

Trump’s assault on Heidi Cruz should make them think twice, thrice, and four times over about backing a man who seems to think that showing an unflattering shot of a good-looking woman next to a doctored years-old glamour shot of a professional model, who probably has had thousands of dollars of “work” done already, is the way to the hearts, minds and ballots of Middle America. He is not electable, he can never be normalized as he will never be normal, and he becomes more unhinged as the process continues. It makes you wonder if they’ve thought this thing through.
