the GOP base is ON to trump. He's gotten more people to vote than they've seen in a long time, tapping into that anger.
BUT THEY SEE THRU HIM! They know he's a volatile lifetime liberal with huge clinton connections. I mean, this Trump statement alone - HE HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS WITH HER for most of her professional life. Mr. Trump, what other people have you done business with WHILE KNOWING THEY WERE INVOLVED IN CORRUPTION?
at some point, if you're paying off enough corrupt people - you become a corrupt person too!!! PLUS, hilary's been under the public microscope for her entire career - Trump has the awesome privacy protection of overseas corporations... nobody gets to scrutinize Trump's emails like they do on Hilary.
many GOP officials are willing to throw an election and give hilary 4 (probably 8 years) in office, in order to avoid a Trump presidency. goodness knows the things they know or suspect that'll come out later. Trump really is that bad.
