Morning line

With 21 points Trump leads Bush by 11 points. All the rest are in single digits

Among Republicans Trump leads in 6 states, Bush and Walker lead in 3 states each, Huckabee in 2, Paul and Cruz in 1

The most troubling poll to date is a PPP survey in Missouri which finds Clinton trailing in a 2012 Democratic state by 9 to 15 points, with Rubio the strongest opposition. On average, Sanders comes up just one point worse than Clinton in the polls.

Polls in Missouri ought not be troubling, if nothing else they validate a certain logic. If one concedes a constituency without even the slightest challenge, the inevitable result becomes a locally perceived validation of the uncontested. With time the process compounds, and not necessarily at an arithmetic rate but rather geometrically. That the idiocy the Tea Party, et al has become so deeply entrenched is as much the fault of a hubristic, overconfident left should present little surprise.
Such are the consequences of a rejected 50 state policy by the so-called liberal left. They own this entirely through their neglect.
