He started this cycle as a virtual unknown. As people got to know him, his popularity rose rapidly. I worry that he has peaked. Certain groups, he is not ever going to convert. Racists, not gunna vote for him, period. Serious republicans, not gunna vote for him. On the other hand, some are pretty much sure votes. The democratic base is a pretty sure vote. The problem I see is that those who could go either way, the ones who decide elections, have seen and judged him, and he is not going to gain alot of ground with them. I don't insist on that as a surety, I do not know. It is just something I think and worry about.
