Dems Defect: 20% Would V**e Trump!

A new survey shows a sizable number of Democrats ready to defect from Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump.
So if Donald Trump proved the political universe wrong and won the Republican p**********l nomination, he would be creamed by Hillary Clinton, correct?
A new survey of likely v**ers might at least raise momentary dyspepsia for Democrats since it suggests why it wouldn't be a cakewalk.
The survey by Washington-based Mercury Analytics is a combination online questionnaire and "dial-test" of Trump's first big campaign ad among 916 self-proclaimed "likely v**ers" (this video shows the ad and the dial test results). It took place primarily Wednesday and Thursday and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.
Nearly 20 percent of likely Democratic v**ers say they'd cross sides and v**e for Trump, while a small number, or 14 percent, of Republicans claim they'd v**e for Clinton. When those groups were further broken down, a far higher percentage of the crossover Democrats contend they are "100 percent sure" of switching than the Republicans.
When the firmed showed respondents the Trump ad, and assessed their responses to each moment of it, it found "the primary messages of Trump's ad resonated more than Democratic elites would hope."
About 25 percent of Democrats "agree completely" that it raises some good point, with an additional 19 percent agreeing at least "somewhat."
Mercury CEO Ron Howard, a Democrat whose firm works for candidates in both parties and corporate clients, concedes, "We expected Trump's first campaign spot to strongly appeal to Republican Trump supporters, with little impact or in fact negative impact on Democratic or independent v**ers."
He continues, "The challenge to Hillary, if Trump is the nominee and pivots to the center in the general e******n as a problem-solving, independent-minded, successful 'get it done' businessman is that Democrats will no longer be able to count on his personality and outrageous sound bites to disqualify him in the v**ers' minds."
Trump's formidable challenges remain obvious and in no small measure reflect his general style.
A total of 66 percent of Democrats are very concerned with it, as are 32 percent of Republicans and 41 percent of independents, according to the survey.
Further, 65 percent of Democrats said that the "prestige" of the country would be hurt by his e******n, as did 19 percent and 29 percent of Republicans and independents, respectively.
But what if Trump lowered the bombast in a general e******n?
