I'm curious to see what will happen in the general election in November. Will these people end up holding their nose and voting for Trump simply because he has red next to his name? I'm guessing they likely will. At this point I don't have much faith in the American electorate to do the right thing in this election. But stranger things have happened.

CNN has been highlighting the voting weakness for Trump during the primaries and it is within the suburban voters. Those voters have been supporting Haley as they are much more moderate or independent. They will likely decide the election for Trump because he needs those voters to get behind him.
