lose, but donald trump has a very complicated relationship with the republican party. is he a conservative? is he a progressive? is he somewhere in between? we really don t know simply because, one, he doesn t have a long history and relationship with the republican party, but also, two, he has no public i don t know what you want to call it, whether it s a record or history or declarative statements. we simply don t know. i think a lot of people out there are frankly confused about his position on partial birth abortion. robert, we have to go to a live press brief right now in california on that bus crash, so robert, eleanor, victoria, stand by for us. straight to southern california and get the latest from officials there. what we know is that this morning at approximately 5:17, a collision occurred westbound i-10 just west of indian canyon road in desert hot springs. a 1996 mc i-pass jer bus transporting 44 passengers struck the rear of a freightliner truck with a trailer in t
authority. i think at this point of the campaign he has revealed so few specifics of how he would actually accomplish any of thhi goals that i really don t think people are taking what he says very seriously. i think that s what he see bearing out in the polls as well. i think people have basically kind of given up on his candidacy. we ll see fl that 100-day contract does resonate in coming polls because he s just started that messaging as of yesterday. robert, eleanor, victoria, stay with us. we ll get back to you later in the hour. with can the election be rigged as we were just talking about? if so, how hard would bit to do that? one expert will let us know. something new has arrived. uniquely designed for the driven. introducing the first-ever infiniti qx30 crossover.
numbers and what s caused it, let s bring in your panel. victoria difrancesco, professor of mexican-american studies at university of texas. robert traynum, former bush senior adviser and eleanor clift at the day by beast. robert 50shgs% in this abc poll that just came out. as you watch the numbers grow not only in terms of the gap, that 50% is a major barometer to be watching here, hitting that bench mark. is not making any headway whatsoever with the american voter out there, particularly with independents who typically make um their minds at the last minute. it seems like paced based on what you said, more americans, donald trump, saying the election is rigged against them and the election is yet to happen, they re saying wait a minute, this doesn t make sense. this goes against everything we
hillary clinton. and what s fascinating about this is they re obviously not voting as one issue voters. and at that dinner, hillary clinton delivered a very strong endorsement of roe v. wade and also the medical reasons for late-term abortions, and that is apparently catholics many catholics are not going to vote on that single issue, and that s somewhat of a change. not single issue certainly. robert, let s build on what eleanor was alluding to there, the issue of abortion. trump brought it up at the dinner. nearly half of catholics surveyed saying abortion is a very important issue in who they vote for. with that said, then, which of the two candidates theoretically should be ahead right now? some of the headlines have been reading recently trump and the catholic vote, it s his to lose. that was in the hill for instance. it should be in theory his to
