And Donald Trump makes victory exceedingly difficult for them in these districts as well as the swing states."

"And until Republicans figure this out, Donald Trump is creating problems for them not only with independents but I would argue with a significant amount of the Republican base," he elaborated.

"Yes, Donald Trump controls the party, he has over half the voters, he conceded, "But it depends on which polls you look at, but maybe as many as a third of Republican voters aren't going to vote for Donald Trump this time.
