Clinton Opens Up Double-Digit Lead Over Donald Trump (Reuters/Ipsos Poll)

Alan: Consider this difference between Clinton and Trump.

Hillary accepts money, even from dubious sources.

Donald appropriates money fraudulently, especially from people who are vulnerable, including the elderly, the deceived and gamblers addicted to games of chance. 

 Although such "theft" is often "legal," casino owners are "statistically certain" that the money in gamblers' wallets will soon transfer to their own. 

 Not long ago, American Christians considered gambling a sinful vice.

 Today, most American Christians -- and an overwhelming majority of Christian "conservatives" -- are staunch Trump supporters.

Clinton opens up double-digit lead over Trump nationwide: Reuters/Ipsos poll

Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton has opened up a double-digit lead over Republican rival Donald Trump, regaining ground after the New York billionaire briefly tied her last month, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Friday.
The shift in support comes as Clinton steps up her attacks on the real estate mogul's policy positions, and as Trump fends off criticisms of his eponymous university and the pace at which he doled out money that he raised for U.S. veterans.
Some 46% of likely voters said they supported Clinton, while 35% said they supported Trump, and another 19% said they would not support either, according to the survey of 1,421 people conducted between May 30 and June 3.

Alan: It appears that a decisive majority of the 19% of the electorate who say they support neither candidate are Bernie supporters pumped by the prospect of a convention floor fight that will hand Sanders the nomination. Notably, when Hillary was in contention for the 2008 Democratic nomination, twice as many of her supporters said they would not vote for Obama as the number of Bernie supporters who say they will not vote for Clinton. In the end, "all" Clinton supporters sided with Obama.

 Among all voters, Clinton leads Trump 39.5% to 31.9%.
Trump had briefly tied Clinton in support among likely U.S. voters in mid-May, raising expectations for a tight race between the two likely contenders in November's presidential election.

Trump has all but sealed the Republican nod after a string of big wins in state nominating contests forced his party rivals to drop out, while Clinton is still fending off a long-shot bid for the Democratic spot on the ballot by U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
Clinton is hoping to seal the nomination next week, when a slew of big states including New Jersey and California will hold primaries, allowing her to consolidate her party's support ahead of a general election matchup against Trump.
Clinton's polling surge comes as Trump is been harangued by criticisms over his Trump University, the target of a trio of lawsuits that claim it misled thousands of people who paid up to $35,000 for seminars to learn about Trump's investment strategies. Trump has defended the school and said he will relaunch it once the litigation ends.
Trump this week also outlined the recipients of millions of dollars in donations he raised at an event in January for veterans' groups, in a bid to end speculation that he had not yet handed over all of the money.
On Thursday, Clinton used a foreign policy speech in California to paint Trump's policy platform as "dangerously incoherent" and cast her Republican rival as both a frightening and laughable figure.
Trump responded by saying she lied about his positions and by ripping her record as secretary of state, which he says was marred her handling of government emails and the death of a U.S. ambassador in Libya.
