Oh, a great many DEMs are very much like the GOP, willing to lock step with the party, no matter what the problems are with their candidates or policies; they are just as capable of just taking that little Party 'voter guide' that arrives just before an election and blithely and blissfully mark their ballots as the Party bosses dictate, logic and common sense be damned; the real problem for the GOP/Trump is the rather large number of Independent voters (and, also, undecided voters) who could and very well will be the deciding factor come November; again, there hasn't been any significant shift in the numbers towards Trump and the GOP from the rather large block of people who aren't party-bound drones; the statistical dead heat is mainly and overwhelmingly between those who are Party-bound, and the rest don't really want anything to do with what your parties demand as a 'take a side' requirement; we Independents will take our ballots and, instead of mindlessly and brainlessly 'rubber stamp' a slate of candidates being spoon fed by the GOP and DEM parties, we will vote based on our own, individual, considered ideas and positions, an act of ultimate responsibility...
So, basically, the lack of a shift towards Trump and the GOP has nothing to do with the DEMs and everything to do with the fact the GOP candidate is so weak and repulsive that he can't even capitalize on the poor performance of his opponent and even with a weakened opponent, something which would assuredly give a major poll 'bump' to any other opponent, he can't seem to even attract the support of the Independents and undecideds; overall, not a very big bell-ringer of an optic...
