On the other side, you have the conservative intelligentsia - magazines like National Review, which has a big anti-Trump issue Weekly Standard editor, conservative talk show hosts - they're mounting a big anti-Trump effort, pro-Cruz effort because they think [Donald] Trump is dangerous and he's not qualified to be commander in chief.

The winner's margin of victory also matters. If it's a squeaker, that will make the lessons learned for both parties much murkier.
Mara Liasson
If [Donald] Trump loses narrowly, it will make it much harder for the GOP to unify. Under that scenario, the Trumpists are likely to argue that the election was lost because the Republican establishment failed to rally around the choice their own voters made.
Mara Liasson
The lesson is that voters in both parties are in a very anti-establishment, populist mood. Hillary Clinton is the establishment candidate.
Mara Liasson
[Donald Trump ] would make history in so many ways because he is a candidate who eschewed the traditional arts of political campaigns, including field organization, traditional advertising, debate preparation and policy knowledge.
Mara Liasson
Yes, the presidential race is very close, and some public polls show it getting closer as we go into the final hours, but in one sense it's actually been stable for months.
Mara Liasson
Until he announced his immigration policy last week, Obama had the support of most Hispanic voters - but not the enthusiasm they had shown for him in 2008. That may be changing in part because of the decision not to deport young immigrants whose undocumented parents brought them here as children.
Mara Liasson
Does Donald Trump accept the results and concede graciously, pursue legal action, or tell his followers to take to the streets?
Mara Liasson
Republicans like Trent Lott, saying [Donald] Trump would be more flexible [then Ted Cruz].
Mara Liasson
Republican candidates have won whites with college degrees in every presidential election since polling began.
Mara Liasson
