I am not convinced that means [Donald] Trump is a lock to be the next president but it does suggest that what he has tapped into is both lasting and powerful.
Christopher Michael CillizzaNothing makes me crazier than the "you gave us Trump" argument based on Hillary Clinton's emails. I didn't set up the private server. I didn't advise her to be decidedly cryptic about the whole thing. I didn't tell the FBI to investigate.

Christopher Michael CillizzaThe editorial board, who endorses candidates, is totally separate from the news side of the business. We don't consult one another. They have one job to do, we have a totally different one to do. So whether the Washington Post editorial board endorses Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton is meaningless to me.
