two differences numbers
The difference there is that the [Donald] Trump number on change is so much larger than the lead that the other two have in their lanes. And that's going to be the challenge for those other two going forward. The other challenge for Marco Rubio, and this assumption that you're just going to get all those Bush and Kasich voters.
winning thinking voters
I think you still have a problem here when you're going and you're looking not just that Trump is winning, but he's winning in a broad swath of voters. It's not just that he's got this one lane, oh, he only wins when there's low turnout, he only wins when conservatives, he only wins in these kinds of states. He wins enough across a broad array.

define front instead letting problem
This is called get out in front of a problem instead of letting it define you.
hit wave weakness year
If there is a (Democratic) wave this year and it's going to hit anywhere, it's the Northeast. That is where Bush's weakness is felt.
advantage giving helpful terms woman
Being a woman is very helpful in terms of giving a different look to the party, and she has an advantage there.
border certainly changed control guard inherent jobs last male national sorts ultimate voters whether women
Certainly things have changed in the last 20 years in voters' perceptions whether women can do the job. But there's still an inherent nervousness on the part of voters to put women in as the ultimate decision-maker. Control of the National Guard and border security, those sorts of traditionally male jobs that's where I think voters consciously or unconsciously have difficulties with women candidates.
