Comedian Jay Leno doesn't think Donald Trump will last in the GOP presidential race, and predicts he'll exit when his poll numbers drop.
You know he will, Leno said Wednesday of the GOP front-runner on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "You know hes going to drop out. As soon as he drops in the polls, hes gone.
Leno admitted he appreciated the comedy material in the 2016 race, citing former Gov. Martin OMalley (D-Md.) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) as two White House hopefuls he finds amusing.
My favorite guy right now is a guy I talked about last night, Martin OMalley, Leno said. "Hes 2 percent in the polls. Hes been in the race for eight months and hes only tied with low-fat milk. Thats not good you need more.
Im enjoying Ted Cruz, Leno continued. "I dont want to say hes right wing, but he feels that [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu is not pro-Israel enough. That would be right.
I think its hilarious, Leno said of the presidential race. "Its very funny to watch. Im enjoying the whole spectacle of it.
Leno also praised former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-Fla.) and Gov. John Kasich (R-Ohio) for the way they present themselves on the campaign trail.
I still think he has the best chance, he said of Bush. "You cant even count him out. [He can] just stand off to the side and watch the others tear each other apart.
The guy I like is a guy from Ohio, Leno said, referencing Kasich. "He seems like a normal, decent guy.
Trump leads the GOP field nationally in multiple polls, despite never holding elected office.
Trump drop out?
Wishful thinking, Jay.
Its hard to imagine circumstances which would cause Trump to drop out. He’s hitting every pitch right out of the ballpark....
why quit? the idea is absurd....
Leno owns 200 antique automobiles & the building they are stored in.
Kinda hard to relate to Joe Sixpack & his 1997 pickup.
As a minor bundler for Cruz, I get to see internal polls every Blue Moon, and youre right.
About the time Trump entered the race I started listening to Jeff Kuhner, WRKO out of Boston now on 12-3 and will syndicate against Rush hopefully soon. The disdain for the ruling class was at a level I have not heard ever. Remember this is the Peoples Socialist Republik of Taxachuetts, and they have it way worse than many parts of the country. If they were feeling it, they were ahead of the curve. This past weekend, trial balloons floated that Trump with stump in MI and meet with the Unions, and may snag the "Blue Dog" Democrats from Macomb County ( which I predicted on June 18th here on FR... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3301759/posts?page=7#7 )
You could see it with the media using his name constantly before the 1st rounds of poles, they were signaling they were given their marching orders to destroy him.
It is real, and 2nd-D, I'd love to see the accuracy of the poles you are seeing aka are they as (I hope I have the abbreviation correct ) good as PPI. Regardless, you can feel it in your gut, like it or not he is the protest candidate and more, and like the Tea Party they don't know what to do with him. They stopped us, hopefully he can out wit them all and not be stopped...
That was Letterman

I wish I could. If you find out let me know.
He has a kinship with the Democrats because he and John Kerry share the same facial dimensions.
Do tell? I love the dirt on these hollyweird freaks. How dare them preach to us about leaders. Can’t these old bastards just die already.
He wasn't talking about average folks. He was talking about Trump's reaction when his numbers tank. If they tank.
And if they tank, I'm with Leno - I think Trump will exit stage left, given his ego. There's some things about him I like and some things I don't. But I do believe he's in this for HIM.
Which makes him pretty much like all the rest.
As I recall Leno made the same prediction about H Ross Perot and he was right. Oh dear.
Perot was an easy prediction. The guy was a complete phony, IMO. If Leno thinks Trump is like Perot, then you know Leno’s way off track to begin with.
2 the Media & Politicians that said his poll numbers dropped, "TAKE NOTICE BABY" .@realDonaldTrump is still on TOP! pic.twitter.com/3yemrXh4ys— Diamond and Silk (@DiamondandSilk) October 7, 2015
Same here. Family members who hardly ever discuss politics, are so excited about Trump. Bumper stickers and everything...all in ;-)
I guess Barry Diller is calling people and giving them their marching orders.
Yes....all hands on deck, for Barry Diller. Rather ironic that old Jay happens to be pushing Mr Low Energy/Low Polling ¡Jeb!, isn’t it?
Now that is a funny line. :)
Yep, whenever I want to know how the political winds are blowing, I listen to the 50 IQ clown show Leno.
Leno channeling the great carnac...
who cares what he thinks...
or any other celebrity
if polls and celebrities could predict winners we wouldn’t need to vote... just let them decide the winner...
court jesters are there to amuse not educate
and opinions are like spinchters.... almost everyone has one
I think Leno was being serious here. He’s actually a thoughtful, reasonable guy in the magazine interviews I’ve read.
But in no way is Leno a conservative Republican, as some have alleged. His jokes, contrary to claims, are just as as trashy as those of many other crude comedians. He’s never openly taken political opinions, unlike my conservative hero Pat Sajak. Also, Jay is married to an ultra-liberal feminista, Mavis.

Having his name constantly in the news is going to hurt Trump big time.
(really, I mean it)
.
He can’t see past his chin.
