RNC’s wishful thinking of Trump hitting his ceiling is wrong; he has plenty of room for growth
Coach is Right ^ | 11/30/15 | Kevin "Coach" Collins

The befuddled “experts” can’t figure out why Donald Trump is doing so well in the polls. They KNOW he is wrong on everything; they KNOW he is a clown, a buffoon, a snake oil salesman, take your pick. Using THEIR old rules of politics they have declared Trump’s campaign dead so often it’s hard to keep track of them.

The bottom line is that Trump is not going anywhere. He did not fade by Labor Day or Halloween or Thanksgiving. He won’t fade and they know it so they have fallen back on trying to trick people with their lie that, “Yes he is ahead now but he has NO PLACE to go but down because his support is almost totally from the far Right.”

This is very wrong. However intuitive it would seem, even to many on the Right, that assertion doesn’t hold water.

Trump scares the Republican National Committee but things are far worse than they want to admit. The surveys do not show Trump on top because he is being supported only by the far Right. Trump is on top because he is supported by a broad spectrum of Republicans and would in fact not be on top if he had to rely only on “very conservative” Republicans.

His tax plan would hurt “hedge fund guys” as he puts it; and he doesn’t see the need to cut Social Security or Medicare benefits. Both of these positions appeal to a wide...

What about young voters who weren't old enough to vote in the last presidential election? My best guess would be that they'll gravitate to the Republican primary and vote for Trump.

There's no reason for them to sign up as Dems. Sanders isn't viable and younger people I know don't like hillary.

Besides that, I'd assume the polls are under-representing Trump's support because they couldn't possibly reflect the percentages he'll get from Veterans and anyone connected to the military and from voters 60 and older, who mourn the loss of the US Trump wants to bring back.

Facts:

1) Except in the very odd/exceptional election year of 1964, the Dems haven’t cracked 50% of the whites in a Presidential election since 1932.

2) Once the ‘64 election was over, the Dems understood that they would never win another Presidential election again unless the Republicans REALLY screwed up...or unless they changed the electorate in a dramatic way.

3) The Dems, courtesy of Bobby Kennedy who wrote the law, and Teddy Kennedy who pushed it in the Senate, passed the 1965 Immigration Act. That law dramatically reduced immigration from our then-traditional large sources of immigrants - England, Ireland, Holland, Germany, etc. - and replaced them with vast numbers of Turd Worlders...whom everyone knows vote around 80% for Dems, and will continue to do so for the rest of their lives, as new immigrants have traditionally done.

4) As a result of the ‘65 Act, and due to the Dem’s outright lying in ‘86 regarding an effective (or any) fence, there are now probably 30 - 40 million illegals in this nation. Note that the (probably low-ball) figure in 2005 was 11 million...we have 2-3 million come in every year, so simple math says that the number is actually somewhere between 31 and 41 million). If any substantial portion of these people ever become citizens, then the Dems will have accomplished a complete shift of the electorate, and will be virtually invincible on the national level. Every state will become like California, both politically and economically - which is to say, overwhelming Dem and broke. But at least if you don’t like California now, you can leave for a better place without much trouble - where are you going to go if EVERY state is like that?

5) Every Republican, and every Conservative voter MUST UNDERSTAND that if such a state of affairs comes to be, NO OTHER ISSUE WILL MATTER AT ALL, because we will ALWAYS AND FOREVER lose on those issues. Immigration is THE issue of this election, and this election is as critical as the 1860 election was - and for the same reason, because it will determine whether this nation continues on as it has existed in the past, or becomes a new and unrecognizable entity that simply occupies the same geographic territory.

Please wake up, and help others to do so by sending them this post (or recommending “Adios America” to them). It really is THAT important.

Hope Trump likes kitchen sinks ‘cuz they threw plenty at him already. Soon they will be chucking the refridges at him as the last ditch items.

Trump started at about 12% and he’s now, at least from what I’m seeing, high 20s to mid 30s. I’m not exactly sure what makes everyone think that he has a base that will never leave him and that’s it. He has consistently appealed to more people. I don’t think he’ll win because I don’t think the establishment will let that happen but what I’ve been reading about ceiling is quite contrary to what I’ve seen

Problem for the GOPee is that no other ‘establishment’ candidate polls anywhere near Trump. The dynamics are different than 2008 and 2012.
‘We’re not gonna take it anymore’.

I always find it amusing that Rove and others say that Trump has topped out at 30+, and can’t get any higher, but Bush who’s at about 6 percent or Rubio at 10 percent both have plenty of room to grow. Why don’t they think that Bush and Rubio have both topped out or reached their ceiling?

Trump has the smartest, most vicious cadre of attorneys this side of the Hudson River to insure that that won't occur.

Trump’s ceiling is sky high. He’s picked the perfect theme song for his campaign...”We’re Not Going to Take it Anymore”!

The idea that Trump is carrying fair-weather voters susceptible to spin is the falacy of a generation.

Trump supporters are broken glass types who know the politics and refuse to be fooled again.

Chuck Todd’s melt down yesterday, barking at Trump like some junk yard dog. Todd, got a look on his face like he just ruined his career. All they are showing today are transcript snips of the talking points Todd was handed because they dare not show Todd’s insolence.

So I’m LMAO right along with you.

Immigration is the urgent & critical issue of 2016.
