Trump's Dominance in South May Force Debate Rivals to Attack Him
Newsmax ^ | August 5, 2015 | David A. Patten

Pollster Matt Towery released the exclusive Newsmax-Southern Political Report Survey conducted by Opinion Savvy late Tuesday. The poll, which has a margin of error of just 1.3 percent, showed Trump dominating the rest of the GOP field in the South with 28 percent of the vote, compared to his national standing of 23 percent of the GOP vote, as reflected in the latest RealClearPolitics poll average.

Trump leading in the South with 28% as compared to a 23% lead nationwide. So, Trump leading in the states that actually vote Republican in general elections. Plus, I bet he's doing well in many red, Midwestern and Western states. They will try to win the nomination in states that will not vote Republican in the general election.

I've thought from the first that Jebbie and other more liberal candidates would have to rely on blue states to make them competitive and this survey agrees with that. They will try to win the nomination in states that will not vote Republican in the general election.

Attacking Trump will only make Trump’s poll numbers surge even higher.

If I was in a debate with Trump I’d ignore him and focus on my own game.

Probably true, and even more so since these nitwits have been blabbering about this publicly for several weeks.

Our whole family on both sides is for Trump and half our friends. :-)

Yep, the South is the strongest bastion of sanity that has not succumbed to political correctness and general lunacy. And there are other states with strong pockets of resistance.

He’ll carry the black vote. That he came out against latinos is strategic. Nobody has black voters backs - neither party. They have black slave owners (Jackson and Sharpton) running the plantation for Democrats.

They want to revolt. They know what’s up and they are tired of it like the rest of us.

I was walking through the mall and I saw that there was a “Muslim Book Store.” As I was wandering around taking a look, the clerk stopped me and asked if he could help me.

I asked, “Do you have a copy of Donald Trump’s book on his U.S. Immigration Policy regarding Muslims and Mexicans?”

The clerk said, “[Bleep] off, get out and stay out!”

I said, “Yes, that’s the one. Do you have it in paperback?”

Yep, they have to stop this train now, or watch it go whistling by.

I won't be Jed.

It will be an "expendable" who has been designated to hit him HARD.

Exactly right.

Trump has the mentality of an internet troll and he’s a MASTER. You cannot defeat an internet troll by attacking it. A troll can only be defeated by ignoring everything it says and using your own arguments to bring the rest of the community to your side.

I started off thinking Trump was a clown but he’s grown on me. In a shock to myself, I am coming around to the idea of a Trump/Cruz ticket.

Thank you.

There was a time when I would have snarked right back at a comment like that.

I’m trying to go snark-free lately.

(lol)

At this point, I think Jeb is "propped up" for coffin photos now.

I believe he'd win a higher percentage of the black vote than any Republican for many years. And he might well do better among Latinos than the 30% Republicans seem to be stuck on.

Probably so, but I don't think it will work. There have been so many leaks and so much blabbering about it that any attempt would infuriate many voters even more.

That should be our immigration policy for illegal entrants and visa overstayers, but we're still a long way from using that much common sense.

I hope you're right, and you could be if Trump can continue building the momentum and support.
