It’s like the media is living in Groundhog Day.
With all the date changes on Trump’s tombstone it’s going to be taller than the Trump Towers ;)
Tomorrow Trump will start to talk to Floridians about Tropical Storm Erika, and set off two weeks’ worth of narrative. Then he will sweep FL’s polls.
They are! At least Bill Murray started trying something different after a few days.
Personally, I think Cruz is in trouble. I don’t know what his monetary situation is, but I don’t see him “out and about” much. It’s all Jeb and Trump. Cruz - from my high vantage point - needs to think bigger. He picks his fights and goes all in (his recent crusade re: planned parenthood) but he seems to get bogged down in “one thing at a time”. He needs to get out there more. I don’t know a single “moderate” that would be willing to vote for Cruz. If it’s him, they’ll stay home or go Dem.
But I know many Democrats and Moderates that would vote Trump. These are 2 time Obama voters that would run from Clinton to vote Trump.
It’ll be fun to watch.
So if Bush was leading in the polls, would Zogby be saying that he would be running out of gas?
I believe Zogby's statement is akin to telling the farmer who desperately needs rain not to worry, "rain will be occurring and soon." Say whatever is necessary to keep their hopes alive.
It may well be that it is already OVER and Trump wins the nomination and the Presidency in a "blowout."
I'm so tired of all the TALK and NO ACTION candidates that I'd be more than willing to give Trump a try.
Fogbee? I have no use for an Islamic terrorist sympathizer.
It IS already over. All that’s left is how much of the Left are Trump and Cruz going to grind into fine dust never to write, speak or pundit again. The destructive blanket of deception and oppression the MenSeekingMen have cast over the nation is about to be burnt to ash.

I agree and his kids don’t come off as flashy either.
Hasn’t he already run out of gas several times, according to all the “wise men”?
Zogby, as with the other "experts", completely misses the point, methinks intentionally.
Trump can be crude, flamboyant - and outrageous, but the thing is, warts and all, he has touched on a wellspring of bottled up rage against the direction this country is being taken.
Well, not quite nothing, remember he likes to spice up his polls with his very own Zogby sauce.

We shall see.
Trump is burning pretty bright and it is likely for a flame-out. But this is not a guarantee. It’s based on past performance of others, and fundamental physics. You consume all the fuel you have there is nothing left.
However, the voting public is pretty angry and that is the fuel that nitwits like Zogby can’t estimate. They don’t think that there is that much fuel for the fire to continue.
It’s clear that the public at large is very, very, angry, and basic platitudes and attempts to dissuade using charges of racism, bigotry etc, are not going to work. They want the illegals removed. They want the criminality of the bureaucrats and even politicians like Hillary punished. Every time it gets swept under the rug, the anger grows.
Trump is just the vessel. He’s not the most idologicaly pure candidate, and for him to continue he doesn’t need to be. He is standing his ground, not cowering before the mediots like Ramos, or the other leftard “activists”. People respect that he’s his own man, and a man’s man.
How long it goes for is anyone’s guess. Could be up next week, next month, next year, 5 years, 10 years.
If we assume that Trump were elected, and has done what he said he would do, that the public’s tolerance for him will wane over time as their immediate needs had been satisfied.
Right now, nobody in government is doing the public’s will, they are working their own agenda, the public be damned.
If the GOPe wants to dispatch Trump, start doing what they were elected to do. Oppose Obama, defund Obamacare, deal with the illegal aliens by deportation, the black crime by punishment, the poor economy, high taxes, the IRS abuse, the EPA, Hillary, Huma, etc.
Trump would be nowhere in sight if they had actually done what the public wanted, and not been so afraid of the media, activist pressure, and stopped bootlicking their “donors” who are not the last word.
“The war will be over by Christmas.”
“This ship is unsinkable.”
“Trust me.”
Zogby ran out of gas years ago.
“I am not convinced that Trump is the conservative lion people on FR are making him out to be.”
He isn’t. He is an inconsistently mixed ticked of positions and opinions, like most voters. What makes him stand out is that he is correct on some things, as opposed to none, and he projects a rankled irritation and determination to set basic things back to right in America. We have not really had that in the White House since January 20, 1989, the day the Reagan Revolution was betrayed.
Trump isn’t perfect. But he’ll do, especially when set against what we have had.
