Media's Topple Trump Efforts Fail

Much like the 1960s comedy "Get Smart," GOP establishment operatives and candidates have formed their own version of "KAOS," the evil organization that continually tried to "get" Agent Maxwell Smart. Except in this case, it's many Republican traditionalists that are trying to "get" Donald Trump.

These efforts will backfire on them, as did the best attempts at mischief by KAOS in the comedy classic.

To fully comprehend how off-base the pundits and establishment consultants are about the 2016 race for the GOP presidential nomination, let's first examine a tale of two polls taken in Florida recently.

The first was conducted just before the Paris attacks by an organization I am affiliated with, OpinionSavvy, for Jacksonville's Florida-Times Union and Tampa Bay's Fox-13. The results were consistent with most surveys around the nation. Trump had a 1-point edge, with Ben Carson close behind and Marco Rubio rising quickly.

"Would you believe ... Ben Carson rising in the polls?"
"No."
"Would you believe ... Marco Rubio gaining ground?"
"No."
"Would you believe ..."

Newsest Trump "outrage":

Donald Trump under fire for mocking disabled New York Times reporter who voiced doubt over his 9/11 'cheering' claims

Looks like they're gonna try the Gimp Card this time.

“Then the bloody attacks on Paris by ISIS took place. In the aftermath of that tragedy, I was astounded to hear endless Washington-New York talking heads suggest that in light of the increasing threat of ISIS and growing international tension, GOP voters would now turn to presidential candidates “with more experience” than Trump - - “

The Uniparty establishment does not get it. The public wants nothing to do with the establishment. The policies starting with the 2nd invasion of Iraq up until now (Bush II through obama) have been disastrous and is exactly why Paris happened. The old middle east regimes kept their terrorists contained or stifled their expansion.

Just why would we want more of what Bush & obama gave us?

Trump or Cruz, offer something fresh, a new deal so to speak.

So if Donald Trump gained 18 points between when we polled pre-Paris attack and days after the tragedy, shouldn't that tell the so-called "establishment experts" something?

I said it in December of last year and as late as last month: Trump is a power that is not going away. I stand by that assessment, even as every slick TV commentator/analyst/suck-up keeps trying to argue differently.

They missed getting Trump by "that much".

I know this is getting old bug I still say absent an alien abduction Trump is the next GOP presidential nominee.

They haven’t got anyone else to throw at him, he has taken them all down...and if they think this ‘sick’ commie ads are going to do anything to take Trump down... Wrong again..all they are doing is helping Trump...

The entire "establishment" attack will fall on deaf ears and, more than likely, will create a third party that will react to the attacks - not by throwing Trump aside, but by bolting to a separate movement should he lose his bid for the GOP nomination.

Which would mean a romp for Hillary - but that would be fine, since they can "work with the opposition".
