As a Southerner myself, I have noticed that you need to be careful around Southerners who have “progressed” beyond their Southern roots. They have a tendency to over-correct and end up in the ditch.

The "progressive Southerner" was the subject of a neighborly jaw session fueled by bourbon. The neighbor speculated that those "SProgs" have Carpetbagger roots, either direct or through marriage. Only conclusions to which we arrived were, that it was possible, we needed better bourbon, and more of it.

Jeb has two sources of support:

1) Big money crony interests (but low numbers of votes)

2) Democrats working to elect the softest target for the November race.

#2 may be in trouble as Hillary stumbles and the possibility of contested Dem primaries increases.

Nativism is racist, of course.

Does the GOPe realize there are a lot of blacks, hispanics, asians, etc. who want to see the illegals deported? I think they do, but are beholden to the cheap labor lobby. Go Trump!

I can’t help but laugh at Karl Rove and his whiteboard on FoxNews telling us ...but, but, but look at Trumps unfavorable.

They have all lost control of the narrative - Republican, Democrat, Media.

All are ascared for their jobs so they turn up the volume on their deceit to 11 and it just makes more folks walk away. “I did all I could $boss$”, “It’s Trump’s and his vapid supporter’s fault”

It's appropriate to mention the sample size, method...and observe the trend.

Friday's results in the online rolling opinion poll are based on a survey of 501 Republicans and have a credibility interval of plus or minus 5 percent.

The trend is Trump +8 in a week.

Everyone knows Trumps is going to pull out and hand the race over to Hillary.;-)
I thought he was going to give it to Cruz because Cruz is the most conservative candidate that's ever walked the earth...but not capable of winning on his own.

And if the Trump/Cruz (Or even the impossible Cruz/Trump) wet dream came true, who will the Cruz loving Trump haters vote for?

It’s all propaganda designed to convince us to give up our country without a fight.

In my opinion, there are huge reserves of abiotic Trump support.

I did. Gotta have skin in the game.
I gave to Dole and McCain, but not to Romney.

Why WOULDN’T I give to the campaign that’s actually giong to accomplish something?
