CINCINNATI -- 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 one-point edge, with Ben Carson close behind and Marco Rubio rising quickly.
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; prima facie evidence that these analysts are totally out of touch with the rest of the nation.
Also after the Paris attacks, Florida Atlantic University released a poll showing Trump up by 17 points in Florida. They do fine work and so I take their poll as an obvious example of how, once again, the pundits got it wrong in a big way. If you doubt that conclusion, just consider the many national surveys and polls in various important GOP contest states, where Trump rose substantially post-Paris.

GO Trump/Cruz!
Trump is the only candidate capable of grabbing the middle without losing the right.

Coming from the same set of failed, insulated and arrogant “Beltway Bandits” who have launched a thousand sinking ships, this would be no surprise.

Just because they are backed by BILLIONS, doesn’t make them smart, just evil.
So do I, he says it like it is about the GOPe. :-)
If they try it, it could backfire and make Trump look like the underdog. Americans typically like the underdog (except Carolina tomorrow against America’s team).
If that happens, by January, Trump numbers might ‘sink’ into the 40’s or 50’s or 60’s. That would really tick off the GOP establishment and the media.
“doesn’t make them smart, just evil.”
Nailed it, my FRiend.
The Donald is not only Teflon, but Teflon bonded to a substrate of titanium.
And you thought armor plate was something.
The Donald has taken the slings and arrows, and just keeps on cruising the skies, broadcasting his message on fertile ground.
And it is taking root.
Not only will it backfire, President Trump won’t forget the names of these Judas’s.
It about the illegal alien inundation and the people’s determination to elect a President who will stop it.
The Cheap Labor Express has been actively thwarting the citizens for years, people recognize it now.
Americans typically like the underdog (except Carolina tomorrow against America’s team).
However, in this case Maxwell Smart is being portrayed by the entire GOP-e. Does the term ‘dumb as a stump’ ring a bell. When will they ever learn; when will they learn?
GO TRUMP! GO CRUZ! ~ YOU WIN OR WE LOSE!!
Agreed, people are finally getting fed up with illegal aliens and the pathetic politicians that support them.
I didn’t know the New York Yankees were playing Carolina tomorrow.
In a 1978 NFL highlight film, the narrator dubbed the Cowboys America’s team. Fast forward twenty years, and the Cowboys sold more merchandise through NFL properties than all the other teams in the league combined. It was a legitimate title then and even today, after years of not making the playoffs, Dallas is still a ratings booster whenever they play.
Just kidding ya know. Happy Thanksgiving!
