A Gravis Marketing poll released on July 31st confirms that Donald Trump has become the face of the Republican Party. Sure, party insiders and pundits are still trying to distance themselves from Trump’s toxic rhetoric, but much to their chagrin, Republican voters are embracing Trump’s politics of derision and division.

Trump's popularity started going up when people realized who Mrs. Trump was. Donald Trump has nothing to do with it. His wife is all the talent.

Trump is the guy you are afraid to vote for and the guy you are afraid NOT to vote for.

More and more people are moving into his camp every day.

What is the choice really? Who else is speaking up for the interests of Americans?

He won’t bow out. He ran because he didn’t see a candidate capable of fixing the problems. Cruz ain’t there yet and won’t be in 9 months. Trump is running to win.
Maybe trump will help groom Cruz.

“Trump’s toxic rhetoric”

Thanks to the Permanent Political Class, the truth has become ‘toxic.’

Trump will become an afterthought once people realize he’s not a true conservative.

I like Donald Trump. I think he’s terrific, I think he’s brash, I think he speaks the truth.

She looks like she would glide right into the role of first lady. She looks like this is her world. Plus boy does she look like she fits the part.

I rather think of it as Donald Trump has become the face of the anti-political establishment movement.
