Can Donald Trump be stopped?
Yahoo ^ | December 2, 2015 | Dylan Stableford

Posted on 12/02/2015 9:52:57 AM PST by Cringing Negativism Network

Two months before the Iowa caucuses, Donald Trump finds himself in a familiar position: on top in the race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

According to a Quinnipiac national survey released Wednesday, Trump leads Florida Sen. Marco Rubio by 10 points, with the billionaire real estate mogul receiving 27 percent support among GOP voters. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson are tied for third at 16 percent, followed by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (5 percent), who is a distant fourth. No other candidate in the Republican field registered more than 3 percent support in the poll.

Trump’s double-digit lead combined with the inability of other GOP candidates like Bush to break through is causing panic among Republican operatives who expected the former “Celebrity Apprentice” star to stumble following his controversial comments about, well, virtually everyone.

Trump is still solidly leading, after now five months of this race.

In every state.

Despite having spent less than any other candidate.

And he has more to spend, than any other candidate.

The GOP voters like Trump. Quite a lot.

It is the GOP which is out of touch.

“Can Donald Trump be stopped?”
Yahoo and the rest of the media are doing their best to make that happen.

The media is in a blather attempting to stop him. When he beats Hillary thousands will be celebrating from the rooftops....not just in Jersey City either.

I don’t know.

Trump is the most energetic guy I have ever seen. He doesn’t drink. He doesn’t do drugs. He doesn’t smoke. And he is awake like 20 hours of every single day.

He is the definition, of high-energy, and high resources. He is for American jobs, and he is for a real border.

He’s perfect as a candidate for president. He has a (lot) of very strong support.

I believe he will be our next president.

Those who wish, might pray for the safety of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.

Some very powerful and evil people do not want either of them to become president.

Media Pinkos love to pretend that Republicans magically appear in office — as if nobody actually voted for them.

As Carson fades Trump surges. He is picking up a lot of the Carson support. Meanwhile Cruz and Rubio are duking it out for a distant 2nd. We are only 60 days out from the Iowa caucus with NH right behind. Hard to see a path to nomination for Cruz or Rubio.

Is this a trick question?

He didn’t get into the race to blow a few million dollars and lose!

Can Donald Trump be stopped?

More importantly, who are all the idiots who think a candidate with the highest level of support "needs to be stopped"?

Would it hurt to let the voters decide?

If the DC insiders, professional politicians, mass murdering cartel kingpins, and the evil MSM don’t do anything illegal, this could be the biggest landslide in American history for Trump.

This is why Yahoo is losing money and the CEO is about to be canned.

"...followed by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (5 percent), who is a distant fourth."

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Liberal writer doesn't understand (sorry for the redundancy) that when four people are ahead of Bush, that Bush is in 5th place, not 4th.

Not to mention in 5th and behind by a lot.

Now they have him! Donald Trump just did an interview on the EVIL Alex Jones Show, and the EVIL Alex Jones was falling all over himself praising Donald Trump. So now we can say that Donald Trump is obviously a EVIL TRUTHER as well as being a racist, bigoted, misogynist, Islamophobia!

whether to accept a potential nominee who many fear could stumble in a general election or to try to install an alternative, perhaps in a coup at the party convention in Cleveland that might enrage the GOP base and tear the party apart...

Can they actually do this?
