Welcome to FR.
The crowds are great, but they are as much Rats as Pubs. Trump will not unify the Pub party. He's too crude, crass and boorish. He has personally insulted his opponents and as a result a larger than expected number of Pubs will stay home. Trump is bringing in lifelong Rats, but I don't think their numbers will off set the Pubs who don't vote and the higher turnout for the Rats.

Thanks for the welcome, been Freepin around since the late 90’s. And I’m right of Rush, but a realist.
I disagree with your analysis.
Trump is leading in every demographic in primary voting. And at this point he is the only candidate capable of pulling off the nomination and bringing in more than just conservative voters.
Unfortunately it’s a complete myth, pushed by Rush, that a candidate can win the presidency with just conservative voters, demographics have changed.The reason Cruz is not leading is because Trump is beating him with conservatives.
Really the only choice in stopping Hillary is Trump. Hillary known, Trump a risk, but well worth it, when you consider the alternative is 8 years of Clinton.
