Peak Trump?
(*ducks!*)
If I were Trump, I’d refuse any further debates and continue as much as possible with personal appearances. He doesn’t need to continually appear on stage with a majority of GOP losers. He can tour with Cruz, he can follow up wherever that b!tch Hillary goes...Lots of things he can do. Deigning to let the MSM and ankle-biting also ran GOP shills have another shot at him isn’t one of them.
Holiday season.
Hope springs eternal.
Trump, Cruz or Hillary.
Yea, encourage him to do that.
Why would anyone listen to a dumbass country boy?
It is too bad that this obsessive polling influences people prone to the “inevitability” strategy vote. Though it is funny in the sense that the GOPe has used that strategy argument — “we must unify around the frontrunner early in order to defeat the Democrats” — and now they must eat their own words.
It is foolish, though, for people to fall for it. It robs the republic of its brain. Primaries are for conscience voting even more than general elections.
We need to set a national ban on allowing Democrats or anyone other than Republicans to vote in primaries.
Expect that to massively change. Hard to tell who made the worst mistake. The GOPe for passing this massive Budget Bill or the Rubio for ducking the vote on it in the Seante.
Trump is killing it on this issue
This is what LEADERSHIP looks like.

DONALD J. TRUMP STATEMENT ON BUDGET DEAL
(New York, NY) December 17, 2015 “If anyone needed more evidence of why the American people are suffering at the hands of their own government, look no further than the budget deal announced by Speaker Ryan. In order to avoid a government shutdown, a cowardly threat from an incompetent President, the elected Republicans in Congress threw in the towel and showed absolutely no budget discipline.
The American people will have to absorb higher deficits, greater debt, less economic liberty and more corporate welfare. Congress cannot seem to help itself in bending to every whim of special interests. How can they face their constituents when they continue to burden our children and grandchildren with debts they will never be able to repay? Our government is failing us, so we must do something about it. Who knows how bad things will be when the next administration comes in and has to pick up the pieces?
The only special interest not being served by our government is the American people. It is time we imposed budget discipline by holding the line on spending, getting rid of waste, fraud and abuse, and by taking on our debt. To do these things, we need a President who can lead the fight to hold Congress and the rest of government accountable. Together, we can Make America Great Again.
Yeah, right, ok.
Small shifts within the margin of error and with still 10+ contenders?
I like Trumps judge of character. Jeb is a sore loser. Cruz is going up and the media is in a frenzy over the semantics he used while discussing a Senate procedure he instigated.
Cruz is being well covered and the more they pound him on it, the more he solidifies his message on immigration and amnesty.
Rubio has well established his desire for amnesty. He has no walking back room.
No, I do not think so. These are only likely Republican voters, and anything over 51% is good.
He has attracted millions of dissatisfied Democrats and Independents. People who are elderly, AND who have never voted, are registering Republican so they can vote for Trump. These people are not yet counted or, probably, polled.
Go look at videos of his Mesa, AZ, rally held on Dec.16th. There were 15,000 people there, and it was held in an airplane hangar! You can bet that not all of them were Republicans. Good source at:

Not at all. Normal ebb and flow of the campaign. Trump was subjected to 3 days straight of Cruz is surging stories from the release of the DMR poll to the debate. He then weathered an onslaught from Rush and then Levin on Monday, who somehow thinks it’s okay for him to savage everybody but when his boy Cruz gets hit by Trump it’s not okay. The majority of voters are stupid and ebb and flow based on what they hear. Trump will bump back up for the next survey. Give the budget deal some time to sink in and let Trump beat it up for several days. Notice none of the establishment RINOs had anything to say about it, and they even dug up Willard to spray some more dirt around. And as usual, Ted follows Trump’s lead and issues a statement today. Make America Great Again!
Rush today did a whole show on the budget concluding that the Rinos don’t care anymore about keeping the base believing they can pull democrats as their new constituency.
I fully expect him to suspend his campaign now.
This is the “believe he will win” vs. “plan to vote for him.” Anyway, the level at which he is “treading” is 10-20 points ahead of everyone else in every other poll since the DRM poll-—Two exceptions: in PPP IA Trump was up 3, and in one other IA poll (Q?) he was up 5.
As we know, Global Warming, Peak Oil and Peak Trump have all been disasters. Might as well.
Those are who will get him nominated.

Republican US presidential front-runner Donald Trump is apparently "honored" that Russian President Vladimir Putin considers the real-estate magnate a "flamboyant" and "very talented" man.
"It is always a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond," Trump said in a statement, according to Politico.
He continued: "I have always felt that Russia and the United States should be able to work well with each other towards defeating terrorism and restoring world peace, not to mention trade and all of the other benefits derived from mutual respect."
