New York real-estate developer Donald Trump has dominated the Republican nomination campaign for months -- but his strongest support doesn't come from any of the organized blocs in the Republican party.
He polls well among conservative and evangelical voters, to be sure, running competitively against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) with these voters. He draws considerable support, also, from self-identified "liberal"or "moderate" Republicans. In fact, in the latest Quinnipiac poll, his biggest polling margin against his GOP rivals was among moderate and liberal Republicans.
But his strongest support comes from Republicans who used to be Democrats, according to new polling analysis by Democrat data firm Civis Analytics.
And those party-switching Americans -- if they register and turn up at the 2016 polls, especially in swing-state mid-western states -- could transform American politics in 2016.

“But his strongest support comes from Republicans who used to be Democrats, according to new polling analysis...”
OK, that makes sense!! Questen is — when will they wise up?
Bottom line, everyone is ready for a leader who will try their hardest to do what they say.
oops -— question
Trumps secret weapon—Reagan Democrats unhappy with progressive focus on Minoritys, Latino—Black— Gay— Transgendered—99% Ex-Hippies. BUT not on the working men and women! They neglected them hoping the corrupt unions would keep them in line-—That day is past! Hello President Trump.

Sorry, boys, it’s not working as well as it used to, and in five years it will be history.
No, you don't have it right. This stupid "democrats are the real racists" meme is SO tired.
The NYT is calling WHITE democrats who are waking up to the reality of racial bloc voting RACISTS, when they are finally becoming NORMAL and voting the way blacks, Hispanics, and Asians do.
All political analysis, and the enrichment of consultants, depends entirely on the permanence of the 53-47 white spilt.
But anything that can't continue, won't.
Make America great again.
I think we’re finally using their own tricks against them.
Oh Noes!
There goes Ted Cruz's chance to win the Illinois & New York primaries in a blowout...
You’re becoming them.
Well just pard the bejeezus out me for recalling that little ole democrat group KKK, how silly of me to consider those democrats real racists, not mention the ones we have now. So sorry to have added to your tiredness, you can go have your nap now, thank you so much for setting me straight.
Sarcasm? You decide.
What exactly did Jesse Ventura accomplish in his life?
Built a company?
Created private sector jobs?
Ever work outside of government?
Trump on the other hand created 100,000+ jobs
in the private sector.
Surprisingly, Rubio, Bush, Cruz, Huckabee, etc also
have also never had a private sector job.
