The resistance must be defeated.

r months, the press and the Republican establishment alike have been expecting the Trump bubble to implode. Now that it is clear Trump is not going anywhere, we are seeing stories about a long slog of a campaign or even a brokered convention. But there is a very real possibility that, far from those kinds of days of reckoning, Donald Trump could actually RUN THE TABLE. Ironically, Trump not only could win — he could win more decisively than any non-incumbent Republican contestant for the nomination since the dawn of the modern primary system.
New Hampshire
First, let us look not at Iowa, but at New Hampshire. Trump has been leading in New Hampshire by double-digits since August. If those polls are to believed, Trump is poised not only to win, but to win decisively.
Conventional wisdom is that whichever establishment-friendly candidate places second — at this point John Kasich is lined up behind Trump, but Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, and even Jeb Bush are all said to have a shot — is going to be Trumps most-viable challenger for the nomination. But if Donald Trump dominates with 30 to 40 percent of the vote in New Hampshire, and they come in 15 to 20 points behind, how is that possible?

Get back to me after super Tuesday, March 15th.
At least Trump is SAYING what we want to hear. The last two nominees not only wouldn’t say what we want to hear, one of them told us what NOT to say. Remember McCain told us not to say “Hussein”?
Or people are afraid that if Cruz gets the nomination, the Dems will step up the "he's not eligible" meme and get him disqualified. They are dirty and underhanded and it's hard to take that chance.
Historical, record breaking, primary performance?
That gives Trump every right to stand tall. Give me one solitary reason why he should not be proud of such performance!
I’d rather not hear something when that something is a lie/con/BS entertainment.
I didn’t say he shouldn’t be proud. I said it will make his head bigger. Thank God for the comb over, he can unravel it to cover the expansion.
Neither do I want to hear some rino tell me how I should think and should vote for him just because he’s a republican. And that’s the choices we had with McCain and Romney.
My nose is sore from having to pinch it so hard every two and four years. I have voted straight republican ticket for several election cycles, and what has been the result, Dole, McCain, Romney, and a host of senators and representatives who do absolutely nothing that they promised.
Trump is far from the perfect candidate, because the perfect candidate would agree with me 100 percent, but I’m willing to give him my vote. If he disappoints me, it won’t be the first time, and it won’t be the last. All I know is that the country cannot afford another 0bama term, and that is what the dems are offering, and Trump, from what I’ve seen and heard, is the only one who is willing to fight to win, and not just lose gracefully, and go home and write a book about it.
that’s a very good article
If trump disappoints me over screwing the middle class as all career politicians have done WITHOUT EXCEPTION, there will be no individual more furious than entropy12.
I can not disagree with you that Trump is a bombastic, speak his mind, no holds barred, businessman who has donated to any politician who could destroy his business.
But with $20,000,000,000,000 national debt, 94 million American adults without jobs, 45 million on food stamps, 11 million illegals in the country, ISIS still around and growing, terrorism all over the world by radical Islamists, time is long past to elect another career politician who changes with the wind, and in the pockets of his/her ultra-rich donors.
We need a leader who is not controlled by the rich donor class, and is FEARLESS to take on the media. Which is why I support Trump with all his flaws and all his strengths.
One of the things that upset me the most about Bush is that he always ‘took the high road’. As the left attacked him with outright lies, he just carried on. He refused to defend himself or to take them down a notch.
And, by extension, he was refusing to defend US - his supporters.
His silence left us out in the cold. We ended up with talk radio as our voice. Not our elected leader.
I know that it’s not the president’s job to deal with all of the media clap trap, but sheesh. Every once in awhile, it would’ve been nice to have a snarling bear in our corner.
I *want* a president who says, “These people are immoral LIARS.” How refreshing that would be.
No non-incumbent has won both the GOP's Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary since the dawn of the modern primary system. Trump has a real shot to be the first. And no recent candidate has overcome the kind of deficit most of the other candidates face in both national and state-by-state numbers at this late date, against a candidate with as strong and stable numbers as Trump has, and gone on to win.
“Trump, from what I’ve seen and heard, is the only one who is willing to fight to win, and not just lose gracefully, and go home and write a book about it.”
EXACTLY.
(had to be said again!)
