Donald Trump leads the GOP presidential field again this week, though controversial remarks about Sen. John McCain may have dented his popularity among Republicans

Donald Trump’s rise in the Republican contest for the 2016 presidential nomination doesn’t appear to have been slowed much – at least not yet – by the recent controversy over his criticisms of Arizona Sen. John McCain’s war record last weekend. In fact, although Trump’s favorable ratings among Republicans have declined, he is still ahead – and far ahead – when Republicans are asked to choose among the 16 currently announced candidates.

In last week’s poll, Donald Trump received the highest favorable ratings of any candidate from Republicans, apparently helped by his tough position on illegal immigration. This week, however, Trump’s favorable ratings dropped 11 points, and his unfavorable rating has risen 15 points.

A flash in the pan.

Trump’s lead will be gone by the end of the month.

Walker major donor called Trump names today. Trump official said he was sure Walker would do whatever it is that candidates do to make their donors get in line. Waiting for that to happen. Tick tick tick

did anyone see Bill O’Reilly interview John McCain re: this matter , last night?

Yes. BOR pulled the deceit trick and only mentioned 'not a war hero' comment leaving out seconds later Donald said he was a hero. Pathetic. Then, he gave JM an out to explain away the 'crazies' remark as just a 'joke.

Trump hit the nail while in TX. The deceivers take one part of sentence and add it to another part to avoid the truth.

Almost felt sorry for mcCANE. He looked so desperate, pathetic,fragile,and stupid. O Really handled him like one handles a dementia patient in a nursing home

Let’s all watch and see if Trump’s lead is gone. I’m guessing it won’t be.

Unless the GOPe can buy off more people.

I’ve been told that if I vote for anyone other than the republican candidate the machine will automatically register the vote as being for Hillary. /s

If I was as uneducated about American civics as these idiots, I don’t think I’d be bragging about it to the world with examples proving it. But they seem to get an almost sexual charge about humiliating themselves.

I hear the Folsom Street Fair caters to that need.

Very good detailed information about McCain’s ineptitude in the service. I did not know all those details.
