Donald Trump has jumped to the front of Republicans’ 2016 presidential candidate field nationally, holding that position even after a spate of incendiary comments by the real-estate magnate about Mexican migrants, other GOP candidates and party leaders, a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll has found.
The poll found that 19% of Republican primary voters picked Mr. Trump as their first choice for president, followed by 15% for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and 14% for Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor who led the field in the last Journal/NBC survey, in June.
The new poll, whose full results will be released Monday, was based on a survey conducted July 26-30, after Mr. Trump made widely publicized controversial statements, such as when he disparaged former GOP presidential nominee John McCain.

I love Cruz. If he’s still in the primary when it comes to my state, I’ll be out campaigning and voting for him.
However, at this time, I’m not going to be upset if Trump pulls it off. I admit that I don’t know everything about what’s going on in the nomination, but it seems that Trump and Cruz are on the same page and even friendly with each other. I figure that if Sen. Cruz trusts Trump, he’s worth a closer look for me.
I am not sure Cruz trusts Trump politically...
Cruz agrees with what Trump is saying...but Trump has been a Democrat for awhile now...Cruz doesn’t agree with those things and he disagreed with him on McCain.
BTW, are you a later voting state or one on Super Tuesday?
I don’t know what state I’m going to be in, unfortunately. At the moment, I’m just finishing a residency in New York, but I’m leaving in a month. After that, it all depends on how my resume is accepted in the rest of the lower 48 and how long I have to wait until it’s accepted somewhere.
Congrats on finishing up that work!
Good luck to you!
“Trump will fade when the novelty wears off and the shtick starts getting old.”
It’s your shtick that’s getting old, ... fast.
LOLOL.
Maybe!
