No, Donald Trump isn’t going away. He’s having way too much fun.
Washington Post ^ | 8/10/15 | Chris Cillizza

I think this analysis by Christine Matthews, a Republican pollster, who did survey work for former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, hits the nail on the head:

Some think Trump’s latest attack on highly regarded Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly spells the end. Most likely it does not. Trump’s supporters don’t want his run to end. His loud, angry voice amplifies feelings they have, but don’t feel are heard. That is NOT to say they are in complete agreement with what he says. He is the middle finger. He is the fist on the table. And that is what his supporters want to express to politicians right now. If he’s not there, it’s back to politics as usual which they hate. Of course he isn’t a statesman. He’s not presidential material. However, his supporters and many others have long since stopped viewing politicians as statesmen.....

These voters aren’t going away and they’re not looking for the things other voters are looking for – a plan to govern. They are looking for disruption and that’s what Trump delivers. So, regardless of what Trump says or does, these voters are going to continue to say “bring it.”

Like the article says, voters don’t want candidates with a plan to govern. Ergo, no governors.

“The polls show the more uneducated voters are going for Trump. There’s a reason why.

There’s a reason, many actually, but one of them is to weed out the elitist snobs such as yourself who are ruining this great country, and bringing common sense governance back into the political equation.
