Donald Trump is looking increasingly likely to win the Republican nomination in 2016 â and it may not even be close.
Four months after being widely dismissed as a celebrity candidate who would wither under scrutiny, Trump isnât just defying political gravity. Heâs powering past it as he expands his leads in both national polls and critical early voting states.
A new Reuters poll conducted mostly after the November 13 attacks in Paris found Trump with more than double the support of his nearest rival nationally, taking 36 percent of Republican primary voters to Ben Carsonâs 14.6 percent. A Morning Consult poll released Tuesday showed the billionaire with an even loftier lead, polling 38 percent to Carsonâs 19 percent as Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz languished in the single digits.
A University of Massachusetts survey released Monday shows a closer contest â but Donald Trump still manages to outpoll the fading Ben Carson by nine points.

Deace discusses that at the end of his article. Ultimately I think the only conclusion is that a V.P. just doesn’t sway people much. They vote for or against the top of the ticket.

I suspect they won’t do that but will play it safe and try to undermine Trump’s campaign from the inside so that Hillary wins. Like when McCain’s advisors fed negative stories about Palin to the press. Then later on they start appearing on TV and we can see they’re so RINO they’re indistinguishable from a Democrat.
Trump’s real problem would be how much GOP party support does he accept and how much does he try to use his own insiders. He’s indicated he wants to use the GOP’s money to fund his campaign in the general, not his own. That will be a problem and he will probably expose his campaign’s inner workings to more trojan RINOs that way.
We'll see; won't we!
Your remembering circuits are not quite firing on all cylinders...
"Drag a hundred-dollar bill through a trailer park, you never know what you'll find."
Great analogy.
Thanks for the ping!
Nobody cares what you think or the lies you tell.
