Here’s some good news for Donald Trump fans: History is now on his side.

For months, members of the Republican Establishment have dismissed Trump’s chances at snagging the party’s presidential nomination. But he’s still ahead in the December polls, a signal that has boded well for GOP candidates in the past.

In fact, according to a 1999 Gallup poll analysis, in almost every election since 1952, the leader in the Republican polls in the fall ended up being the party’s nominee.

they may usually win, but he is not a usual candidate- he could very well unravel big time and more solidly ‘political’ candidates could take the lead-

And he could extend his lead into the upper 40% or mid 50% level.

Duh!

All we have to do to assure a Trump vistory is bar the door from the Establishment meddling and changing the outcome. i am sure they have learned from the Dems how to steal an election.

“he could very well unravel big time”

If none of the controversies have unraveled him so far, what kind of controversy do you foresee that WOULD unravel him?

Where, pray tell, do you see ANY signs of Trump “unraveling?” Where in his history has he ever unraveled? To think that he would become unglued is simply wishful thinking on your part, I guess. I do get tired of eternal pessimists. You’d declare it a dark, moonless night, in a shower of meteorites and a sky full of stars!

It's interesting...On all the issues....he's honest about them...and he has apologized for none of them. He's one of us and a realist.

How much do you think the Mexicans have saved towards the wall?

I do believe he's gonna slam the door until they say "give".

By your standard of deduction, TRUMP could also rocket out of the stratosphere, instead of just carpet bombing the entire field.

Obama is going to win since he’s going to be the world dictator.

That is a hail Mary at this point. Absent an alien abduction Trump is the GOP nominee.

Only we’re a lot better prepared and wiser by a long shot. There is NO WAY Trump is going to be robbed. He has stirred a fighting spirit that has been too long-time dormant in the American people. We have HAD ENOUGH with politics as usual.

It will be no surprise if this turns out to be the biggest landslide in modern American history for Trump.

Is that you Rich Lowery? Now why the hell would I want to vote for one of the other jackazzes that have spent all this time between Reagan and now, screwing up the country to the point of no return?

People have pronounced judgment on those jackals and want no part of them.
