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.

It would be interesting to see.

Thanks for the response.

WOW!!

Go Trump, go!!

I just don’t see any candidate who can take Trump out and he isn’t going anywhere but into more free range.

I even think if the underground polling showed even the slightest chance for Romney that the GOP/Bush machine (and Ann) would have already shoved Romney in!

Thank you very much for the Ping!

Anybody know where the Trump tweets during Obama’s speech tonight can be found? Trump announced he would be tweeting.

Jane, you’re a treasure. Thank you very much!

I didn’t watch the speech, but a friend called and said that it didn’t make her crazy mad, so I presume after Black Friday wiped out gun stores of their stock that Obama got the picture and went mild in his speech.

Aint that the truth- Or McCain even-

I think Bush is going to get nasty and try to take everyone down with him when he eventually bows out not so gracefully- I hope he doesn’t- but he’s kinda indicating he might- I think Rubio and Cruz gonna pretty much concentrate on each other- at least for awhile- I think the GOP-E for a bit at least was pinning their hopes on Carson being the ‘conservative answer to obanma’ But I don’t see that happening now-

Gonna be an interesting race and time in history I think- Whoever the candidate- hopefully they win and can undo the crap we’ve had to suffer for 7 ears now-

I didn’t catch all of what was said earlier today, but it sounded to me like there was talk by the administration of enacting a NY style ‘safe act’- I tried to find it again, but couldn’t- if so He may be thinking about doing what Cuomo did- enacting gun control under the false pretense of ‘imminent need’, citing ‘growing violence’ that ‘demands action’ like Cuomo did in NY and Connecticut tried to do (not sue if they succeeded or not)

I hope dear leader did get the message, but I can’t see him compromising on anything- unless the left is really coming down hard on him for ruining their chances at reelection if he goes for something like that

Dream on...

I believe the Hildabeast was leading in the polls in '08. Look what happened there.

Democrats have different patterns than we have... they're 'unstable' in their choices - follow the herd types... If at the last minute the 'cool kids' switched sides, they follow. Remember democrats are a small number of white elites propped up by large numbers of inner city types.

dream on about what gop?
