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.

Hear! Hear!
“I believe the Hildabeast was leading in the polls in ‘08.
Look what happened there. “
This article focused on the history of REPUBLICAN primaries. It says that in the Republican party races, going back decades and decades, the December leader almost always wins.
Reportedly, the GOP intends to unite the delegates of all other candidates and use them to bludgeon Trump at convention, where the official delegate count matters, never mind the Romney Rules fixing team who are still in place, as used against Ron Paul to shut democracy down.
Horse trading, favors, intimidation and promises can fly fast and loose, but thankfully TRUMP supporters are not wobbly or to be persuaded by the GOPEEE tactics at the convention.
THAT IS, if we bother to show up and volunteer to be TRUMP delegates. If not us, who?
(btw, molly, I’m speaking not to you singularly, but broadly, to ALL Freepers.)
Is all fifty states possible?
Wouldn’t that be something?
“A couple media heads keep saying...it won’t be him...it won’t be him....”
What they really mean is “Oh God please, no, don’t let it be him......wait I don’t believe in God, what am I doing praying? I’ll start over. Please Mother Gia, preserve us from global warming and defeat Trump and lend strength our Muslim co-combatants to help us defeat those who want to free us. can I say Amen if if it isn’t a prayer?”
If I could predict the "mays" in life accurately, I'd be a rich man.
That was a dog fight in 2008. By this time, Obama was cleaning her clock.
This is barely a race at present. TRUMP is blowing out the field.
“he could very well unravel big timeâ€
Oh for about 1985 time since June 16, 2015....
We need to get ourselves in critical positions before the election. I am a precinct captain. We need sharp eyes, vigilance in the general election like we have never had before.
Volunteer in your precinct and grab hold of the idiots who think they are in charge. They will try to destroy Trump as they robbed others in the past. Vigilance is the Word.
Loving Donald Trump, is breaking all the rules...
Trump’s not taking any chances with his lead. He’s working his tail off, doing these rallies almost daily plus the talk and tv show circuits. He’s bulldozing the path to victory and he’s got a whole lotta people shoving him forward for added horsepower.
We have no perfect candidate —
We’re feeling all like fools —
Loving Donald Trump
Is breaking all the rules.
Agreed, Rita. It’s the same old story, “put your money where your mouth is.” in other words “Get active.” Get out of your cozy little nook and into what is going to be a firefight. It’s not going to count hollering “Incoming” and hiding in foxholes. Somebody has to “Man the Guns.” That somebody should be we, the “believers that America can be great again.” BTW.....our European Allies are depending on us to save the “western world.”
Thank YOU, MOLLY!! Wisest words ever!
(btw, molly, I’m speaking not to you singularly, but broadly, to ALL Freepers.)
Understood, Rita. Same for me.
Thanks, Rita. I am becoming more and more hopeful that America is finding its backbone again. We had it in WWII. Long past time to have it again. Let’s emulate our Greatest Generation. We OWE IT TO THEM.......and all our servicemen who have followed through the years to protect us and safeguard our liberty and way of life.
Chill bumps! We DO owe it to our fathers and fore fathers.
We slept and the Republic was squandered. We must redeem ourselves and take it back. With a God Send like Trump, we so needed a LEADER, we have a chance to do it.
“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-”
Praise the Lord that he is not a “usual” candidate we have had enough of them.
Unravel? He is the head of many corporations and if that hasn’t unraveled him it ain’t gonna happen.
AND we don’t need another ‘political’ candidate that’s what got us in this mess
WE NEED A LEADER that has no fear and is NOT OWNED!
