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.

I notice “Bob” didn’t hang around to defend his assertion. That says a lot right there.
? Don’t recall McCain being ahead in the polls in Dec 2007?

Did you read the article? It deals with that.
No, just read what was posted here. Not going to give Time any clicks.
Who will win the other 7?
Reality is, Trump will win the nomination and kick Hillary's butt.
So two of their favorite weapons are denied them. Plus money. He doesn't need their money. So he's pretty invulnerable.
TRUMP OR BUST
Wow...Those are yuge crowds...
Were talking yuge crowds!!!!
Someone with more time stick those together horizontally.
How does it work to volunteer as a delegate? My husband and I are ready.
Wishful thinking, BobbyBoy.
Household Six and I are volunteering for Trump up here in New Hampshire. We are impressed at the wide demographic support for him and the momentum that is building.
I am really concerned that the GOPe will do anything to screw Trump and all of America.
I totally agree and congratulate you and Household Six for “getting involved.’ Trump appeals to the Americans who love America. If enough get involved, there is absolutely NOTHING the GOPe and Dems can do about it. The time has come to oust the traitors and reverse course!
Good one! :)
Trump is most likely in the low 40’s now because as candidates drop out, Trump picks up about 30% of the secondary vote which comes to around an additional 5-6% for Trump.
When it comes down to 2-3 candidates left he’ll pick up another 5-6% which puts him in the high 40’s and maybe 50%+.
I notice now that Cruz is attempting to become a Trump knock off. Whatever Trump says, Cruz says. The problem with that is that no one can imitate Trump and that is what sells.
See you at the top President Trump!
You want to talk bulldozers? Trump is 10 million strong on social media. This has been very effective in neutralizing the media’s impact.
Did you notice how the handicapped reporter stories have evaporated? How about the accusations that there weren’t muzzies celebrating on 9-11? Those two stories so prominent a few days ago are now as if they never existed. That comes as a result of Trump’s social media canon.
The media is simply muted, gelded and neutralized. They are simply not effective against Trump. Whatever lies come out against Trump, the Trump juggernaut informs his subscribers of the truth within seconds after the stories break. That is a huge amount of power.
Trump’s twitter account has added 670,000 subscribers to twitter since the first democrat debate. He is adding 10,000 subscribers or more per day. By next February he will be close to 7 million subscribers on twitter and over 6 million on Facebook. That totals around 13 million and with re-tweets we are looking at 26-39 million getting Trumps messages daily. No other candidate can even come remotely close to this kind of growth. Trump supporters know what to say and do whenever something negative appears within minutes.
The media simply cannot compete against that kind of critical mass. That is one of the reasons Trump is winning and pulling away.

On primary voting day in your state and after the polls close at 7:00 PM, you will attend your neighborhood precinct meeting, usually announced on the door signage at your voting location, and usually always in the same building.
For example we vote in school houses here, so after 7 PM, a room or gym, or cafeteria is available and set up for the precinct meeting.
At your precinct meeting you will get to vote on a few things, like electing a chairman for your precinct, (maybe you want to nominate your spouse), and you will hear when your county convention is scheduled.
Volunteer to be a delegate to your county convention. Then the slate of volunteers is voted on for the certain number allowed for your precinct.
At the county convention you will develop amendments for your state convention platform and vote on different motions, and also hear the details for your state convention.
AT the county convention you can volunteer to be a district delegate to your state convention (3 days) and this slate of volunteers will then be voted on.
At STATE convention you can be sent to the National Republican Convention as a state delegate, or alternate delegate (who shares the floor time with the delegate).
Expenses are for travel, special room rates at a nice hotel and meals.
Call your county Republican Party office if you have questions, and you can look up county, state and national convention details on the internet, I bet.
Good luck!!
