Donald Trump, defying skeptics and overcoming an avalanche of mockery from establishment Republicans, has extended his streak as the party's presidential frontrunner for almost five months.
With the Iowa caucuses less than two months away, Republican leaders are growing deeply alarmed by Trump's resilience. Anxious that his lead may not fade before the voting starts, GOP strategists have begun to brace for a long and painful nomination fight, with Trump's opponents hoping to grind him down over a period of months.
In a new CNN/ORC poll released Friday, Trump leads the GOP field of White House hopefuls at 36% -- his broadest support this cycle. In a distant second place is Ted Cruz at 16%, giving Trump his widest lead this year, followed by Ben Carson at 14% and Marco Rubio at 12%. Just two days before, a Quinnipiac University poll showed Trump on top at 27%, followed by Rubio at 17% and Carson and Cruz tied at 16%.

May God bless Trump and keep him safe!!
Long battle? It is very likely going to be over after March 15th.
>>The GOPe better keep “growing deeply alarmed by Trump’s resilience!”
I’m coining a new phrase to describe their situation:
TRUMPROLLED
Conservatives Too!
As the opposition party, the only thing the Republicans oppose are Conservatives.
They had a long battle against Reagan too and that didn’t work out too well.
Agreed. The only battle the GOP is going to wage is in which one will have the biggest white flag so as to surrender to Trump.
There will be no battle. The republicans will fold to Trump’s will in a New York minute.
GOPe is dead.
Where were these "deeply alarmed" establishment Republicans?
What were the "establishment" Republican candidates doing today?
They have a LOT to worry about.....I just converted another Millennial to vote for Trump tonight and I promise all of you that he shan’t be the last one ! :-)
Because they don't get it.
They simply cannot comprehend that Trump is actually representing the people and they are not.
They are deceived beyond hope if they don't understand why he's so popular.
Yes and with bells on. :-)
This crap cracks me up. The lib media telling Trump supporters that the enemy is their own side. And people eat it up.
This election has the scent of 1980 all over it.
the enemy of my enemy is a friend
my best friend who always vote Democrat is excited about Trump. my wife had a customer in her store tonight who said he’s always been a Democrat he’s voting Trump
Good!
they’ve had no stomache to fight the far left wing worst presiudent in US history and his minions but they’ll fight Trump to the bitter end. Shows you who they are. Liberals.
