Republicans brace for long battle against Donald Trump
CNN ^ | 12/5/2015 | MJ Lee

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%.

That is so good to hear.

The Trump team needs to know they have to come up with one of those foul weather caps with his logo on it.

Everyone up North could use them.

My extended family down there in Jackson Madison Rankin and Clinton

Are all Trump and Cruz

Cruz for ideology

Trump for brass and can do

Trump should promise one term and try for Cruz a two term starting as his VP

MY SUGGESTION

Cruz belongs on the Supreme Court.

He’s a debater and a constitutional scholar. He’s been unsuccessful as a legislator, and I do not believe he can be successful as a candidate for national office.

Yes, that brainy and gorgeous 16 year old granddaughter of mine prefers Cruz because she’s a deep thinker and book smart like him. She views Trump ‘too flippant & unserious..’ lol. My husband started reading to her at age 2 months so she’s loved books from the start. He did the same with our now 25 year old granddaughter and she flew through her University years. Such a shame she dropped out to move to Canada, but she has promised to finish “up there.” We’ll see, but she promised him...

I think I’ll write to his store, but manufacturing takes a while.

I’m surprised Trump’s store didn’t think about snow caps!

Smiling!
Thank you!
I just wanted TRUMP in the HOOD, and knew those guys liked him, but never dreamed others would order caps on their own, but they sure did!!!

Yeah, me too. I think the ball cap was a natural.
