I honestly don't think he had a chance right out of the gate.

Obama ran against the Bush name and won 2 terms by doing so. The Bush name is toxic.

The GOPestablishment is just now seeming to realize that. They are trying to find an alternate, but they are not having much luck. Kasich never caught on. Fiorina never caught on. Carson never caught on. Rubio is sort of coasting, but when he said he was bored as a senator, he ended his political career.

The GOP have been clamoring for years for a 'bigger tent'. Well, Trump is bringing numerous factions to the tent and the GOPelites are balking and crying. Trump appeals to the blue collar works, the Hispanics and the Blacks. So, where did the GOPelites think the 'bigger tent' factions would come from? Illegals converted to legal status?

I see things playing out like this, because the media loves this kind of stuff. REmember when they were running after Hillary van?

1. Bernie Sanders is going to beat Hillary in NH and quite possibly in IOwa too, or come very very close that the media will play up.
2. Trump will be ahead in a presidential poll of New YOrkers. The media will go crazy reporting this.
3. There will be another terrorist attack on our soil before the Iowa caucuses.
4. Trump will appear soon at a rally in a football stadium with 50,000 people showing up to hear him.
5. Trump will win every primary, and will win every state in the election.
6. Bush and the rest of them will eventually coalesce around Trump, why? Because he will go to them and convince them that’s for the good of the country to do so, and he will welcome their support of him.
