That’s my biggest concern. These fringe candidates have a tendency to steal voters from the real conservatives, allowing the GOPe candidates to get the nomination.

Sure hope he does not turn out to be the GOP nominee.

Trump’s jump into the fray has affected Marco Rubio the most, according to a CNN/ORC poll.

Poor lil Marco. Hand him some tissues.

Not as many as Bernie Sanders is stealing from Hilary.

He will disappear after the primaries — after his work is done.

How can Trump steal votes from Rubio?

They are the most opposite in the race.

Trump has a real job, not in congress, has produced real things and isn’t getting votes because of his race.

Trump is also bashing Rubio relentlessly like none of the beltway conservative pundits, Senators, Radio hosts and Governors will do.

Im thinking Trump is hurting Rubio while every other candidate is in its own orbit.

He is not stealing anyone’s votes.

But he is taking the conversation up a few notches :)

It’s obvious. He will steal the Jerry Springer vote.

P.T. Barnum has been dead for years—his voters are all Democrats now.

He’s stealing the votes of people that don’t vote ... and probably stealing a few votes from Ross Perot.

Polling is a zero-sum game

Who writes this stuff? No, it isn't a zero-sum game. There are people who will vote for Trump who wouldn't have bothered voting otherwise.

How about the other numerous “slugs” in the GOP corral rope them back in? OOps, they can’t.

One thing Trump isn’t stealing is the illegal immigrant vote.

That is about all the GOP field cares about. They sure couldn’t care less about conservative voters.

I will exempt Cruz somewhat from my scorn.

Which of his rivals in particular is this hurting?

hildabutchbitch, the skanky PIAPS puta.

There are so many low info jerk weeds roaming around with their Ipads on that have never heard of marco rubio, Ted Cruz or Scott Walker, but now know that the donald is pro America and against illegals that rape and murder American citizens {see the latest murder in kalifornicator by a 5 TIMES deported illegal that was just released from prison}.

The little chubby cuban kid from Florida just peed down his leg and jumped on the bash donald bandwagon but that probably won't turn out well for him.

The kid is bringing a pen knife to a big gun fight.

"Polling is a zero-sum game: His rise means other folks have fallen"

That's true of polling, but it's not true of voting. Getting voters off their butts and out to vote is a most important part of campaigning. Maybe it's time some enthusiasm gets injected into the race. The liberal press is apoplectic over what Trump says, but they're not saying it isn't true.

IMO....Trump has nothing to lose......and
....everything to win!

He’s not beholden to special interest groups, moneyed folks or sycophants who will tickle his ear....

He sees it as it is......tells it as it is......and doesn’t second guess or apologize.
NO WONDER folks are paying attention to him......
and liking what they see and hear.

Since not a single vote is to be cast for over a year Trump isn’t stealing any votes. And the question is bogus anyway. It assumes that someone, namely Jeb, owns republican votes without contest.

I want Trump, Cruz and Walker to become a tag-team, especially at the debates.

Speak no ill of each other but strike hard against Jeb! and the other GOPe favorites.

A pact among three hard men. An agreement to form the ticket according to polling position ... Pres/VP/a major cabinet position

No more splitting the primary votes among a large field of conservatives so the likes of Jeb! can become the nominee.
Two standing down and supporting the other to become the nominee and carry all three into office.

Trump has a great message. I just wish he could present it coherently and rationally. The US wants and needs Trump’s message but he seems unable to talk like a businessman. He is all over the place and if he cannot shape up his undisciplined speech, it will be over for him soon.

He’s not stealing anyone’s votes, he’s earning them. The other candidates should try it.
