Don’t you think that if this Trump movement continues to grow and he’s the Nominee he’ll have COATTAILS?
I personally think when he’s the Nominee and the polls show a building-R-tsunami, and Trump is being heralded by previously very unlikely Republican voters, those running for “R”seats will hang onto his coattails for dear life.
All depends on how long Trump wants to stay in the race for republican nomination. If the others gang up on him, expect 3rd party run. I am sure the first debate will give us lot of clues about the future of this race.
But of course, you are correct, if Trump keeps his poll dominance through half a dozen primary elections, his coat tails will get real crowded.
