Let’s wait two weeks and see what RCP polls show.
Right now they are:
Trump 24.3
Bush 12.5
Walker 9.5
Huckabee 6.8
Carson 5.8
Cruz 5.5
Rubio 5.3
Paul 4.5
Christie 3.5
Kasich 2.8
In two weeks my predictions are:
Trump 29.1
Walker 10.6
Bush 9.0
Carson 8.4
Cruz 8.1
Paul 5.5
Rubio 4.8
Huckabee 4.2
Christie 1.8
Kasich 1.2
One thing I see people keep worrying about where I have to disagree.
If Trump decides to run 3rd party, everyone seems to assume he’ll be handing it to Hillary.
I don’t think so.
Trump has to be pulling Democrats and Independents too. Many of them have the same attitude, sick of the lies and corruption that’s been ruining this country for at least 50 years, I think if he runs 3rd party he can win same as if he runs GOP. He’ll pull enough votes from disgruntled Americans all over he political landscape I think he might be able to pull it off.
Tonight was all about wiping Trump off the map. I don’t think it worked. But I agree with several other comments, I do wish he had brought out more specifics. He still did well enough considering he was under attack every step of the way.
