Trump's numbers are better than anyone else's.

When the field of Cruz, Walker, Rubio, Jindal, Huckabee, et al.--when some of those candidates start to drop out, where will their supporters go? I don't think Trump will get the majority of them. And so the numbers for the remaining non-Trump candidate(s) will likely rise accordingly.

Further, you need do nothing more than compare number of Trump as opposed to Cruz threads, number of responses, and number of favorable vs. unfavorable posts to see which way the FR winds are blowing.

Looking back, I could say the same thing in regard to threads and posts about President Palin or President Gingrich.

I can't think of many cases where supporters, deprived of their first choice, coalesce around another underdog in a decisive fashion.

Which says nothing to invalidate my point about the FR winds....
