That’s what I am hoping for, a Trump and FioRINO fade and for Ted Cruz to pick up their support. Hopefully Rubio won’t pick up any.

USnooze shouldn’t be putting Rubio in the same sentence as Cruz. Rubio isn’t even in Cruz’s league, much less be one of the last men standing.

This is the second time I have read this opinion today. The first was from Scott Rasmussen. Wonder if these opinions are genuine or just an agenda driven anybody-but-Trump narrative?

I agree that Carson and Fiorina will eventually fade but Trump, Cruz, and Rubio will be the last three standing. It’s going to be Trump/Cruz or Cruz/Rubio as the possible tickets in my estimation.

Trump's supporters are solidly behind him. He cannot fade...but he can get stronger.

In 2012, voters kept running potential candidates up the flag pole, and one by one they would fall.

They've done that again this campaign season with one major difference. Trump sits securely atop the flag pole and it is the lesser candidates who are run up the pole. And they are sliding back down one by one.

Fiorina is fading as people learn about her past
(and she makes ridiculous statements about Syria just like Hillary and McCain....the 3 stooges?)

but Trump and the doctor show no signs of fading...
the public loves them both....

As long as Fiorina and Rubio and Bush split the GOPe vote, the better it is for Trump, especially in the winner take all primaries. Trump has a floor of 20% to 25%. None of the other candidates are near polling that number.

The media has been pushing Rubio all week long. They're desperate to get the voters to back someone Hillary can beat. It's so pitifully obvious.

Speaking of Hillary, Rush just had a caller who said she drove by a Hillary appearance and there was nobody there to see her.

So Trump has dropped 7 points in 2 weeks? Not sure I understand that.

I’ve wondered if Trump’s success was due to simple name recognition. I don’t know, but he’s been growing on me a bit.

Except for Cruz the rest seem so bland and dull and stuck in a rut. No guts, no challenging Washington.

It's genuine that they very much dislike Trump from the day he announced his candidacy back in June. They wish Trump will fade, but since June, July, August, September, and now into October Trump won't fade despite the overwhelming negative media. WaPo spend most of their daily online print spewing anti-Trump stories. He's the overwhelming odds on favorite to win whole thing.

I think this is a very real possibility, that it will come down to Rubio and Cruz, and that Carson, Fiorina, and Trump will fade. My preferred candidate is Cruz.
