Pretty much explains why we haven’t been hearing a lot about Trump the past week or two. If the media “blacks him out”, his popularity may wane a bit but saying he is down and out doesn’t cut it with me. I believe Trump will continue to hold his lead for some time and eventually may just win the election. If he actually does win, it will certainly be an earned victory since he had to fight the GOP all the way.

Totally agree. I will predict something else. If zTrump doesn’t make it, that piece of crap Bush will get it. The crony capitalists will continue to feed his campaign so their globalist agenda can be advanced. The globalist crony capitalists won with Bush I, Clinton, Bush II and Obama. They fund both sides and have ZERO interest in America. Pray Trump wins. If ANY of those GOP second raters get nominated, aside from Cruz or Carson, or the Dems win again, America will never recover from Obama. We need some in office who will aggressively destroy EVERYTHING Obama has done, root and branch and Trump is best for that.

Most of Trump's numbers are a result of his name recognition, (years of being all over the news and on reality TV), the very generous media coverage, and most importantly...hitting the exact chord on illegal immigration. I was a Trump fist pumper too in the beginning listening to him bash the establishment, (I loathe Jeb), but eventually i expected he'd start to look presidential, would start to talk substance, and yet he hasn't. Trump seems incapable of MAKING THE CASE for conservatism, unlike Cruz or even Carson. I watched his interview on Stephanopolus, (sp?), yesterday, once again HOPING he'd surprise me and yet it was the same old blather. Once again he gave the dems more talking points, biggest one being that the middle east disaster we face today is due to us going into Iraq in the first place, (apparently it has nothing to do with the vacuum Obama created). Isn't that the stance of Bernie Sanders? He proudly professes and reminds us all that he was against the Iraq war. Whatever. The rest of what he said was his usual superficial crap. Interestingly he still doesn't seem like he REALLY wants this. There is just something in his tone, maybe it's something he lacks, but I just get the feeling that this might have gone farther than he is even comfortable with. For the first time he has started mentioning, "if I start doing bad in the polls...then...". This was never even something he considered or made mention of in the past. In the end I will hold my nose and vote for whoever the repub is....trump, cruz, or even...gag...bush. But if the last election has taught us anything, it's that staying home and forfeiting the election to the dems, is putting your own selfish agenda above the country. Love him or hate him, had Romney won, the world would be a much different place today, and the country would be as well.
