Bang! More Republicans than ever think Donald Trump will be their partys presidential nominee next year.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 74% of Likely Republican Voters believe Trump is likely to end up as the GOP nominee, with 34% who say it is Very Likely. The overall finding is a 16-point jump from a week ago and up eight points from Trumps previous high among Republicans of 66% in early September. This is also the highest number to date who see a Trump nomination as Very Likely.
Just 23% of GOP voters say The Donald is unlikely to capture the Republican nomination, but that includes only six percent (6%) who consider it Not At All Likely. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
When Trump first announced his candidacy in mid-June, just 27% of Republicans felt his nomination was likely.
Among all likely voters, 57% say Trump is likely to be the Republican presidential nominee, with 22% who view it as Very Likely. Both these findings are also record highs since Rasmussen Reports began the weekly Trump Change survey in mid-August. Thirty-nine percent (39%) still say Trump is not likely to win the nomination, with 16% who say it is Not At All Likely.

Couldn't be more true.
I believe that's the sense most level headed Americans have right now, hence the enormous support for Trump's candidacy. Of all the candidates, he checks more of the boxes on Americans' lists of 'must have' attributes in their next president.
If we lose the coming election to a Dem or a RINO, there probably won't even be an election in 2020. I think it'll look more like a national rebellion. The good people of America will have finally concluded that every 'box' but the cartridge 'box', is now FUBAR.
Should the will of the people be thwarted again, I expect civil disobedience to become the widespread norm. Folks are just going to throw up their hands and say, 'Come And Take It!'
The Cold War ended with the fall of the Soviet Union. America immediately began to go infantile, electing Clinton. But the peculiar electoral college and US Senate kept the old America alive for a bit. When 9/11 hit, it caused no change in America’s voting patterns. Many supected then that the old American really was gone. This now is just the Weimar Republic before the open war.
That’s my take as well. Good call...
