Donald Trump is looking increasingly likely to win the Republican nomination in 2016 – and it may not even be close.
Four months after being widely dismissed as a celebrity candidate who would wither under scrutiny, Trump isn’t just defying political gravity. He’s powering past it as he expands his leads in both national polls and critical early voting states.
A new Reuters poll conducted mostly after the November 13 attacks in Paris found Trump with more than double the support of his nearest rival nationally, taking 36 percent of Republican primary voters to Ben Carson’s 14.6 percent. A Morning Consult poll released Tuesday showed the billionaire with an even loftier lead, polling 38 percent to Carson’s 19 percent as Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz languished in the single digits.
A University of Massachusetts survey released Monday shows a closer contest – but Donald Trump still manages to outpoll the fading Ben Carson by nine points.

Goofiest post I have read lately. Truly kooky.
LOL
But I took the trouble to teach myself how to link. Claims I make here, such as the fact that Cruz was on top of the Syrian refugee thing and Trump followed, I can link to news stories that confirm it and will do so if asked.
Where do you see me arguing that Trump voted for Obama in '12 or that he didn't give money and support to the functional leftist Democrat Mitt Romney?
You originally accused me of "projection" along the lines of someone who posts to those of us who are skeptical of Trump, Medication can be taken for TDS.
But this discussion is becoming about me and you, when it's really about Trump and Cruz.
The non-Trump supporters post lies? I personally witnessed your lying multiple times on multiple threads about Carson. It was disgusting. I’m not even a Carson supporter and was horrified at the vileness of your posts. Now you are claiming others are liars, but you are not.
Please. How much are you getting paid or are you just a fanatic that makes up BS as he goes to disrupt? I generally roll my eyes at posters that claim other posters are not Conservative, but behaving as you do is certainly not a Conservative value, imo.
Medved, like other GOP ^conservative^ pundits, are OK with anybody whose name is not Trump. Only reason to support Carson now is to take down Trump. Carson will be much easier to take down later by Rubio/Bush/FioRrino/Chritie etc. These pundits have morbid fear of outsiders.
Please go read the post I first replied to with the post of mine that he is taking umbrage with now.
Has anyone seen a poll showing how many democrats would consider voting for Trump?
Do you know your post number by any chance? I will read it. Just do not want to search this whole thread, it is long.
Be specific. WHAT was I guilty of that I claimed someone else was doing?
If you mean not including links to sources, say so, and I will be happy to provide them to a point -- but as I am responsible for informing myself, you should do the same to see if what I say is true or not. I don't swallow every claim people make about Cruz OR Trump, I do searching online to confirm it or prove it false on my own. You should do the same.
I suggest you take responsibility for your own level of knowledge and refrain from asking others to do your work for you. Why should I invest all the time it takes go google and/or go back in posts to find old links to prove things that you could prove or deny yourself?
Again, this discussion is now becoming about me and your empty accusation that I am somehow "projecting" the same flaws and faults of angry-toned insulting Trump supporters. So I will leave it in your court and proceed to more interesting discussion.
I am so tired of this “Derangement Syndrome” meme. The moment I see a poster post TDS, PDS, CDS, or any DS, I know they have lost the argument and skip on to the next post. You will get more traction by posting reasoned arguments than childish memes.
I do the same with “concern troll”. I know the poster isn’t worth reading and go on without finishing the rest of the post.
Just some friendly advice. Whether you choose to take it is certainly up to you.
Now that was an intelligent, reasoned post. You are impressive. /sarc
At least 3o different people, through the years, have tried to teach me how to CCP. The ONLY time I ever managed to do it, I followed directions written on a sheet of paper, which I have now misplaced/lost. Which is a whole LOT different from what you claim ( doing paper work ) you have a mental block against...which is NOT the same thing at all.
Cruz doesn't even entire into the topic of this thread; it's about how Trump could win the Republic nomination in a blowout"! So yes, by all means, lets stick to the topic!
“Trump announced another fascist mind-fart today”
GeronL just posted another fascist mindless fart here today.
I have NEVER once posted a "lie" about Carson!
And I'm more CONSERVATIVE" than you'll ever be and I bet for longer.
Trump didn't support, give money to, nor vote for Obama in '12!
He was also Pro-Reagan !
You have problems. Pity that....
He stated that the other poster ".....is making Trump look bad" by his behavior.
Puerile. Next?
You need to take responsibility for what you say.
*Sigh* Can you pull anything that WASN’T 7+ years ago?
I believe it due to his history? The man is not a Conservative and loved the Clintons and their presidency. He made a ton of money while Bill was POTUS.
Banal and inane, irrelevant post.
I responded in post #115 that "The behavior of a candidate's supporters speaks volumes about the candidate," and told the original poster that he was making Trump look bad.
You came back in post #122 saying "That's some projection complex you have, pity that ..."
I now ask you AGAIN to be specific in what you meant by that, as I take special care not to indulge in personal insult such as in the original post. If you mean that I have posted something there that makes Cruz look bad -- again, surely you can be specific?
But at this point, it will be a waste of your time as I will skip the post. :^)
