The latest poll results from Rasmussen weren't cheered by the GOP establishment, which has been holding its breath for months, hoping that the frontrunner would fade and allow someone more willing to toe the establishment's line to come to the fore.
The poll, taken last week, wasn't encouraging: 63 percent of Likely Republican Voters think Donald Trump will be the Republican Party's nominee for president (up from 59 percent the week before), while 51 percent of all likely voters agree.
Trump's claim that President Obama's decision to allow 10,000 Syrian refugees into the United States next year is the "ultimate Trojan horse" continues to resonate with voters who, according to Rasmussen, oppose Obama's decision.

If their goal is to keep Trump’s voters from voting, then they can accomplish that by shoving someone I don’t support down my throat. If Trump or Cruz are not at the top of the ticket, then for the first time in my voting life, I will sit this election out, because my doing so will not affect the outcome of the general at all. There is no way on God’s green earth that any limp-wristed GOPe lackey is going to beat Hillary, it won’t happen, because there is hardly any support for any of them, even within the Republican party, much less outside of it. They won’t win any Dem crossovers, or many independents/blacks/Hispanics - and the Dems will come out to be “part of history” to have the first woman, regardless of what a lying, scheming, self-interested, evil piece of excrement she is. Therefor, this time, if the GOPe subverts the will of their constituents to serve their own purposes, they will get a major comeuppance not just from me, I suspect, but from most of those whose back they’ll have left daggers in.
“If Trump or Cruz are not at the top of the ticket, then for the first time in my voting life, I will sit this election out”
Same here, though I’ll probably write-in Trump not just for President, but on EVERY race as a message. That actually would be fun: start a movement to write-in Trump on every ballot for every race in the event the GOPe manages to nuke Trump.
Mair is also pro-abortion, said she is not conservative and has problems with conservatives, said she might have felt better voting for pro-pot Gary Johnson over Romney, and is EXTREMELY pro-same-sex marriage (she seemingly chronicled on her blog every single time any politician anywhere voted for or supported same-sex marriage for years and showered them with praise). And as you said pro-amnesty and said she LOVES immigrants.
“In the memo Mair called the group “highly confidential” so that donors won’t be tied to the group directly. Noted Mair, “Their fingerprints will be kept off things.””
Despicable.
“Their goal is, according to the memo, to discourage Trump supporters from voting at all.â€
It has the opposite effect on me - I’m voting for Trump, even if I have to write him in. And as often as I can ;)
“I thought it was a mistake for Trump to sign a ‘loyalty pledge’, without a reciprocal pledge from the GOP.”
I thought the RNC promised to support the eventual nominee?
But it wouldn’t stop them from trying to take him out before that.
“Trump is destroying Rove.”
Did you see the 2 of them on O’Reilly last night?
Trump was in first -he blasted Rove. Then Rove went on and on about what Trump said. He really got under his skin. Even O’Reilly told Rove ‘what does it matter?’ several times.
I like it! I’ll do the same.
I’ll vote for Cruz if he’s VP to Trump but not the top spot. He’s been too silent on illegal immigration for most of the campaign. And now he’s very vague about the illegals here. I’ve escaped 2 ruined border states and don’t want the rest of the country destroyed. Cruz IS conservative, I don’t doubt. But I also don’t doubt that his policies are shaped by his donors. That’s why he needs to run with Trump.
Go back and look at the spelling; the word was DESCRIPTOR.
DESCRIPTOR: something (as a word or characteristic feature) that serves to describe or identify; a word or phrase (as an index term) used to identify an item (as a subject or document) in an information retrieval system.
‘...in an information retrieval system.’
Ah, I see - you’re a computer person. No wonder I don’t understand a word...
Sorry, I was already into middle age when the darned things came out.
Love it! Much more pointed than what I was planning. I will join you! Trump 2016!
