Not likely. He's led now since June, in almost every poll, in almost every state. You can count maybe 10 total polls state or national where he hasn't led, and five of those were Carson's little Iowa surge six weeks ago.

Reality is, Trump will win the nomination and kick Hillary's butt.

Since you’ve been the most civil in responding, I’ll address likewise-

I agree with most of what you say- All I’m suggesting is that we must remember it’s early- supporters of all candidates USUALLY are, for lack of a better term, ‘reactionary supporters’ who like to hear “I’ll get em- believe me’- or ‘I’ll make mexico pay- believe me’- people like hearing these things- all the candidates are doing it In the early debates- and that’s why we’re seeing wild swings in poll numbers (Trumps being the exception- He’s stayed high- and I think there’s another thing at play there too- celebrity, mega rich- people are drawn to that both out of admiration, and from thinking the person must be brilliant to have made such vast amounts of money- and they may well be right- )

The rubber though has yet to meet the road- so to speak- later voters NEED to hear specifics/ plans in order to get behind a candidate- and we’re seeing people like Ted beginning to climb the more he addresses crowds with specifics-

Now, having said that- Trump may very well have specifics that will assure voters- but if we’re honest, all we’re hearing now is ‘I’ll do this- believe me’ (Yes, he’s given some specifics on different issues- but the question is are they enough-)

Up until now, He’s not had to face really tough opposition/questions about policy

As I said in my first post in this htread- He’s not a usual candidate- PERHAPS, just perhaps, that fact alone will be enough for the people of this country (Lord knows it was when the current president was elected- people knew practically nothing about him- and they just wanted ‘change’ and freebies- and please, I’m NOT comparing trump to current- I’m just trying to gauge the mood of the country- and it does seem that the country is in the mood for a brash in your face, make no apologies president like trump would be, after we’ve had to endure 7 years of a whimp who is ashamed of his own country- this sentiment may just be all that is necessary for Trump to win- I have my suspicions though- I think the closer we get to elections, them ore people will demand to know the specifics- I could be wrong)

[[Reality is, Trump will win the nomination]]

Quite possibly yes- and I’m fine with that- however, like I mentioned, The boxing gloves have not yet come off (Because candidates are keeping heir ‘trump cards’ lol, close to their chests until closer to election day)- It remains to be seen how well he fairs when they do
