What happened to "peak Trump?"

It should be obvious to all now that those being polled are giving a huge "up yours" to the establishment. The establishment is hell-bent on ramming Jeb Bush down our throats, and an overwhelming majority is having none of that. America is pissed off.

I wonder if there will be yard signs.

It's going to be leaving the building soon I think. Rand Paul says Trump is a Fake Conservative. He's been all over the place, he's for something then against it. He has no consistent philosophy, says whatever he feels like at the moment.

I think Rand is right about that.

I'd be a little suspect of that poll.
It was conducted online. It leaves out people who don't use a computer, of which there are many.

Once I prayed that Sarah Palin would be the nominee! NO LONGER!

It just keeps getting more better and more better!

Trump may look good until you compare him with the real competition.

Fact: Sarah Palin is smarter than 100% of the Democrats and 99% of the Republicans in Washington.

That's the problem and the reason Trump has to go.
If you think Obama's bad, wait until you get her.

Trump now leads in Iowa and New Hampshire.

If he wins both, it may be all over.

Tell me how, if Trump becomes the nominee, he's not the most equipped Republican to beat Hillary.

Because to be the prez you have to have the independents vote for you. They are the largest voting group. And I don't think a loose cannon like Trump appeals to them. But, I haven't seen a poll yet.

Think about all the people who grow internet muscles and go out on social media to insult total strangers who have opinions they do not agree with. I can see Trump being a hero to them.

But we are dealing with Donald Trump. I'm not totally convinced he's not doing this just for the attention and at some point between now and the convention he will drop out. Which will be the ultimate finger to our political process and just adds to his legend.

Independents are people that for whatever reason, shun and dislike both parties.

Trump is the hero of these people.

The independents I know, who are mostly women, agree that Trump is a world class jerk who has no business in the White House.

I asked that because a large swath of moderates are liberal people that don't wish to admit they're liberal people.

Trump, for better or worse..effectively IS an Independent.

Can't speak for your friends, but Hillary is the one I have a hard time picturing getting any independent or "moderate" voters.
