Despite - or maybe because of - the controversies swirling around him,
Donald Trump continues to hold the loyalties of about 1 in 5 Republican
voters, according to two new polls that show him still in the top
position in the field of GOP presidential hopefuls.

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll released Monday afternoon showed Trump with 24%
of the GOP vote -- the same level he had before Thursday's first
Republican debate. That's roughly the same level of support Trump got in
an online poll for NBC conducted by Survey Monkey, the Internet survey
company.

That really translates to about 10% of the voting population and not
likely to rise much as the other candidates drop out.. If it wasn't
such a ratings getter, the networks would blow it off as what it is,
people who are simply disgusted with the whole political process.



For at least the 10th time, that it "translates to about 10% of the
voting population," and all your other "take-aways" about what you think
is insigificant, doesn't matter. I don't expect Trump to get the
nomination, but for sure it would please me if he did. What matters is
that Trump, Huckabee, Cruz, Rubio, et al, are playing to the far right,
their "efforts" are being videotaped, they are hurting the GOP's chances
in the general, et cetera, and I don't think the lackluster,
foot-in-mouth performances of Jeb are going to enable him to pull the
party's ashes out of the fire.

.... and the majority of Americans polled think Hillary is
untrustworthy so we are really ****ed aren't we?
