....THE DONALD:

a new national poll became the latest setback for the Republican Party.

Businessman Donald Trump surged into the lead for the 2016
Republican presidential nomination, with almost twice the support of his
closest rival, just as he ignited a new controversy after making
disparaging remarks about Sen. John McCain’s Vietnam War service,
according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

While some recent national polling has shown Trump inching ahead of his
GOP rivals, the Washington Post-ABC News poll was far more dramatic: he
leads with 24% support. That’s a striking figure – in a massive field of
16 candidates, it’s tough for most candidates to even reach double
digits – that no Republican has reached in any Post/ABC polls this year.

Scott Walker is in second with 15% – that’s nine percentage points
behind Trump – followed by Jeb Bush at 12%. No other candidate reached
double digits. Indeed, there are four sitting U.S. senators running for
president – Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, and Rand Paul – and
their combined support is 19%, five points shy of Trump’s total in this
poll.

Perhaps you didn't read the details on that poll. It was started
before the gaffe and only 8% of the responses were after it.
CNN is all over that today



Yeah, I saw that. So what? My "joy" over this is not that Trump is in
the lead for the moment, because, much as I would like it, I don't see
him getting the nomination. I like it because it is causing serious
grief for the Republicans and it might well help persuade some
independent voters that the GOP is indeed in the hands of crazies,
racists, demagogues, et cetera.

Trump could be the Palin of 2016, except he's not nearly as dumb as some
of the rest of the GOP wannabes.

I'm still laughing about Jebbie's weekly gaffes. He's supposed to be the
"smart" Bush.

You really don't have to wonder...they're unintelligent, ignorant racists.

It is likely that the only reason that would be true is because of the
Electoral College system. Guys like Perot in 1992 can get almost 20%
of the popular vote, yet get zero EC votes.
In fact the last 3d party candidate to get more than one accidental EC
vote was George Wallace.


She'll bury them in the popular vote and the EC vote, though only the
latter matters. Trump would have to carry states to get any significant
number of EC votes, and if he does, those would be the states that
normally the Republican candidate would carry. What states do you think
Trump would carry?

Trump is also bragging about his friendship with the Clintons, his
donations to the Clinton Foundation and the fact that he thinks Hillary
is a class act.
