DONALD TRUMP RISES TO ‘POSITION OF TOTAL DOMINANCE’

[Liberal_in_LA]

Donald Trump’s rise to a position of total dominance in the Republican presidential field has been accompanied by a dismissive snort from Beltway mandarins that Trump is merely a “fringe” candidate. The idea, in essence, is that Trump has a strong but narrow appeal to a group of mouth-breathing xenophobes and practically nobody else.

But a new Bloomberg Politics poll of Republican and Republican-leaning voters demolishes this claim. Trump not only laps the competition—he has twice the support of the second-place candidate, Jeb Bush (21 percent to 10 percent)—but he also leads among every demographic subgroup, but one (self-identified “moderates”).

Let’s break it down. Trump leads with male voters (Trump 24 percent, Bush 11 percent, Walker 10 percent) and female voters (Trump 18 percent, Bush 10 percent, Huckabee 10 percent). He leads with voters younger than 45 (Trump 15 percent, Bush 10 percent, Rubio and Paul at 9 percent) and voters older than 45 (Trump 25 percent, Bush 11 percent, Walker 9 percent) and seniors (Trump 23 percent, Bush 14 percent, Walker 9 percent).o

1. And if he wins...

So here's a thought... what happens if he wins?
One has to assume he's smart enough to realize he has no hope of actually being able to run the country.

3. His ego is boundless. I'm sure he's convinced he'd be the best president ever.

4. He wont need too

He is just arrogant enough to say, thats what I have a cabinet, and assistants, and .......etc to help......

9. If he wins,all the other countries will laugh.

and if he wins, he will just go on and insult all the other world leaders and give out their phone numbers.

cant you see him picking his cabinet in the same way he picks those buffoons on 'Celebrity Apprentice'

2. At this stage, nobody has total dominance.

21% in a field of 17 choices is hardly an insurmountable position.

As the also ran's drop out, where will their voters go? If, for instance, Rubio drops out, do his voters go to t-rump, bush or walker? If a majority of them go to one of t-rump's top rivals, the gap closes fast.

If t-rump had 40% of the voters, that would be dominance.

5. Trump not only laps the competition

he has twice the support of the second-place candidate, Jeb! Bush (21 percent to 10 percent)

That one line, right there says so much to me on so many levels. More than than I have time for, right now, to sort out or put to page.

It also goes a long ways toward bolstering my long held opinions concerning the wilful and intentional ignorance, outright stupidity and extremely fragile grasp of reality so very many repub voters so proudly exhibit.

6. Part of Trumps success is due to the fact that there are no good Republican

candidates. Anyone dumb enough to push the Republican agenda has no chance of having wide support in the general election.
Trump recognized that no one with any appeal was even running. Trump will be a shoe in for the nomination.

7. There is something seriously wrong with this country

That something like that is even possible.

8. "mouth-breathing xenophobes"

This is a rather amusing article. "Mouth-breathing xenophobes" pretty much describes what the GOP base is now. Well, that plus racists plus billionaires. The description of Trump having "narrow appeal" is actually correct because the GOP base itself is a very narrow slice of the nation. In other words, even if Trump were to get 100% of the GOP base, he'd still be nowhere.

10. Breitbart dead.....but his shitty website lives on....

[Bonhomme Richard]

11. My only question is how Donald will bow out of the race.

And he will.
