Okay, I'm officially in an alternate universe now

Trump tops CNN poll of 2016 Republicans, says he leads 'movement'

I can only hope he wins the primaries, so he'll get splattered in the general election.

God help us if he somehow picks off the general election (though I can't really see how).

Let's face it. The GOP was pretty dirty and diabolical for decades but they went plumb nutty since Obama was elected twice.

e.g., Jindal, Perry, Carson and a few more, either Trump's numbers will go up more or, Bush and Walker's will. I suspect Bush's numbers to go up, Trump's to go down as the fear of the Donald getting the nomination goes through the GOP establishment.

I wonder what the opposition research for the other candidates is coming up with about him. So far, the only thing I've seen is an article about Trump's affiliation with Roy Cohn:

Trump’s Mobbed Up, McCarthyite Mentor Roy Cohn

his stupidity speaks for himself.

Don't mistake me - I think he's smart in a street-smart sort of way, but as a diplomat (which is what he'd need to be)? No way.
