It's great that people who are apparently ok with Trump referring to Mexicans as thieves and rapists are outraged about an actual killer being slightly jilted. :)

Trump was the GOP yelling 'Squirrel" and getting the left to focus on that (and it worked). Never a serious contender, you all should of known that. He just has the intenstinal fortitude to actually say whats on his mind rather than scripted teleprompter other writers points that focused well to the current audience. And many people 'on the inside' agree with him but lack any courage to say so 'on the outside'.
And it is not like Mexico is 'sending' us their best and brightest, well educated, English speaking, job trained, and better off financially immigration candidates. You all, I hope, have read Mexican Immagration Law and Policies concerning their Southern Border, and they have the nerve to say our policies are too strict and unhumanitarian...really.

I don't think you'll find a single person outside of maybe some of the people who answered the phone/online polls in his favor who thought he was a serious candidate.
Mexico isn't sending us anyone though, to be fair. People themselves are escaping areas of crippling poverty and war-zone levels of crime, brought about largely by the Mexican government's inability to provide for its people and control the power of drug cartels.
Oh, for sure. The way Mexico handles its border with Guatemala is bad thing. And the way they diplomatically speak about the U.S.'s immigration issues is laughable. There is a difference between the government and the people, though.

Trump's up above the 20% mark in an ABC/WaPo poll, but only the last day of polling included his remarks about John McCain, and the last day curbed his numbers sharply.
I'm interested to see what shakes out after the first full polling cycle post-McCain statements.

I think you'll see his poll numbers start to decline this week as McCain failed to take the bait and publicly debate Trump on this which is what I think Trump really wanted. Inflammatory statements will always get you a bump in the nutcase electorate for polling purposes, but so long as McCain lets the issue die quietly (like he seems to have done) it won't have any lasting positive effect on people talking about Trump and his numbers will fall as he fails to get continued media presence from these kinds of remarks. |

I liked trump for not having a filter. Refreshing. He's an idiot, but refreshing.

The news last night said that "his impact could range anywhere from a Perot to more of a Nader," which made me laugh a little.

Should we start a pool for when Trump decides he's cashed in on the extra publicity and bows out of the race?
I'm thinking January 16.

Thoughts:
Rs: I don't think I expected Trump to stick around this long at all. I honestly have no idea when the train ends for his campaign. He's been openly racist, mocked veterans, openly misogynist, and still is running away with it. The ride ends at some point, I just don't know what he has to do to derail it. I didn't see Carson jumping so high up, but I suspect he'll drop back down to single digits soon enough as someone else becomes the Good Soundbite Of The Week. Maybe it'll be Ted Cruz. Ds:
It's still a one-woman race, but Sanders has made up a lot of ground. More than I thought he would, for sure. I think the big issue with his campaign has been so far, that he's not getting money. Nearly 75% of all incoming Democratic money is going to Hillary. He also scores low for black action -- meaning that unlike Obama in 2008, a lot of minority voters are saying they won't go knock door-to-door, put up signs, etc. Will Joe Biden run? I don't think so, but who knows really. |

I've figured it out. Trump isn't running seriously, he's the GOP's crash dummy. They are using him to test positions and statements to see how everyone reacts so they can form their strategy for whoever gets the nomination. With his new pledge to not run as an independent, it's the only thing that makes sense.

We're a week from Iowa.
Bernie has caught up Iowa and is gaining movement in South Carolina. Trump is still 20 points up. I was wrong about a lot of things. |
