That's more or less what Trump gets when the others drop out.
Sorry to be an arithmetic Nazi, but that adds up to 64%.

I just had a truly terrifying thought......

Can you imagine what sort of Supreme Court Justices "President Trump" would appoint?

They would make Scalia look sane and reasonable!

Compared to the Republicans that I grew up on (ie. Eisenhower) today's Republican Party is 100% far right.

Compared to today's Democrats, JFK is 100% far right.

Ironically, economic growth expanded in 1963, and Republicans and conservative Democrats in Congress insisted that reducing taxes without corresponding spending cuts was unacceptable. Kennedy disagreed, arguing that “a rising tide lifts all boats” and that strong economic growth would not continue without lower taxes.

The current breed of Dems wants tax increases and complained that the "stimulus" or stimuli didn't go far enough.

Obama would never even think of suggesting that "a rising tide lifts all boats". The Dems, rather, would distribute dinghies to the poor and middle class while imposing luxury taxes on larger than a pontoon boat.
