Trump is different.

You'll see.

How is it that the Tea Partyists are aligned with a New York plutocrat that donates money to the Clinton Global Initiative?

I think the Huffpost article in Barbara's post got it right. His support within the GOP has peaked but he can maintain it if he wants. That will make him a power broker at the convention which will probably suit him fine and
Make him billions eventually.

But his support will not expand, close to two thirds of the Republican voters are opposed to his candidacy. You bet, you lose.

And then maybe not and I will stand corrected.

2016 Republicans may start heading for the exits. That's good for Donald Trump.
