Trump would eat Romney for breakfast and take away his lunch money to boot.

At the rate he is going, Trump would have flamed out by then when Romney enters the race.

Right.

Quote:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - After a week in which he hosted Saturday Night Live and stood center-stage at a Republican debate, Donald Trump is surging among Republicans likely to cast votes in the party’s presidential primary.

According to the five-day rolling Reuters/Ipsos presidential poll, Trump has leapt some 17 percentage points among likely Republican voters since Nov. 6, when he was essentially tied with Ben Carson at about 25 percent. Trump now captures 42 percent of those voters while Carson has fallen off slightly.

Can we have the Cliff Notes version? There's no way I can listen to Trump for an hour and a half.

The Trump haters have been playing this "Trump is done" tune over and over like a broken record for months.

But much to their chagrin he's still in the lead.

Back in September they were saying that Snarly had done him in. Well, look where Snarly is now. Three percent compared to Trumps 24.8%.

Get back to me when, and if you have some poll numbers that will back it up.

We all owe a 'yoooge' debt of gratitude to Bill Clinton for encouraging Donald Trump to singlehandedly destroy the Republican brand.

It looks like we have a nativist and a 700 Club type threatening to destroy Cleveland and the GOP next August. If either one makes it past South Carolina omg (oh my gosh!) its going to get ugly for the Republicans.

If I was Kasich or Bush I would go to New Hampshire now and knock on every single door until February and say if you don't want Hillary then you better not vote for Carson or Trump, over and over and over again. I would not even get on the same stage with them for another debate. THAT might scare some GOPers.

But then again it is 2015.

Except Christie is working NH very hard, so there is another obstacle for Bush and Kasich to contend with. IMO, both are pretty much washed up unless they go into hiding and surface six months from now.

Poll numbers are one thing.... But watching him have a melt down during a political campaign speech is far more entertaining. 😄
