I guess that's how the rest of the field will attack him.

By saying he can't win the general.

If they go after him in any other way they risk alienating their base that loves them some Donald.

Absolutely or else there will be another Tea Party called the Trump Party.

No, but feel free to use the same one as me.

By the way, I like yours.

I'm pulling for a Sanders vs. Trump election in 2016.

Trump’s popularity spikes among Republicans

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...icans/?hpid=z4

A close friend of mine has termed Donald Trump's campaign for President as 'Trumpery'.

Trump represents a middle finger from a segment of Republican voters directed at the GOP establishment.

Politico reported overnight on the new Fox News poll:

Donald Trump leads all Republican presidential candidates for the GOP primary, according to a new Fox national poll of registered voters released Thursday.

Eighteen percent of GOP voters said they supported Trump, up 7 percent from last month and 15 percent from March.

Trailing Trump’s 18% support is Scott Walker, who’s in second with 15%, and Jeb Bush with 14%. No other candidate reached double digits in the Fox poll.

Quote:
And in this specific poll, that’s not all. Consider this question Fox asked respondents:

“Recently, presidential candidate Donald Trump called for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. He said Mexico is quote, ‘sending people that have lots of problems…. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.’ Setting aside how Trump worded his comments, do you think he’s basically right on this, or not?”

A total of 70% of Republican voters said they believe Trump’s racially charged rhetoric is correct. That’s not a typo – seven in 10.

There are some ugly attitudes that have pushed Trump to the top of the crowded GOP field, and Republican officials have to come to terms with that.

Trumps lead in the polls increases as a function of the increase in his notoriety. The more he defends his racist stance on immigration and the more unthinking and jingoistic his statements on foreign affairs, the more the Republican base loves him.

Says a lot about the Republican voter, doesn't it?
