Trump hits a new high in national poll
The GOP establishment is in Defcon 5
They have no idea what to do?
Trump hits a new high in national poll
The billionaire businessman surges to 41 percent after releasing proposal to ban all Muslims from entering the U.S.Donald Trump just got a little more vault in his ceiling.
Nationwide, the polling-obsessed Manhattan multi-billionaire and leading Republican presidential candidate broke into the 40s on Monday.According to the results of the latest Monmouth University pollsurveying voters identifying as Republican or independents leaning toward the GOP, Trump earned 41 percent, nearly tripling the support of his closest rival, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who took 14 percent.
The poll underscores Trump's success at keeping voters fixated on his unprecedented presidential campaign. The latest national survey was taken after Trump landed another whopper, proposing in an emailed statement last Monday to temporarily ban all Muslims from entering the U.S.
The statement gave Trump another boost of media attention, and some speculated it was designed to shift the conversation away from a Monmouth poll from Iowa released earlier that day that showed Cruz with a 5-point edge in the state.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

A real disaster in the making for the GOP
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

For the life of me, I just don't get it.
That said, nationwide polls mean nothing if he can't get a win in Iowa, NH, or SC.
I think you're going to see a lot of different United States of America over the next three, four, or eight years. - President Donald J. Trump

I still contend the RNC will not let him be their flag-bearer. They'll find a way to sink his ship. Ask John McCain.

We shall see. At this point it would take a pretty spectacular fall for Trump to lose.
It's going to be a disaster for them in November.
