I'm hoping Donald's ignorance continues to be appealing to his voter base. Eventually, I think people will be embarrassed when or if they are forced to support him as the republican candidate. Hillary may have the easiest path to the White House in recent history.
This Monmouth poll of registered Republican voters shows Trump increasing his national lead to 41%, up from 28% two months ago. It was taken Dec 10-13, which was after Trumpster the Dumpster said he wanted to ban all Muslims from traveling to the US.

I still think Trump is on his way down. Major, I already know what you are going to say.
A Washington Post-ABC News poll conducted Dec 10-13 also shows Trumps lead growing. http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/page/politics/washington-post-abc-news-poll-dec-10-13-2015/1914/ Code: [B]12/13 11/19 10/18 9/10 7/19 5/31 3/29[/B] Donald Trump 38% 33% 32% 34% 23% 5% NA Ted Cruz 14% 7% 6% 7% 4% 7% 13% Ben Carson 11% 22% 21% 18% 6% 7% 7% Marco Rubio 10% 11% 9% 6% 9% 9% 7% Jeb Bush 7% 5% 8% 10% 13% 13% 20% Chris Christie 4% 2% 3% 1% 4% 5% 6% Rand Paul 3% 3% 3% 4% 6% 11% 9% Mike Huckabee 2% 3% 3% 3% 7% 9% 8% Carly Fiorina 1% 4% 5% * 2% 1% NA
Lol. Are non republicans pretending to be R and vote for him? I can't believe that 25% of our country is this crazy... I mean my mother is a Trump supporter, but she also lives in LaLa back in my day land.

Why is it that every gambling website has Marco Rubio as the favorite to win the Republican nomination??
Are there honestly Republicans voters who (particularly after 2012) HONESTLY believe that they can win a general election with only the white vote? Because that's all they're going to get if they nominate Trump, and it seems completely insane to me.
Denial. Republican voters think they're taking their country back to 1952 and expecting Eisenhower to be there for them.
Do you have ANY idea how many white voters stayed home in the last 2 elections? I am just as aghast at Trump's popularity as the next guy, but don't underestimate his ability to reach disenfranchised voters of both parties. I'm beginning to think he can do this...and I mean win the whole thing, not just the nomination?
http://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2012/11/14/u-s-racialethnic-demographics-1960-today-and-2050/ i don't know how many white voters stayed home. but for whatever reason every ethnicity besides white leans heavily towards Dems. so until they address that i have a very hard time seeing a republican president in the near future, unless of course there is some huge scandal or a bobby kennedy type situation where a candidate is assassinated.
And you haven't considered how many moderate conservatives (like this one) who voted for McCain and Romney are likely to stay home in the next election if it's between Hillary and Trump/Cruz?

Please don't lump President Eisenhower with the the current crop of crazies in the GOP. He was pretty progressive actually. "In all those things which deal with people, be liberal, be human. In all those things which deal with people's money, or their economy, or their form of government, be conservative."
I just think it's funny that people think that racism disappeared after the civil rights movement. Did all those people who thought segregation was a good idea suddenly just change their mind? No, they just went into hiding. Now, it's okay to now to show your racism because of social media since they see people just like them spouting stuff everyday. Fox news and the Republican party did this to themselves, and now the whole country has to deal with the embarrassment.
