The margin of error among Republican voters was plus or minus 4.5 percent.
Voting Republican is an error 95.5 to 104.5 percentage points more often than that.

…Trump had almost tripled his support since launching his campaign in June.
Receiving more than triple the amount of media coverage than any of the other GOP candidates probably helped a little.

The Republican primary has become a living, breathing, rolling comedy show, with The Donald as MC.
It is as if someone dropped a box full of ping pong balls in front of a big fan…
…sheer, laughable chaos.
The gyrations and gymnastics these clowns are willing to go through to put themselves in the spotlight has become the most disgusting part of it, and offers a pure schadenfreude opportunity for those of us not swimming in the soup.
Seriously, If Huckabee could get his head any further up that crazy clerk’s ass, he’d be peeking through her nostrils.

all that being said, watch Kasich start moving into double digit territory sooner or later, the bigots won’t vote for a black man and the machine republicans will find a way to derail Trump’s upward trajectory.
As for Bush, he’s in Tea Mob limbo. And the only reason Kasich might get that traction that WAS intended for Bush is that he’s been moderating, CAREFULLY, and when it all comes out in the wash, Kasich will drqaw in the traditional Republicans because Carson is black and Trump is crazy.
The real question now is, are there more xenophobe crazies than moderate republicans now that the Tea Mob has matured?
We will know soon enough.
This is no surprise. Trump is the only candidate that appeals to both moderate and extreme right republicans. He’ll probably also the most dangerous to Clinton, largely due to that block of voters that never watch the news, but watched Apprentice. Clinton would have had no problems with him if she were 10 years younger, but we all know how people in this country hate old people (and this board is no exception).
"Now perhaps you small clowns will understand…I’m YOOOOOOOGE!"
It’s more entertaining than I ever imagined! “Whatta’ circus…whatta show…”
Got my schadenfreude fix…pass the popcorn!

I wonder how much Trump’s position on changing the taxation on hedge funds/carrier interest affected Jeb!'s position.
He’s the least dangerous. You can’t look at his polling numbers among Republicans or his ratings (which weren’t that great) as a barometer of his general election chances. Look at how he’s doing with minorities (especially Latinos), women, and young people. His numbers are dismal. Also, Trump is two years older than Clinton.
It’s like a slow-moving, airborne toxic event.
