What’s the matter with them? They are uneducated, uninformed, and stupid, so Trump is like their peer. Favoring Trump is a one question IQ test.

Unknot your pantyhose Even the usually oblivious Chuck Todd noted that any of the percentages he is leading by are a percentage of the Republican Voters which is about 28% of the total.
In other words UNELECTABLE

Trump hit 41 percent national support among Republican and GOP-leaning voters in the December Monmouth University Poll,
This is among the goobers folks, in another National poll…I think that just about 'splains it all.
Here’s some reading on how National polls right now probably signify very little overall:
When it comes to National polls this early…It is a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing…Well, almost nothing.

This is wonderful news for the RNC and also for the Trump and Cruz campaigns. The Republican electorate appears to be coalescing around a clear front runner quite early despite the deep bench in the race. Reince Priebus’ strategy of limiting debates and enhancing outreach to minorities has been resonating with the campaigns and the electorate.

9 percent backed retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson…
Yet NBC would have us believe that this same 9 percent of the GOP electorate is enough to beat Hillary Clinton.

And the 10% for Rubio will also beat Clinton. But Clinton will beat Trump.
The fog of GOP war.

so apparently the base of the GOP is so fucking angry about losing two straight elections to Obama, and still angry about how nobody but them liked W, that they are going to spite us all by nominating someone as bad, if not worse, than Bush.

But I thought Cruz, super genius, was surging ahead, and, therefore, all the people who keep stroking his giant ego (and gianter brain!) would be vindicated!
Maybe not. Nor Cruz.
My country cousins in Oklahoma are lined up in favor of Ben Carson. They hate Trump and despise Cruz even though they are evangelicals and only slighly to the left of the John Birch Society.
I suspect there are many more like them down south a’ways.
Who will get Ben’s supporters?

Interesting question.
I think it’s too near Christmas and New Years to ask that. Maybe after New Years but only if OU beats Clemson

Remember when Paul Ryan said Trump doesn’t represent “who we are as a party?”

What this poll shows is the same thing most polls have been showing or trending toward since June, which is that a large majority of the GOP base wants to nominate a lunatic. For a couple of years, the GOP establishment was saying they would be looking to their governors and former governors to pick a nominee. They also said the field was big because they had such a deep bench with so many successful and qualified potential candidates. The base heard none of that.
I don’t know how, through a brokered convention or because enough of the base wakes the hell up, the GOP can come together to rally around an establishment nominee. How do you get folks who’ve been fervently supporting Trump for 6-10 months to be satisfied with Rubio? This is bad for the establishment and steadily getting worse.

but all the GOP pundits told me his support had a ceiling at 20%. then 25%. then 30%. to paraphrase Inigo Montoya, you keep using this word ceiling, but i do not think it means what you think it means

You tell me. If Trump and Cruz are the only winners in the 4 early states,who else will still be in the race on March 1st? Candidates will start dropping out after Iowa. Some of them will be broke by then. The next fundraising report is due on 1/15/2016. I’m thinking the field will be down to no more than 4 contenders by 3/1 and maybe only 3.
Or maybe a democracy copayment, so people only go to the polls if they really need to. Like a poll tax.
