    You're such a naysayer. ;-)

    The fall of The Donald has been predicted by many for so long and yet he keeps winning. It's really kind of humorous.

    Keeps winning? He's won ONE STATE. Lil ole New Hampshire. He's behind Cruz in delegates. Sheesh. He's dropping like a stone in South Carolina. If he blows a 20 point lead there, it's over for him before Super Tuesday.

    Huh? The Donald has 17 delegates and Cruz has 11.
    It's hard to pin you down. I think you've said he'll win S.C. So how much the stone may drop is inconsequential to the outcome.
    How so? If he gets just 15% more than the #2 guy do you think that means he'll get out of the race before March 1? Why?

    Yeah, you're right, I'm wrong. I forgot that Iowa went to a proportional system.

    He should win the South Carolina primary. But the way that state goes, you never know. In 2012 55% of the GOP voters waited until election day to make their choice.

    No, Trump won't get out of the race until he's been beaten in several states. That won't happen until after Super Tuesday. He might even stay in a while longer because of his Jupiter sized ego.

    But, if he blows a 22 point lead in SC and ends up winning by "only" 10% - 15% that is an indication that the nation is tiring of his schtick.

    You need to quit thinking of it as "Trump has 33%, and everyone else is in the teens or single digits". The proper way to look at it is:

    Trump 33%
    Not Trump 67%

    Doesn't an old hymn say
    "The Trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend...?"
    If that's as soon as it can happen, let's leave this loathsome world of His behind!

    Amen to that.

    Truer words have never been spoken here.

    Unfortunately the blind as bats flag waving zombies on this board abhor the truth in any form.

    Brother Curtis was right about the people here.

    And it's only gotten worse since he left.

    Again??? Here are the recent SC polls:

    http://www.realclearpolitics.com/ep...publican_presidential_primary-4151.html#polls

    One poll, and only one poll since the first of the year shows him with a 22-point lead. The average lead is 17.5 points. And speaking of 2012, Newt Gingrich won that state with about 40% of the vote but he won every delegate except two. Donald Trump *could* be going on the same trajectory but there's really no evidence of it in the polling.

    And I do believe in the polling in any primary state but not in a caucus state. It's going to matter who shows up in Nevada, so that will be more of a test of organization and motivation. I have it narrowed down to Cruz/Rubio/Trump, and keep going back and forth between the three.

    Back on the OP, it's a mystery to me, too, guess they think Trump could take out Hillary. Like Palin's, this one is a head-scratcher:

    Some very good points, which is why I find Trump intriguing. However, my concern is that he's a loose cannon and that he recently had different positions on abortion and even immigration. This gives me pause as to whether I can trust him to be commander-in-chief. I do find his nationalist populism appealing, along with putting the breaks on a rabid neocon-driven foreign policy.

    Another concern I have of Trump is what kind of policies might he put in place that will be for the purposes of benefiting his business endeavors when he gets out of the office if he were elected.

    Trump is Machiavelli's perfect Prince.
