The import would seem to be, "Registered voters who would vote for Trump" as directly compared to the Democratic candidate. In which case, it is instructive to see that the numbers for Mr Trump remain equal, while the numbers for the Dem show significant variation.

"27%: Registered voters who said Trump will bring the RIGHT kind of change to the country"

"38%: Registered voters who would vote for Trump"

WTF?

Some days...

When Barack Obama ran against Alan Keyes for Senate in Illinois, he won 73-27%. Race was not a factor, so you can put that 27% down as a pretty reliable core of right wing nutbags.

Republicans do this too. I've spoken to two Republicans who think "at least Trump isn't a communist like Hillary or Obama".

Little do the realize their Saint Ronnie is also their doomsday, the final slide into oblivion and the destruction of the party of Lincoln.

The republican party Abe Lincoln was part of is definitely not the same as the party today. In fact, its a different party entirely. Just as the Democrats today are not the same party as the Democrats in the south then.

Of course the denizens of Loserville will say that
Swampie Forrest Trump only likes winners.

Which begs the question, "If Trump only likes winners, why is he running in the Republican primary and trying to appeal to Republicans?"

This is good news, I cannot imagine the country with Trump as President.

Did someone on the radio say that he would like to see Trump and Putin in the same room. Sorry but how does international business compare to US/Russian politics.
