Donald Trump dominates GOP pack heading into 2016

Since announcing in June that he’d seek the Republican nomination for President in 2016, Donald Trump has dominated in both polls and media coverage.

So far, it hasn’t worked very well.

Since last week’s GOP primary debate – Bush’s best so far – the former Florida governor has tweaked his approach to cast himself as Trump’s nemesis. Trump, meanwhile, has actually gained ground over that time – and has only intensified the barrage of insults he routinely lobs at Bush.

If Christie wins New Hampshire, or at least finishes ahead of Cruz and/or Rubio, he too becomes a force to be reckoned with.

By losing to Mr Obama in the battle for the 2008 Democratic nomination, Mr Trump said Mrs Clinton had been “schlonged” – a vulgar neologism derived from a Yiddish term for penis. And of course, Trump reprised his consistent line of attack against Bush, calling him “weak and low energy”.

Levin, a former Reagan administration official who was once dubbed “The Great One” by Sean Hannity, has eschewed positive posts about Trump lately to promote Cruz through his personal Twitter account. “We knew that as we got closer to the voting there’d be more jockeying for position, and that’s what we’re seeing right now”, said Juliana Bergeron, a Republican National Committeewoman from Keene, N.H. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., learned this week. Of the respondents answering questions online, 38 percent picked Trump for president, while only 32 percent of respondents named him when speaking to live pollsters. He’s also for immigration reform. But Trump claimed he was using the term to say Clinton was beaten badly.

Oh, and as of right now JebBush.com forwards you to Donald Trump’s official campaign site. “He shouldn’t take it personally either but someone needs to call him out”, he said. The gulf grew even starker among voters with college degrees: “College graduates favored Trump in online surveys over live telephone by about 10 percentage points”.

New Hampshire’s rugged North Country has a way of stripping any delusions of grandeur from running for the most powerful job in the world – especially if you’re a candidate campaigning with something to prove.

The poll shows Trump with just a four-point edge over Cruz, who recorded 24 per cent of support from Republican party voters. Princeton, Harvard Law, a clerkship with Supreme Court Chief Justice John Rehnquist, the George W. Bush campaign and the Bush administration.

“This is not a serious man that has serious plans”, Bush said Monday night at an American Legion hall in Alton, bringing up Trump’s name three times.

Here are five reasons Trump is still the undisputed Republican front-runner. Donald Trump – with 100 percent name recognition and high unfavorables – is about topped out.

Hillary said “I really deplore the tone and inflammatory rhetoric of his campaign”. But getting to those states, held later in the contest, will prove hard if Cruz can generate unstoppable momentum in the early conservative blitz across large, red states, many with substantial evangelical populations.

One of the only concrete proposals by Jeb Bush is entitlement reform.

The first votes will be cast in early February at the Iowa caucuses, and guess what?
