Trump exciting GOP… and dangling prospect of 3rd party bid
Christie came in sixth place with 4% support, but fell within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points – in striking distance of Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who both received 7%; Sen. “I like people who weren’t captured“.
Donald Trump speaks at the Iowa Freedom Summit. If that is so, then why in the world would conservatives give him a second glance as a presidential candidate? It’s set for August 6. Perry unloaded on Wednesday when he called Trump’s campaign a “barking carnival act” and “toxic mix of demagoguery, mean-spiritedness and nonsense”. And Priebus finds himself in the unenviable position of having to try to prevent a serious crackup. Adding to the quagmire, immigration has emerged as Trump’s top issue, while only 14 percent of conservative voters consider it a top priority. He is also highlighting lines of division within the party and the broader electorate that are problematic for the GOP. Trump seems to have it, although the extent of his fortune is not public and it’s not known how much he would be willing to spend.
Trump has eclipsed other GOP candidates. Orderly debates would have been tiresome, but that was the point.

Online publication The Huffington Post recently said they planned to cover Donald Trump’s “side-show” of a presidential campaign as entertainment news, not politics. “Absolutely, if they’re not fair, that would be a factor”. The Democratic Party has not yet released the dates for its debates.
America is a politically divided country.
Trump holds 18 percent support among Republicans in a CNN/ORC worldwide Poll released Sunday morning.
The media focus on Trump’s candidacy has been extraordinary, especially in the way that other GOP candidates are portrayed in terms of how they compare to him.
“I think our candidates should pledge not to run as a third-party candidate”.
Priebus knows those numbers. In response, “Trump brought on stage a stack of papers he claimed to have been sent to him from former military men who supported him”. Bernie Sanders, the socialist challenging Clinton for the Democratic nomination.
Republicans recognize offending Trump is politically risky.
The criticism and condemnations that followed those remarks “do not appear to have slowed the Trump steamroller”, Monmouth University pollster Patrick Murray wrote in his assessment of the survey results.
Breaking those responses down by self-party identification, three-quarters of both Democrats and Republicans responded that there was something that they liked about their respective party.
