Anyone watching Fox News wasn't voting Democrat anyway.No one did. Just as much as fox covers. It's the most watched news in America. His opinion is goingto turn into votes for some. True or not doesn't matter anymore.
Moderators should call them out on repetitive answers, answers that don't actually answer the question, soundbites and the occasional mumbling of incoherent words. Viewers should contact these news stations and journalists and make that expectation clear because right now they think the status quo is good enough.
Done.
US politics completely changed overnight.
Let's face it, as Obama's terms have shown, all politicians are basically the same and it doesn't matter which figurehead is actually the president. Obama destroyed a lot of people's hopes so people might as well get some entertainment out of this. That's where Trump's showmanship is the king
Are you sure about all politicians being same? Forexample, do you think the nuclear deal would have happened under Mitt Romney? Or a repeal of DADT?Let's face it, as Obama's terms have shown, all politicians are basically the same and it doesn't matter which figurehead is actually the president.

Maybe a moderate republican might have also done some of this stuff, but certainly not all of it.
- Healthcare reform
- Ending the Iraq war
- Ending the torture program
- Establishing diplomacy with Cuba
- Nuclear deal with Iran
- Taking executive action on immigration
- Reclassifying the internet as a utility and establishing net neutrality
- Creating much stricter standards for CO2 emissions
- Choosing not to enforce federal marijuana laws in states that legalized it
- Appointing 2 supreme court judges which both ruled to legalize gay marriage across the country, among other things
- Allowing Bush tax cuts to expire for the rich, but not for the poor.
the power of the internet is now fueling Trump in ways that Fox News cannot control.
No matter how much Megyn Kelly, Chris Wallace and Bret Baier tried to marginalize Trump in that 1st GOP debate; the internets rage tide turned agaisnt Fox News in its John Ellis Bush bias

Yeah and there arent many of those left.
I don't see how a moderate republican would survive primaries.
That's about right, not to mention he's likely doing a good bit of damage to the GOP's branding amongst voters who would otherwise consider leaning in their direction.As a casual, foreign observer, it seems like Trump is just sucking all the air out of the room. He's doing a good job with of keeping anyone else from getting any attention - everyone just talks about him.
In the end, people will go with whomever they are familiar with in the absence of any better criteria. It feels like Trump - via his controversies - is just keeping everyone talking about him and effectively preventing anyone else getting too much of a profile or becoming too familiar to the electorate. From the reporting I've seen it seems like the others are getting frustrated that they can't break through because of these constant distractions from Trump that keep it all about him.
But maybe it feels different in the states.
Also, Jeb needs to worry about Rubio big time in my opinion.

Absolutely not, lol.
If Trump wins the nomination for some crazy ass reason there is no fucking way he would beat Hillary.
Hillary is going to have Bill Clinton and Obama running around talking for her. That vs Trump? yeah... he would lose in one of the most spectacular fashions we've ever seen.
Not possible. Trump would automatically get most of the South, plains states, Utah, and upper Rocky Mountain states. Those states aren't going blue in 2016 even if the GOP ran Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi.
I think the polling done so far showed that Hillary gets North of 450 electoral votes if Trump is the nominee. Even long-tern red states flip under that scenario.

Trump isn't that far right relatively speaking so I disagree.Am I wrong about this...I'm assuming that Trump is collecting the majority of the truly ravenous right-wing vote at the moment and everyone else is split evenly. It'd be my guess that if the field is whittled down to 2-4 people, very few of those presently polling against Trump would jump to his camp, right?
Are there any polls that asks Rep voters who would they vote for if the field was just Trump vs the other Rep candidates?
I always thought the democrats are pretty much moderates.

Sanders vs Trump would be a hilarious lineup for the election. I guess Trump would win due to the masses in the US not being ready for a socialist candidate? But if Trump continues to dominate polls like this, I guess it will be tempting for democrats to pick a moderate candidate and win the election by a landslide.
Except Bernie is really just a typical democrat candidate.

Some of these are very good, but war in Iraq has not ended.
I think what you mean is "removal of majority of US ground forces from Iraq".
Trump isn't that far right relatively speaking so I disagree.
But his supporters are. They don't care about his policies, just his language.
The war in Iraq is not over. You are not allowed to bomb places on a daily basis, commit thousands of troops and say you are not at war. The war was over for the U.S. and then Obama restarted it.
Technically the Bush administration stopped the torture program since the last water boarding was in 2003 and the CIA took it off its approved methods list in 2006. Obama could have done the right thing and prosecuted those guilty of carrying out and ordering torture but he chose not do that either.
*in any other developed nation.I don't know that he's a socialist, but I think calling him a typical democrat candidate is a stretch.

Are we at war with Syria and Pakistan as well?

It's always nice to hear what people outside US think of our politics. Trump is probably a household name everywhere now. You can thank us later for your never-ending entertainment, rest of the world.As a casual, foreign observer, it seems like Trump is just sucking all the air out of the room.

Bush falling out of the top 5 is fascinating. Are people still predicting that he'll win the nomination?
*in any other developed nation.
The war was over.
However we now have a new fight against isis. But it is air raids only. Any ground fighting has to be done by kurds or Iraqis.
Call it a war if you want but I don't classify such actions as full blown war.
They're out there. And I love that there's no really reliable method to tell who's messing with pollsters/the Republican Party and who's serious about their support. We won't actually know anything until actual votes start being tallied. Imagine the damage he could do if he hangs around for the rest of the year and into 2016, hovering among that top tier of candidates..Had dinner with the parents and an old family friend and her husband this weekend. I made the mistake of mentioning the Republican primary and found out the dude was a hardcore Trump supporter. I was completely speechless as he ranted about how all politicians were corrupt and that Trump was perfect to be president. I GTFO as soon as i was able lol
Do Trump and Cruz have an understanding or alliance going on? Trump seems to attack every Republican rival, but hasn't said much on Cruz. Same with Cruz being critical of Trump.
Will be interesting to see what the polls show in a week or so. I will be shocked if Trump doesn't lose some support. Ok, maybe not shocked since he seems to defy odds, but mildly surprised.
Also, Jeb needs to worry about Rubio big time in my opinion.
