Trump hits new milestone
 
Donald Trump Sets Record, Hits 40 Percent in New Poll

Over 40% in latest poll.

It boils primarily down to whether The Donald can keep the media attention going.

See analysis from 538 blog below:

Quote:
The chart above shows the share of news coverage and Google search traffic that Trump has received among all Republican candidates. (See here for the methodology.) The share of news coverage devoted to Trump has been fairly steady over the past month. Steady and very high, at 50 percent to 60 percent of all coverage received by the GOP field. In other words, Trump is getting as much coverage as the rest of the Republican field combined. But Trump?s Google search traffic is often just as high, or higher.

There?s one anomaly, though, which is the week of Aug. 2. That was the week of the first Republican debate, in Cleveland. That week, Trump received a comparatively low share of Google search traffic ? ?only? 41 percent. People weren?t any less interested in Trump after the debate, but they were more interested than usual in some of the other Republican candidates, especially Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich, each of whom had among their best weeks of the year from a search traffic standpoint. So Trump?s share of search traffic fell in proportion to the rest of the field. Media interest in Trump was as high as ever, however: He represented 59 percent of the press coverage that week. Since then, search traffic for Carson, Fiorina and Cruz is a bit higher than before the debate but has reverted mostly back to the mean.

What?s interesting is how Trump seemed to go out of his way after the debate to ensure that he?d remain the center of attention, with his tirade against Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly (a feud that he?s since resurrected). That tended to drown out most of the coverage of whether, say, Fiorina or Kasich had gained momentum after the debate, perhaps preventing them from having the sort of feedback loop of favorable attention that can sometimes trigger surges in the polls.

I don?t know whether this was a deliberate strategy on Trump?s behalf. But if so, it?s pretty brilliant. Trump is perhaps the world?s greatest troll, someone who is amazingly skilled at disrupting the conversation by any means necessary, including by drawing negative, tsk-tsking attention to himself. In the current, ?free-for-all? phase of the campaign ? when there are 17 candidates and you need only 20 percent or so of the vote to have the plurality in GOP polls ? this may be a smart approach. If your goal is to stay at the center of attention rather than necessarily to win the nomination, it?s worth making one friend for every three enemies, provided that those friends tell some pollster that they?d hypothetically vote for you.

Is it sustainable? In the long run, probably not. There are lots of interesting candidates in the GOP field, whether you?re concerned with the horse race, their policy positions or simply just entertainment value. Sooner or later, the media will find another candidate?s story interesting. Cruz has a lot of upside potential in the troll department, for instance, along with better favorability ratings than Trump and a slightly more plausible chance of being the Republican nominee.

But there?s not a lot of hard campaign news to dissect in August. Fend off the occasional threat by throwing a stink bomb whenever another story risks upstaging you, and you can remain at the center of the conversation, and atop the polls, for weeks at a time.

Whether its Hillary, Bernie or Joe, the Dems will be the Donald in 2016 should he become the republican nominee.

Pres. Obama was Baby Jesus to his followers.
Trump is adult Jesus. But we all know things didn't end up well for that version. Lol

The media and the RNC are working hard on the crucifixion as we speak.

Because they couldn't win if Bush were the nominee? Lol

Trump would be the strongest candidate and the latest national polls prove it.

Just wait until he aims both barrels at Hillary without having to deal with any other Republicans.

Yes, Jorge Ramos who says he has never ceased to be Mexican, votes in both countries and whose daughter works for the Hillary Clinton campaign. At least was upfront about it.

Watch the whole conference! He is allowed back in and then he blasts his tirade in a most annoying way. Like he shouted out of turn (you would think a "serious" reporter would have basic ethics sense) in the beginning, but even more annoying...
You want to say "shut the fuck up, you moron" just watching that...
look the whole conference up :)

ps: nice move by Clinton, hire the dauighter, get extra passionate support from univision dude.

Anyone can speak intelligently when they're reading a script. Rhetoric always sounds intelligent and beefy when read from a teleprompter. :2 cents:

People who speak unscripted tend to get more passionate and throw what you call "tantrums" while speaking. The reason is because they're answering the way they actually feel and when challenged, they feel they're being attacked on a personal level. Unlike reading something someone else or a team of someones meticulously prepared hours prior to you regurgitating it. I wish Obama would have thrown more "tantrums" -- but we all know he can't speak unscripted. Oh no...that's not allowed. :helpme

Nope, I've been saying that Obama was "Sweet Baby Jesus Obama" for the longest time because he could no wrong in the eyes of his followers and he was even compared to the messiah in a joking analogy on MSNBC.

And I'm calling Trump the adult Jesus because he's older and the baby Jesus moniker has already went to Obama in my sense of humor.

Lighten up...

Rochard 08-26-2015 07:05 PM
Trump seems to have no idea what he is talking about. "I will build a wall". Okay, how you will pay for it? "I will have Mexico pay for it". Huh? It's going to cost $700 billion dollars to double the existing wall, which is completely ineffective and he has no plan on how to pay for it. "I can build a wall, building a wall is easy". Building a building is easy; Trying to fund a project that costs hundreds of billions of dollars of public money when you have thirty-six opposition groups trying to stop you, the general public who isn't on board with spending hundreds of billions of dollars, and then getting it past CONGRESS (half of whom is against him) is nearly impossible.

Trump seems to believe that if he says it, it will come true.

"I am going to create jobs" he said yesterday during his speech. How? "I am going to tax all products made out of the country by 35%". Really? So instantly ALL of computer products - tablets, cell phones, laptops, computers, televisions - will now cost 35% more. That sounds brilliant.

Don't vote for him then!

Find a candidate that actually reflects the way you think about the issues. :)

Trump is turning the elections into a puppet show alright, and using the other politicians as puppets!

It's okay. They're used to having billionaires' fists up their butts. Financially speaking.
