The GOP's Biggest Nightmare: Trump Dominates Fox News Poll

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Demagogue or not, The Donald continues to gain support among Republicans for the GOP Presidential nomination, according to the latest FOX News poll, and among Republican primary voters, Trump now captures 18 percent: more than his closest competitor, Walker.

He’s closely followed by Walker at 15 percent and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 14 percent. No one else reaches double-digits.

 

As FOX reports,

Support for Trump is up seven percentage points since last month and up 14 points since May.  He’s also the candidate GOP primary voters say they are most interested in learning more about during the debates.

 

Walker’s up six points since he officially kicked off his campaign. That bump gets him back to the support he was receiving earlier this year. In March, he was also at 15 percent.

 

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul gets eight percent, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio receives seven percent, former neurosurgeon Ben Carson comes in at six percent, and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee get four percent a piece.

Here's Martin Armstrong on the matter...

Tump-Donald

Trump is hitting very hard, clearly tapping into the emerging anti-establishment politician trend. He bluntly states, “Who do you want negotiating with China? Trump or Bush?” You could expand that to Hillary. Her negotiations amount to how much they are willing to donate to her questionable charity. People setup such charities because they have money to give back TO society, like Bill Gates. The Clintons started their charity when they were broke. Who is the charity really benefiting and why did Hillary shakedown countries as Secretary of State to pile in money to their questionable charity?

MSNBC keeps trying to focus on Trump’s comments on Mexico. They give him tons of airtime in an attempt to discourage people from voting for him, but they may be creating the exact opposite. Despite what everyone says, he is tapping into the increasingly popular view that everyone is starting to feel, having had enough of politicians, or at least the ones with a brain.

If they were so smart and connected you'd think they would have done something about it before Trump started kicking Bush all over the playground.

You ought also to realise we are now in an era where most people know how easy it is make up photos, recordings, documents, buy witnesses etc.  There is an enormous level of cynicism in this era such that if Trump says any such allegations are false, and if people like his message, they will give him the benefit of the doubt and see it as a clear indication his message is right.

You also should not underestimate the battalions of top lawyers he will happily pay to take apart any serious claims.

Vichy DC is one big hollow show to distract the peoples and that is a huge fucking weakness when you are facing a master showman like Trump.

All those rich people got to where they are by exploiting poorer people. It's not Luck or Talent, it's exploiting an opportunity to legally rip-off those futher down the Pyramid.

Of course Trump is doing well. Americans, by and large, are stupid. Trump is stupid. Stupid like company. For 35 years, the Republican party has embraced idiocy and now that has given birth to the Donald, and they can't put the whole mess back in a box. He's running on absolutely nothing tangible except for cutting specific trade deal (because he's awesome) and building a wall (that won't work) and making Mexico pay for it  

Trump will win the Repub. Nom.

Vice President Cruz

Speaker Paul

 

Trump brings leadership, appeal, balls and flash. Cruz brings legal genius, and Paul brings an emphasis on liberty. It's the American Dream Team.

Looks like Cruz is lining himself up for that.  In career terms would be a sensible move.  If Trump succeeds in turning the US around, Cruz would be well placed to succeed him and is young enough to do so.

The Donald: analysis by Dr Kevin MacDonald

We all rack our brains every day trying how to break through in a system that is completely stacked against us. How could it happen—a political movement that would ignite the imaginations of White America, depose the corrupt donor class in the Republican Party, and begin to really take the country back?

Right now, doing so is a huge uphill battle. The oppressive mainstream media environment is closed to obviously true messages that Whites have interests just like everybody else. Indeed, it is busy tearing down what’s left of traditional American culture. And despite the internet, the mainstream media, including outlets such as Fox News, continues to wield enormous power, and the vast majority of Americans, including educated Americans, accept its legitimacy and moral authority. Despite the First Amendment, we all know that there are a variety of very powerful social sanctions against anyone who contravenes the racial consensus.

Trump’s statements on the criminal tendencies and generally low functioning of Mexican and Central American immigrants have struck a chord with White America. And he certainly did not fall in my estimation when he attacked two prominent operatives of the Republican Party/Israel Lobby nexus hostile to his candidacy, Charles Krauthammer and Jonah Goldberg. Then there’s the Twitter incident: “I promise you that I’m much smarter than Jonathan Leibowitz — I mean Jon Stewart @TheDailyShow,” tweeted Trump, adding, “Who, by the way, is totally overrated.” It is, of course, considered “anti-Semitic” to ever call attention to the fact that someone is Jewish because of the absolutely outrageous suggestion that the Jewish identity of someone like Stewart/Leibowitz might influence his opinions. As we all know, Jews are just like everybody else.

These are perhaps the first shots in what will become a raging conflagration between the Jewish media establishment and Trump if he continues to gain traction.

Trump said last week that he gives to both parties.  That he is a businessman who has interests that need to be protected, and when he whistles they come, regardless of party.

He has no respect for any of them, and why should he?  From his perspective, he is superior to all of them....and he probably is.  He controls his own destiny, he is richer, better known, and better respected by the average Joe American.  He doesn't beg or pander and can't be bribed.

I doubt Trump will ever see as much as 25%. He's not making any friends. As others drop out, the votes will go to those remaining, not Trump.

Too bad. I'd love to see him in debates. That would be entertaining.

About the only votes he won't get are the ones going to Bush.

He's making plenty of friends among the public, just not with the MSM, and the vested RINO and Democrat interests.  But in voting terms they are very much a minority.

Unlike most of the candidates, Trump knows how to get cut through so his message can't to hidden by the MSM.

I hope that he kicks Jeb and Hillary's asses.  Not that he would be much of an improvement but at least his full of shit ratio is not nearly as high as these two.

It helps to be a narcissistic asshole to do politics because normal people don't have the stomach for it. 

What is refreshing about The Donald is that he is unabashedly assholish and openly narcissistic. It's a change from the other politicians who cloak these traits in a thick layer of hypocrisy.

I bet The Donalds policy package (the real one) does not give one hoot about ordinary people, but why not hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

I think the Donald cares about the American Dream narrative as it validates himself. He likes to think of himself as a self-made man whether it is true or not. If it is all a facade, then he and his achievements are diminished. This all seems in alignment with his call to make America great again.
