Not if you're a huckster and a charlatan, it's not.
Funny if you go to Facebook and look at all the political posts it would seem that Trump would win in a landslide.
Sorry Jim, but winning the republican nomination doesn't mean becoming president.
It better.

1) That is an Internet poll, not scientific, and even the "scientific" polls can't get things right. I'm guessing you probably think that 75% of people on the Drudge poll voting that Trump won the debates (even when he clearly didn't) is an accurate representation also, as opposed to, oh, say, Trump supporters hitting refresh and voting 100 times? The Trump sycophants would do Ron Paul supporters proud in their efforts to make Internet polls look like they're showing something that isn't actually remotely true.
2) Trump will not be the GOP nominee, and he will not be President. Book it.
It better.

This^^^ it's pithy and absolutely true. +1.
If that's what you think, then you have a very narrow sphere of political interaction. Kind of like the media saying "how did Reagan win, I don't know anyone who voted for him!?"
You're deluding yourself if you think Trump has the GOP nomination sewn up, much less the General election.
Do remember President Howard Dead?
President Gary Hart?
Didn't think so.
Correct.
FIXED!
"He is beginning to look like a visionary leader used car salesman when he shares the stage with other candidates."
ALSO FIXED!
Exactly.
Politics cut its teeth on shifting soil. I guess the laws of politics do not apply to seasoned professional politicians.
People can be really hilarious while being serious.

What you see on FB depends on what you "like." I almost NEVER see anything about Trump,but see a lot of Cruz, Carson, 2nd amendment, and Jesus.
There, fixed it for you.

Post something that makes sense and is based on facts, or don't post at all.
Like Trump does, pretty much everything you post re. Trump is baloney. As is EVERYTHING you've ever posted on economic issues.
Even better. I am happy you agree.

"Post something that makes sense and is based on facts, or don't post at all."
Easy,easy. The man has a right to post whatever he wishes. If we don't agree we can pass on a response to any post. I think you need a break from this Trumphobia that apparently has you in a death grip.

Trump only beats clinton in one of 7 recent polls.
HA/KS's Link
Carson: 25 percent Marco Rubio: 19 percent Donald Trump: 17 percent Ted Cruz: 14 percent
All republicans beat clinton in CO in this poll.
You mean like the Republican majorities in the House and Senate over the past two years?
Trump may very well be exactly that...all talk no action. Note that I said "MAYBE" because he's never been in office. With the majority of elected Republicans we KNOW they are exactly that because they've proven it by their actions (or lack thereof) time and time again.

Another Trump sycophant. I stopped paying attention at "Trump is Brilliant."
I don't know...build a wall, deportation, bomb their oil, close down the mosques, let Russia and now France bomb the $hit out of them, take over the oil fields....
Who the hell does this guy Trump think he is?
When this whacked out "cartoon boy" talks..."Everybody Listens". Including E.F. Hutton.
hmmmmmmmmmm

Shutting down the mosques is not the answer. Stopping middle eastern immigrants from coming to the U.S., at least until we figure out a way to vet them so thoroughly that they can't possibly be terrorists, now that is something I can get behind. The best way to deal with this is just to hit the terrorists (both in the U.S. and abroad) with such a law enforcement/military blitz that the most "radical" ones simply aren't left to foment trouble, and/or are scared to.
"the most "radical" ones simply aren't left to foment trouble, and/or are scared to."
Surely you jest.

Joshuaf,
What do you mean by "...hit the terrorists (both in the U.S. and abroad) with such a law enforcement/military blitz..."? You don't think that's already happening?
To borrow Rocky's phrase: "Surely you jest?"
This Trump is locked down crazy isn't he?...what...what was that?
....the house is considering safe zones in Syria?
What?
The Rock
Trump's in good company, Hillary wants that too.
"Surely you jest?"
Nope...you should be smart enough to know that you don't know what you don't know.

Actually, ALL of them, as FDR was the last President, to my knowledge, to talk about any one ethnic group in the same way as Trump is about Muslims.
Donald Trump is a Democrat, as many have been saying all along.
So far today Trump has come out for:
Wind Farm Subsidies More gov programs for college students Corporate Welfare Registering all Muslims
