Anger @ American citizens for even giving him a chance. But Cain, Bachman, Buchanan, Robertson all had their day and ended up nowhere to be seen at the end, so there's hope.

I get so confused by this republican logic. When it started, it was Cruz we were supposed to be running from in fear. Now, Donald Trump, a reality TV host, is the second coming. I love that you have at least a basic foundation of the Kubler-Ross stages of grief; however, your application is incorrect.

Republicans have a very tough time understanding polls. Remember Obama v Romney. Although every poll had Obama clearly leading, post after post described a Romney win because the media sold you on his "gains" in the poll as winning the polls. It wasn't manipulation. Romney GAINED in the polls, but never took the lead. He lost handily as every reputable poll predicted--to the shock of republicans. Trump is leading early in the Republican primaries, but he is losing handily against the Democrats on a national stage. Hopefully, Trump will be the competitor against the Democrat nominee. It will assure a Democrat win. Like you learned the last time that gains don't equate to winning, primaries of just republican voters are vastly different from general elections of all registered voters.

The only problem with your thesis is that the Democrats have no viable alternative. Hillary and Sanders are unelectable.

Electorially Romney did lose handily, but % wise,considering he was running against a sitting President he really did not take a bath as many would like to think, but that is before and we are taking 2016, so let's let it drop. You sound like those who are still saying "it is all Bush's fault" Are you old enough to remember 1980 and what the polls showed then? I am willing to bet you are not...

I didn't have the 5 stages of grief with Trump. I listened to what the candidates had to say and googled them to look at what they had done or not in the past and that is why I am "Stumping for the Trump". He is the only one that has brought up the REAL concerns of our US citizens and discussed them. He has some of his plans on his website and he working on putting together the rest. He has said that he will pick the BEST people to be working with him and boy, even that would be a HUGE change. Go Trump 2016 and make America great again and we all know that it isn't that great anymore as we slip into 3rd world status and sell our very soul to Iran.

He did take a bath. The economy still wasn't great and lots of people felt that Obama had let them down. The election was Romney's to lose ~ and he did.
