Idk. His number is slipping and he knows. On Meet The Press he already said he'll bow out the moment his poll numbers start to drop. He also predicted that TV ratings on presidential coverage will drop once he's no longer in the race. He never talked like that before.

I can't believe he said that. He is more worried about ratings than the future of America

I don't think Dumbo Trumpo is for real. I think he is gonna quit soon. He is probably looking for a good exit excuse. I think he is tired of spending his own money and can't find other ways to raise funds.

A vote for Anyone other than TRUMP or Carson is like voting for one head of a two headed monster.

Trump is building up a legitimate grassroots excitement that rivals what Obama did in 2008. Meanwhile, Hillary's campaign is imploding. This email scandal is going to sink her. Even if she ultimately manages to escape criminal charges, the damage to her image and campaign will prove fatal. Democrat big wigs are beginning to realize this fact, and Hillary supporters on the ground are confused and demoralized. The universal question being asked is: how did she manage to ********** up so badly? This primary was supposed to be a coronation, and the general election a cakewalk - and yet now she won't even be the nominee. This woman is a disaster as a politician, she literally must rank as one of the worst of all time. Hillary the politician is literally just Bill Clinton's name recognition + public sympathy for her being so publicly cheated on. That's it. That's all she's ever had.

Another thing I've noticed is a lot of comments about how Trump is going to fade in the polls as soon as another GOP candidate gets the bright idea to steal his talking points and policy positions. This is false. It is true that much of Trump's appeal is his refreshingly populist stance on issues the GOP has been ignoring, but many people are still completely discounting the appeal of Trump's personality. Indeed, it seems as if most "serious" commenters are still treating Trump's personality as a liability, when in reality it is by far his greatest asset. This is going to become more clear as the GOP field narrows down and especially if Trump makes it to the general election. People don't just like Trump because he says things they agree with, they like Trump because he comes across as an alpha male, a winner, a leader. He is his message - he's a billionaire, supremely confident, never apologizing, optimistic about the future, married to a beautiful woman. The ultimate winner. America loves a winner. America wants to be a winning country again. Donald Trump is the personification of a winner and people are quite simply drawn to winners, even if they can't explain why.

MSM and the pundits pre-select candidates. Possibly the OP is trying to beef up his resume hoping to secure such a position.
Being able to tell fortunes and see the future are his unique qualifications. He will determine who is legitimate and graciously allow us to choose from his selection. We should be thankful to him as he points out, by demonstration, how votes can be channeled to the completely owned puppet of special interest, lobbyist, supper pac's almost by magic or slight of hand and the ever important magic wand. Zombies can vote but they can't think. There is no need for them to think once such enlightened and superior profits arrive to do it for them.

As we can see here on this thread many don't vote and for good reason. They see the process as being rigged. Then they don't send their brains to the laundry either.

^^^^^ Exactly. They believe that if they continue to tell us over and over and over who should win and who does not have a chance, people will start to believe and blindly follow. What they fail to realize is that it's a different ball game this go around.

Hey OP, I don't care what you say or how many times you say it, I'm voting for Trump or one of the outside candidates (aka Carson or Fiorina). We do not want or need another puppet on a string! You can put your poll (actually just an attempt to discredit the front runners and bolster the puppets) where the sun doesn't shine.
