After Trump's recent harangue's, his numbers seem to have reached 30+% according to Breitbart. Depending on how you wish to look at polling margins, that's an increase of as much as 50% . ( 20-21% up to an alleged 30+ %)
That might be called systemic misogynism by some. I see it more as a circling of his supporters wagons.

While it is early, poll data is being used to craft policy positions, define differences, and create attack advertisements. They for certain won't let "The Donald's" remarks escape the tar bucket.

Trump's remarks are not bringing more women into the republican tent.

I think people are underestimating Trump's appeal to Democrats.

Between him and Hillary to your average, non single-issue Democrat? His appeal is huge.

Think of how many Democrats who voted for essentially a totally unqualified charismatic candidate who took virtually no solid stance on any real issue. A candidate that was totally lacking in substance, and then who once elected pushed an agenda that was never part of the political debates running up to the election.

Consider that Trump is not only charismatic, but has a clear track record of accomplishments and success. Given that so many Democrats are swayed by the image of the candidate rather than their substance, a strong candidate that actually has a record of accomplishments may be irresistable.

Trump would certainly be a change from what we now have in office. Even some Democrats understand the disaster that has befallen us, just like some understood the Carter years.

Oh yeah, he's got the Democrats worried.

I'm wondering how Trump's supporters could possibly drive up the numbers by as much as 50% no matter how much they circled the wagons. Clapper Zapper must think polling is like elections in certain strongly Democrat precincts where more than 100% of registered voters cast multiple ballots for Obama.

Yes the Democrats are clearly worried. I'm sure not ready to endorse Trump, but this is very interesting and long overdue. CZ is telling us that women will fly from Trump because he dislikes Rosie O'Donnel, but he won't abandon Hillary even if she ends up in prison for selling us out to Iran and Russia in exchange for cash for the Clinton Foundation.

If percentage points can go now greater than a hundred, chances are, he picked up supporters that previously supported one of the other candidates. That's significant. The right path would be for back markers to start bowing out gracefully.

50% of 20 is 10

The field should consolidate.
If your poll numbers haven't moved after 4 years of campaigning, you're not going to win. Save your arguments for the building of the platform at the convention.
But as it is now, starving them out seems to be the only way to cull the ineffectuals.

At least Perry finally took the hint.

So are you also saying that Hillary should take the hint and drop out after her precipitous drop in polls and the big increase in the number of voters who consider her untrustworthy?

I didn't think so.

Except for my terrible spelling, my point was. No matter how hard they circle, his supporters can't be greater in numbers than they are. He seems to be picking up additional supporters.

The big farce is, 'their gonna tear themselves apart' in the primaries and the nominee will be damaged goods. No one ever remembers the primaries.

Starving out the weaklings might be one way to look at it, but chances are, the weaklings are that way for a reason. They didn't need an entourage once they climbed up on that stage. Then again, johnny mac was travelling solo and carrying his own luggage to campaign stops last go round, lot of good that did.

"The Donald" sold out the hockey arena just down the road from my home today. Excellent turn out, modest ticket pricing, and right in the heart of Reagan democrat country.
Should be a great event.

It's inevitable that candidates will be dropping out. Jeb has a lock on the big-money crony-capitalism establishment donors. A few of the Conservatives will be able to hang in, if they can either inspire small donors or get chunks of money from wealthy libertarians. The consultant class will try to keep as many in the game for as long as possible so they can get paid. Schlubs like Lindsey Graham will probably be the next to go. I don't see Trump going away anytime soon, and once the field narrows I don't see Jeb as being strong enough to withstand him. We'll see.
