Sure, Trump and his followers would love to have the election while he is ahead in the polls. It is highly unlikely they will stay that way - and I am sure at least Trump recognizes that (though it seems likely that his devoted fans do not).
There is a long, long way to go and to assume Trump will be the leader throughout is silly.
What is YOUR assessment and WHO do you want as President and Vice President
“There is a long, long way to go and to assume Trump will be the leader throughout is silly.”
I heard Newt Gingrich cite the stats from the previous 5 - 6 elections concerning the front runner at this particular stage in the election. It is bad news for you; except for two instances, the front runner at this point won the nomination.
“to assume Trump will be the leader throughout is silly.”
Optimistic, perhaps. Something that few conservatives have felt for decades. If Trump is not elected President, nothing will change. Everyone else, excepting Cruz, are members of the Uniparty.
And if President Trump can’t effect any change at all, then this country is done for real. Only a catastrophe of Biblical proportions would alter this country’s slide into Fabian socialism and worse. In 10 years, this country will be where Europe is: overrun by 3rd world peasants, criminals and gangs of every ethnic and religious stripe conceivable.
No, it is not silly to assume Trump remains the front runner. I agree that he could slip but it is not silly to think he won’t, especially given the depth of support he has among independents and democrats.
