Yes! It's a great plan!

Real-estate mogul Donald Trump is absolutely crushing his GOP presidential rivals - both in polls, and when it comes to Google searches.
On Tuesday, Google Trends published an interactive county-by-county map of US searches for the various Republican candidates.
And Trump by far appears to be drawing the most interest in almost every state. His color code, red, sweeps the country from Alaska to Florida.
The one exception to Trump's apparent dominance, interestingly, is in Wisconsin, where local Gov. Scott Walker (R) leads many of the counties. No other Republican candidate holds his or her home state against Trump.
The results aren't necessarily surprising: Trump has had a near-monopoly of presidential media coverage and has led in most of the recent polls of the Republican primary.
Google pegged the results to the upcoming GOP debate on Thursday.

Interesting
I’d love to hear from FReepers who were alive during Reagan’s rise in the 70’s. It’s my understanding that he was not taken seriously initially but was widely admired and respected after the Carter administration’s bungling of America.
Is it possible that Trump could be the next Reagan, or is this a flash in the pan sort of candidacy?
It’s not a flash in the pan. The question is how much control the elite and their media enablers have over voting.
WOW!
Donald Trump was actually the most searched in my Mississippi county, too!!!
FReep mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
A Trump win would be almost like ditching both parties.
That sounds rather appealing.
Eat the Uniparty!
Serious wake-up call especially for GOP
I think a lot of lefties are freaking out because their smear campaigns aren’t working. It’s almost like the American electorate is waking up!
I think the fact the dems are pushing the starbucks guy to run in an indication that the Donald is polling ahead of the Hilldabeast, and today would beat her in a head-to-head.
just my $.02
Having Google demographically pinpoint why Trump is leading the polls shows the desperation of the GOP-e and Democrat parties. TRUMP is like a political ‘super virus’ with not ‘cure.’
That’s impressive.
I always took RWR seriously and was upset and angry when his bid for the nomination failed in ‘76. Gerald Ford went onto lose to the peanut farmer.
RWR was always the ‘happy warrior,’ and much smarter than the hateful news media ever credited him.
I think Senator Cruz has RWR’s same demeanor and he also has a photographic memory.
President Cruz would be the next RWR, whereas President Trump would be an earthquake that shakes the entire world.
I’m down in SW Florida this week in Lee County. The cab driver who picked us up at the airport is from Jersey. Said the job market was good here and that he’s voting for Trump and sw FL is trump country. Started his own car service. Said it was east to start a business down here.
Good one
Smiling!
I’ll have a look at Wisconsin!!!
BTW, I have searched Google for Governor Walker.
Unfortunately, in my county, Jeb was the second most searched.
Yes! It's a great plan!
This kind of data was not available during the period leading up to the election of President Reagan.
It is hard to compare what we see on this map with what the media was saying then and of course the media then is slightly different then it is today.
I look at this data and say this is amazing across the board data if it is not tweaked.
I do not know if Trump can be the “next Reagan” or ever be the “next Reagan”. Trump is being elected in a different time and era with different problems. He is faced with a NO amnesty decision where President granted amnesty. Trump must be an Eisenhower and perform an Operation Wetback II across America.
Trump is looking a comparable unemployment rate that has been manipulated by Big Brother. I believe Trump can help reduce the “real” unemployment figure.
The debt. Like Reagan, Trump understands we have to grow our way out of it.
Not only was I alive during Reagan’s rise, I lived in CA at the time. I became a Republican for Reagan and voted for him in every election he ever ran in — 4 times in CA and then 5 times nationally when I lived in TX.
I can assure you that nobody near where I lived either place thought Reagan had a chance. I lived in N. CA at the time he became governor and nobody would admit to supporting him. He received an overwhelming vote from S. CA. But, upon analysis, the vote showed considerable support in N. CA too — it just was silent.
I was alone again in TX because favorite sons, John Connelly and George H. W. Bush, were both challenging Reagan — at least in the first election. The big knock on Reagan was that he was “too old” and I heard that even from older ladies. He was an indefatigable campaigner and he sure didn’t look old in person. He always had a quip, in every speech.
People forget that the aura of “St. Reagan” did not arise until after he left office.
Two things similar about Reagan and Scott Walker is that they both battled excesses in their respective University cabals. And they both battled unions and won.
