This one map proves how obsessed America is with Donald Trump

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.

View the interactive map below:

The jury's out, as far as I'm concerned, and I'm disappointed that he's more popular than other great candidates, like Cruz, Walker, Jindal, Carson and more.

Let's see, Cruz is ineligible, Jindal supports more gun control and Carson stands zero chance and never will... Trump is a moron who is going to rope-a-dope current followers. Walker might be a legit candidate however.

maybe by then we’ll have people in the House and Senate that can keep America on track for the American People....

No you won't. Almost all of them (both parties) have been bought off.

Yes, front and center with Jeb on one side and Governor Walker on his other side.

Mr. Trump is either 6’2” or 6’3”.

Do you know the heights of Bush and Walker?

I know that Rand Paul is short, so he’s actually fortunate that he’s placed 3 away from Trump, next to Cruz, (I think).

Cruz is ineligible

Apparently, only to the 1700's French. By 2015 US law he's eligible.

Interesting that a possible 3rd party candidate is involved again just when Clintons need to win. It will be Clinton, Bush, but Trump instead of Perot this time.

Here’s something else we know about Trump...

If Trump had negotiated the Iran deal Iran would be paying us to take down their centrifuges...

These bureaucrats know the media has their six.

All of the boo-hoo stories about all these nice people Trump (that meanie) fired.

But the same is true for Cruz, and Walker. They will have to clean out these agencies. It should be done loudly and in the sunlight. The congress needs to rewrite the rules for the civil service as well.

Tax delinquents are gone immediately. Others who have abuse their positions and or the taxpayers are gone. Lois Lerner should lose her pension

Well I said that I became a Republican for Reagan, but it really was because I was appalled at Johnson’s meddling with schools and everything else. Reagan just sealed it! LOL.

My husband and I were both attached to UC Berkeley as students in 1963. Kennedy addressed the student body and the faculty for Charter Day the year my husband graduated. “Pat” Brown introduced him. I was SO embarrassed because of Pat Brown’s florid and over-the-top introduction. I thought that Kennedy most likely thought he was an idiot!

Of course Kennedy was assassinated later that year, and Johnson started his various “wars” on the social and economic fabric of the country. It didn’t take long to decide that the Republican Party was the better choice and Ronald Reagan was the best of the bunch.

We moved to TX in 1973. In the mean time, the state of CA was nearly in bankruptcy. My husband had been working for UC’s Lawrence Radiation lab, and we were very close to being paid by “script”. Reagan introduced mandatory State Income tax deductions and raised the tax slightly. Prior to that, you figured and paid your State taxes sort of on the honor system. We left the state in August, so we had already paid some of our tax. To my amazement, when we filed our taxes, the following year, Reagan’s tax bureau REFUNDED the overpayment.

I was gobsmacked and have always credited Reagan for that small favor.

Congress has become much like the AFGE unionized Fed employees. Hell, the Pres and his pals plus all elected types from both Houses exempted themselves from Obamacare and they have their choice of plans like the AFGE employees.

The deal with Iran is so bad, yet; our elected prima donnas need a vacation until September to rest before they vote on it. They have done zip all year. Why start now? We need someone who is not a politician to repair this broken web of deception we have.

True. Many things are legal now that our founding fathers never envisioned much less intended with their plain words like marriage. No one could envision that ever meaning anything except a man and a woman. Yet, if we merely go back to Watergate when Hilliary was then a 27 year old lawyer, we begin to see at least one lawyer with Obama’s ethics. She was fired by one of the senior attorney’s for “being a liar, trying to subvert the constitution, plus he said something to the effect she was not going to abide by the rules.” Here we are 40 some odd years later and she is the same. I never thought I’d live to see the Lord’s prayer banned anywhere in AMERICA.
