Well, its another day, so its time for another mind-blowing Donald Trump poll. The latest comes from CBS News/YouGov, and it gives El Trumpo a whopping 40 percent of likely GOP primary voters in New Hampshire. Trump also leads in Iowa with 29 percent; in South Carolina, hes at 39 percent.
If youre a Trump skeptic, like me, at this point you might be tempted to give in, log into Trumps online store, and buy a camouflage Make America Great hatThe Donald sported one during his recent rock star Iowa appearanceso that you can stealthily blend into the forest when the inevitable Trump-led apocalypse arrives.
Trump, as most of us know, makes no sense, and hes remarkably consistent when it comes to his inconsistency. In one hour, hes telling Bill OReilly we have to take Syrian refugees for humanitarian reasons; the next, hes telling Sean Hannity we cant possibly do so, because we have so many problems of our own. When Trump isnt stem-winding about his own terrific greatness, hes tossing off quasi-tyrannical policy prescriptions as casually as a late-morning omelet order on the sun-dappled patio of the Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat.
Yet, amazingly, here we are, with the glorious Summer of Trumppowered by the whirr of gleaming helicopter blades, the off-gassing of various squints, and a soothing visual carpet made of carefully folded golden locksmarching confidently into fall.
My take on Trump is fairly simple: Hes a visceral response to a feminized culture. Talk to a selection of Trump admirers, and youll hear the same line over and over again: He has balls. (Or, as one of the less-blunt responders put it, testicular fortitude.) This is not a coincidence, nor a meaningless turn of phrase....

Deal with it.
It is very difficult, as most of us know, to continue reading a piece after this statement.
Except I don’t want to read more at realclearpolitics... :)
‘Summer of Trump’, they’ll be using that at Christmas..
....because stopping illegal immigration makes no sense. /s
Sheesh.
Will Fiorina Fall Into Trump’s Trap?
Yes.
I’m glad Trump has not responded to her. Let CNN and others pump her up. I believe it will be her downfall.
Fiorina got a pass in the last debate. The moderates and liberals said she won the debate but she wasn’t even in the main debate so we don’t even know how she would have done. She attacked Trump in a debate that Trump wasn’t in and couldn’t respond to. And like Levin said she immediately inserted herself into the Megan Kelly situation when she didn’t have to. Carly hurt herself and we’ll see what happens tonight.
She already has
If trump acts like a water weenie in washington I am ok with that
She has already fell into a trap, now she is desperate to claw her way out, I suspect she will need to chew off one or two limbs to escape her self inflicted trappings, which leaves her badly in need of some sort of life saving treatment.
Finally someone mentions the obvious. She’s at 4% in the polls. Even less in some and all of the media including Fox are still saying she’s ‘surging’. Such BS.
Well, I guess that's true if you have your head up your a$$.
The Trumpinator’s message: Come with me if you want to live.
The GOPe’s message: Whatever the Dems want is OK!
We Trump Supporters are gaining in support....and there is a mixture of us...
It just gets the best of all those who either doesn’t want to see it, or they see it but don’t have the guts to accept it...
Trump Supporters 100% behind Trump!!!
[Shes at 4% in the polls. Even less in some and all of the media including Fox are still saying shes surging.]
They may have the graph upside down.
I never quite understood this.
Fiorina does a rally at a women only group. Perfectly ok. Unsexist.
Can you imagine if Trump did a men only rally? Totally sexist.
Fiorina is going down in flames because she cannot help but play the victim. If the terrorists are watching they are hoping she becomes prez. If she falls apart by being called a few names, the terrorists conclude she will evaporate when they blow her up.
Ailes and the GOPe are desperate. Yeb has failed them and they just don’t get how made the base is at them.
Smell the fear...
