Oh yeah??
Trump and Jebbie Fav/Unfav numbers pretty close now. People are more paying attention to him, and not a perceived reputation.
Well, well, well. This is quite interesting. Funny how many were quoting Chris’s article just a couple weeks ago.
Don’t beat yourself up too badly. I didn’t think Trump was serious at first. He got my attention with his announcement speech. Then he earned my respect for his stand on illegal immigration and for bringing attention to the victims of illegals.
Now I have found him to have the most impressive tax plan I have seen anywhere. I look forward to the details of his other positions that are given in his revised book, “Time To Get Tough”.
I find it impossible to not like Donald Trump and admire his achievements. We could have a winning team with Cruz on the ticket to keep him grounded in Conservatism and the Constitution.
The WaPo writer still doesn’t understand it. He understands the numbers and why his assessment was so wrong, but he doesn’t begin to understand why.
To do that, he’d have to believe that the historic victory Americans gave Congress were not an endorsement and approval of their past performance, but one rather of “here’s your last chance, sucker. don’t f@ck it up.”
They did and somebody came along and told us all in no uncertain terms what these illegal little Mexicans [my definition is any illegal entering here from our southern border] really mean for us as a sovereign nation.
He also, like the establishment Republican leadership, politicians, pundits and consultants, voiced our high disdain for that diversity “illegals bring us a richness” meme crap.
The bottom line is Americans who work and pay taxes aren’t buying into the notion we have to pander to that thought in order to get a few more percentage points of legal immigrant Hispanics under the tent if it means 50 million more illegals converted to instant Democrat voters.
Chris doesn’t understand it, Jebito doesn’t understand it. He’s too invested in his Mexican heritage.
There’s little nor nothing new as to any article in which Chris Cilizza is wrong. It would be monumental, however, to find an article where Chris Cilizza is right. This might be the first headline I’ve ever read of his where he is being accurate. As long as he doesn’t call himself a lying scumbag piece of crap, I guess we’ll be OK.
Looks like the wizzards of smart have some adjustments to make
bfl
This is the new strategy to get rid of Bush/Clinton opposition. They are going to pretend to like Trump. Lol
The author made the same mistake commie metrosexuals always make: they don’t believe that conservatism is actually believed. When conservative Republicans start to believe Trump is one of them, his numbers will go up.
He was wrong because he looked at worthless info and considered it valuable.
Favorable/unfavorable is a snap shot, subject to the population’s fickleness, just look at Hillary’s collapsing favorability. It doesn’t predict anything, if anything it’s a trailing indicator.
Those who are saying Donald Trump has no chance of becoming president at this early stage must have some plan to get rid of him if he does make it. I can’t think of any other reason at this time with his poll numbers as to why they would say that.
He still has no clue as to what Trump’s appeal is.

Yes. And the change was a massive improvement in our economy, incredible growth of jobs, universal health care and the end to two terrible wars that Americans did not support. Just to mention the highlights. Not bad for a "community organizer."
What a moron.
CRUZ/TRUMP (preferred -- 8 years of that and then flip the ticket) or TRUMP/CRUZ (ditto). Or Cruz with Trump in the administration. Any of the above works.
No Bush, Clinton, Paul, or Rubio.
Walker? Jindal? Carson? I dunno. Thoughts, Freepers?
I can tell him.
Because he didn't listen to Trump's speech, or he really does not give a damn about America and he should probably quit trying to play being a journalist or reporter.
Those who listened to his 6/16/2015 announcement speech and not realized this guy was going to the top, are completely detached and probably should stay far away politics.
All great comments. I can feel the positive energy and excitement in each post. Isn’t it wonderful to actually have someone to believe in, someone to be “our champion”.
I would like to add that IMHO it is not easy being Donald Trump and how well he hides the pressure of managing his life now with this new endeavor. It takes a lot of courage and belief in your own abilities to step up during these very strange times for America. Thank you all.
