“I love the Tea Party,” Trump said. “You people have not been treated fairly. These are people who work hard and love their country, and then get beat up by the media. It’s disgusting.” “You don’t know how big you are,” he told listeners. “The Tea Party has tremendous power. It’s Democrats, it is evangelicals, it is everybody.”

Trump was declared the first choice Republican presidential candidate with 52% of the vote, as well as the top pick for attendees’ second choice, with 26%. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and former neurosurgeon Ben Carson were the second and third choices, respectively, in the NFRA straw poll for first and second-choice candidates. Trump =52%
Cruz = 26%
Trump + Cruz = 78%
This is a Duopoly market.
Trump + Cruz blows away the opposition.
I see a merger in the future

Sandra Dickinson’s comment on msnbc re this:”You really have to be a misogynistic, bigoted, braindead person to even think about voting for Trump. I mean honestly some people have taken their brains out and thrown them in the trash when it comes to their support for this guy.”
I would take offense but I am still laughing!!!

Breitbart poll at the site shows Trump at 38%, Cruz at 26%. Next closest are Carson and Farino in single digits. Wish election were this fall. Would feel a lot better about all of this.

He gets it.
The GOP does, too, but their reaction is to fight us.

Have you gotten the message yet, GOP Establishment?
To: Lurkinanloomin
The GOP does, too, but their reaction is to fight us. True, true, but as the saying goes, there are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen:
...those who watch things happening:
...and those who wonder what happened:
