By the way, Al Sharpton told Chris Haynes on his Wednesday night show that the Weekly Standard article is bunk!
Weekly Standard has turned into a liberal cesspool, much like RedState. Bill Kristol and Fred Barnes are ultra-progressive RINO’s, nothing more.
Here is something from a conservative website....
From Breitbart...their latest 2016 Primary poll results:
Businessman Donald Trump won August’s Breitbart Primary, surging ahead of , who won the first two Breitbart Primary straw polls.
It was the first time that Trump, who announced his presidential bid two weeks after the inaugural Breitbart Primary started in June, has won a Breitbart Primary straw poll, and his 12-point victory over Cruz in August was the largest margin of victory to date in Breitbart Primary voting.
Trump received 38.7% of the vote, followed by Cruz (26.6%), Dr. Ben Carson (10%), Carly Fiorina (5.63%), (5%), Scott Walker (3.82%), and (2.9%).
Cruz edged out Trump in last month’s Breitbart Primary, but Trump surged into the lead in the first week of August and, like in every other state and national poll, never looked back and widened his lead to 12 points over Cruz. Focusing his campaign on illegal immigration and trade deals that harm American workers and vowing not to be beholden to lobbyist and D.C. outsiders, Trump has lapped his competition in nearly every state and national poll that has been conducted in the last two months. Trump has galvanized the conservative base and is appealing to voters who usually sit out elections because they find establishment politicians from both political parties to be repulsive.
The Breitbart News audience is getting more engaged in the 2016 election, as more people voted in August’s Breitbart Primary (152,000) than in the previous two months combined. And non-politicians and anti-establishment candidates Trump, Cruz, Carson, and Fiorina accounted for 81% of the first-place votes. Establishment candidates continued to do poorly in the Breitbart Primary as former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, former Texas Governor Rick Perry, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, former New York Governor George Pataki, and
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
all failed to get even 1% of the vote.
Here are the results for August’s Breitbart Primary:
Donald Trump: 38.7%
Ted Cruz: 26.6%
Ben Carson: 10.0%
Carly Fiorina: 5.6%
Rand Paul: 5.0%
Scott Walker: 3.8%
Marco Rubio: 2.9%
John Kasich: 1.9%
Mitt Romney: 1.1%
Mike Huckabee: 0.90%
Jeb Bush: 0.90%
Rick Perry: 0.4%
Bobby Jindal: 0.5%
Chris Christie: 0.2%
Rick Santorum: 0.2%
George Pataki: 0.10%
Lindsey Graham: 0.08%
Walker, who placed second in the inaugural Breitbart Primary, Paul, and Rubio continued to struggle to gain traction in August. All three candidates have struggled to break out from the pack in national and state polling as well.

Wow, conservatives voting in BIG numbers, for Trump. Go figure.
I'm so glad you posted the results!
Be sure to vote in the new Breitbart poll! I have.
Back to my original post regarding Sharpton. I watched the rerun of Haynes's MSNBC show and even AL SHARRPTON could smell this fraudulent article from the jump! LOL.
He said, "this is an act of desperation, Trump never gave me any money. I would see him when he was with Don King." Haynes said, "Go ahead and endorse TRUMP - the kiss of death." Sharpton laughed and said, "maybe later on."
I have not read the Weekly Standard article, and don't intend to.
I like those numbers, but I generally take all the numbers with a grain of salt.
I agree with your take that many of the people we have believed to be on our side, are now revealing themselves to be GOPe fellow travelers.
It’s sad to see.
If we were honest with ourselves, we knew this already, so it’s not that big of a surprise. It’s still shocking to see the extent of it.
