The guy who called for a halt to all Muslims entering the United States, mass deportation, called for a boycott to Starbucks for its holiday cups, said that the United States is the only country 'stupid enough' to have birthright citizenship (specifying that Mexico doesn't, even though it does), constantly attacks other candidates over superficial reasons, denies it, makes insane propaganda adds, makes up lies about illegal immigrants, had a spokeswoman on CNN who said, "So what, they're Muslim" etc. etc. is in the lead by a (h)UUUGE margin in the latest GOP national poll.

According to the results of the latest Monmouth University poll surveying voters identifying as Republican or independents leaning toward the GOP, Trump earned 41 percent, nearly tripling the support of his closest rival, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who took 14 percent.

41%... oh my god.
I can't believe it's that high. Wow, it seems like Donald Trump actually has a real chance of being the next POTUS.

Nearly six in 10 Republican voters agree with Donald Trump's call to temporarily ban all Muslims from the United States in the wake of recent terrorist attacks, according to the results of the latest ABC News/Washington Post survey out Monday afternoon.

Jesus... O_O

I was actually kind of rooting for him to be the republican nominee in the beginning, because I thought he was too crazy for America to vote him in. So therefore, if it was Bernie vs. Trump, Bernie would almost certainly win.
But apparently I underestimated how many lunatics there are in this country.

So, what do you guys think about these new polls? Sorry about the broad range in percentages, but there's only a certain number of poll options there can be.

I voted 2a and 2c.
Based on the polls now, and the polls we've been having for months, Donald Trump is the front-runner in the republican party. The more crazy shit he says, the more his poll numbers go up. His craziness seems to reside with nearly half of republicans, and even a lot of independents. So, unfortunately, I think he'll most likely be the republican nominee.
In the Presidential election, I think he'd most likely lose by a tiny amount. According to the most recent polls, both Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton would beat Trump in the Presidential election.

It is indeed scary to think that he has an actual chance of winning, I don't know whether or not he would win the election and become president, but I sincerely hope that it doesn't happen.

^Yeah, it is.
Are you the one who voted for 1a and 1c? If so, why?

[Red]

^Yeah, it is.
Are you the one who voted for 1a and 1c? If so, why?

1a was me.

[EquALLity]

^Ah, so why did you choose it? Did you choose 1c too?

[Red]

^Ah, so why did you choose it? Did you choose 1c too?

I chose 1a because it would be extremely amusing to watch an orangutang beat all parties members of both sides and actually run the country and command a military.

However I didn't choose 1c. That was probably Insert.

[EquALLity]

^Hahaha, it's not what you think would be the most amusing. It's what you think will happen.

Oh, maybe the poll design is unclear.
It's intended for you to choose an outcome (1a, 2a, or 3a), and then to choose the percentage of the likeliness you believe in your outcome (the b or c option corresponding to your chosen outcome).

[Insert name here]

^Yeah, it is.
Are you the one who voted for 1a and 1c? If so, why?

I voted 1c because I do think he has a real chance of winning, as terrifying as that might be. But on a semi related note, when I typed the word "Terrifying" it was autocorrected into "terrorism" and "terrorist."

I view Trump's troll campaign as more or less a direct result of Obama's political correctness and islamophilia. This is what happens when you refuse to name the problem

[EquALLity]

^Obama's 'political correctness and islamophilia'?
Is this about his refusal to say 'Islamic terrorism'? How is that loving Islam?
And how does not saying 'Islamic terrorism' do anything but help the President? It would hurt our relationship with our allies in the middle east (many that are fighting ISIS) if the President used that kind of rhetoric.
What good do you think it'd do for him to use the term 'Islamic terrorism', anyway?

Not to mention, people like Trump never call terrorism inspired by Christianity 'Christian terrorism'. For some reason, that stuff only applies to Islam...
