I really haven't seen any recent work done on Trump's supporter demographics, so I compiled a bit of my own. I used the data from CNN's exits polls found here:
2016 Election Center
And I specifically used the exit polls from South Carolina, Virginia, Texas, Illinois, Florida, Ohio, and North...
It is the conventional wisdom that today (Tuesday, the 15th of March), GOP voters will be deciding whether to give Donald Trump a public spanking, or a 'yuuge' embrace. I tend to be a little more critical and nuanced. I see today's elections as more of a choice between the devil they know, and...
Well, in case Trump supporters actually were questioning whether or not Trump would be beneficial for increasing world opinion or American influence globally...think again.
Here is a float created by the German people of Trump...seems pretty accurate.

I've done my fair share of Elephant bashing in this forum. Thus far, the petty attacks and rhetoric from the GOP candidates has been embarrassing and pretty pathetic. I must say, they really stepped it up tonight and put on a great substantive debate. I wish they would have done this sooner and...
Republican voters are fed up with moderates, the beltway crowd, GOP elites. Guys like McConnell, McCain, Bush, Ryan. They are all about reaching across the aisle, compromising, forming consensus. That sounds so civilized, except that their idea of compromise is giving in to what the democrats...
Question to all the Trumpeters... If there is a contested convention that ends with a different nominee than Trump, how do you see him responding? Hostilely or Graciously?
I have very little doubt that there will be a very hostile reaction, talks of a lawsuit, and a high probability that he...
Politifact Ranks Trump’s Penis Size Comment as "Pants-on-Fire"
caught lying again...he's going to have to whip that baby out to back up his "guarantee"
An interesting catch phrase or words so coded its meaning is lost on most? When was or wasn't America great? Doesn't that depends on who is making the call. How did an outsider, a person who goes against every policy republicans promote become their candidate of choice. How? The answer is...
Many key congressional republicans have vowed to not even consider a hearing or vote to nominate a new Supreme Court Justice if it is an Obama appointee. There have been accusations from the Left claiming that this is an example of the GOP's racist bigotry against the President. What do you...
The latest poll in South Carolina shows Kasich in second place. There doesn't seem to have been a national poll taken since New Hampshire but I suspect he will also move up into the runner-up spot when one is taken. Can he be a real alternative to Trump or is it too late? How do you think he...
Well, the results are in and Christie finished 6th. Seems like that is the end of the line for him. Will he endorse one of the other candidates? It seems like he could play king maker now. It's unlikely that he will endorse Rubio since he torpedoed his campaign Saturday so, if he's going to...
Anybody watch the debate last night?
My impressions:
Rubio didn't perform very well. He seemed to have a standard rant that he wanted to deliver and he worked it into his first several replies even if it had nothing to do with the question. He looked flustered and probably hurt himself with...
Well, it looks like the Donald makes his own rules and Fox won't play by them so he refuses to participate. Will this hurt him or help him with the Iowa voters?
It seems he has now defined Fox News as part of "the Establishment". How will that affect his relationship with them going forward?
Next year could be the greatest America has ever seen. I believe the man who supports the same conservative values as President Ronald Reagan, is Senator Marco Rubio. In addition, Rubio is the only Conservative candidate who can beat Hillary Clinton. If either Donald Trump or Ted Cruz win the...
Fact of the matter is... none of the top candidates show strong promise.
Trump is great at firing people up and is by far the most entertaining candidate to listen to, however, he is so off the wall with his extreme ideas for immigration/national security and so reactionary with his defensive...
In an interview Wednesday, Mr. Dole said that the party would suffer “cataclysmic” and “wholesale losses” if Mr. Cruz was the nominee, and that Donald J. Trump would fare better.
“I question his allegiance to the party,” Mr. Dole said of Mr. Cruz. “I don’t know how often you’ve heard him say...
Does anybody really respect Sarah Palin on a political level? I know she got popular with the VP nomination that ended up bombing McCains campaign, then used her popularity to start a reality TV show, however, I hear many conservatives talking about this influence that she has... I just don't...
Will the Iowa caucus results cause any of the current candidates to give up? How about New Hampshire? South Carolina?
Or will they all hang in there until the tsunami of primaries in March?
The latest poll in New Hampshire (link below) shows Trump leading with the support of 21% of likely Republican primary voters followed by Rubio at 15% and Kasich at 13%, . However, if you look at the details of the poll, the breakdown of those voters who are registered Republican vs "Undeclared"...

Recent takeover of GOP by "movement conservatives" is actually a fascist movement. The GOP is no longer an organized political party for national governance--it is an insurgent movement. Read the original article at Salon.com.
