How else do you explain 33% of Republicans saying they would want Donald Trump as their President?
While Trumps 33% is 20% higher than his next highest competitor, it is far from insurmountable. Look at it this way....67% of Republicans do NOT want Trump as President. That 67% is divided among 15 candidates, that is why Trumps numbers appear so high. Once candidates start to drop out, their supporters will not go to Trump, they will go to one of the remaining other candidates and Trumps lead will diminish
Who are the 33% that support Trump? The same low information voters who support the Tea Party, who cheer when the government is shut down, who think anyone from any walk in life is better qualified than a career politician
BS --- Triple BS ------ I support Trump, and I'm very knowledgeable. ONLY ignorant stupid anti-America fools would vote for a professional politician. Look at the sad shameful state of this once great nation and then think of how it got to be this way. Over the past 60 plus years, stupid damn voter have continuously voted to elect, or to re-elect, professional politicians to serve in government. Obviously, the results speak for themselves.
