not a chance.
his math does not add up.
established candidates equal 50%+ of the vote.
Once they start to drop out and the votes consolidate to one candidate, trumps toast.
No brainer IMO. Mark my words.
He has a strong floor of passionate supporters but has an incredibly firm ceiling of ppl who will NEVER vote for him.

The more candidates dropping out of the race the more less likely is for Trump to win.

Most voters are extremely fickle. If Trump shows a more "stately" side to him, he can secure the establishment vote. However, the odds of him changing his demeanor are worse than the odds of winning the Powerball...

He is his demeanor.

Go Cruz!

trump is his deMEANor
I agree
he would be a runaway favorite IF he would just be a LITTLE bit toned down.

Cruz cannot win either; terrible demeanor. Always melodramatic and lecturing. He needs to chill and be more friendly. But thats not who he is.

Christie is a bully, similar to Trump, but without his personality appeal.

Kasich has very thought out ideas, unfortunately he comes across as grumpy.

Bush lacks vision; hes more of a problem solver, but uninspiring. Plus.........hes low energy

B'kitzar.. everyones flawed.

can we add a poll question

who do you think will secure GOP nomination.
More interesting than peoples personal preferences, I think

+1 very good analysis, especially the line about Kasich Coming off as grumpy! The only thing I disagree with is is your analysis ofTrump, he is nothing without his demeanor if he toned it down no-one would know he was a candidate. His stregnth is summing people up.

I am absolutely not in favor of Trump, but this is exactly what I thought about Obama voters in 2012. 2008 is forgivable, 2012 was absolute zombie madness.

Perhaps I haven't been paying enough attention, but can you give examples of Kasich's thought out ideas?

Problem is not enough candidates will drop out in time.
Kasich, Rubio and Cruz will split too much of the vote

a couple of @realdonaldtrump tweets

Like the worthless @NYDailyNews, looks like @politico will be going out of business. Bad reporting- no money, no cred!

Worthless @NYDailyNews, which dopey Mort Zuckerman, is desperately trying to sell, has no buyer! Liabilities are massive!

Dopey Mort Zuckerman, owner of the worthless @NYDailyNews, has a major inferiority complex. Paper will close soon!

If bloomberg runs, how will his businesses write up articles about him?
