Why Donald Trump Won’t Fold: Polls and People Speak

A review of public polling, extensive interviews with a host of his supporters in two states and a new private survey that tracks voting records all point to the conclusion that Mr. Trump has built a broad, demographically and ideologically diverse coalition, constructed around personality, not substance, that bridges demographic and political divides.

In doing so, he has effectively insulated himself from the consequences of startling statements that might instantly doom rival candidates.


In poll after poll of Republicans, Mr. Trump leads among women, despite having used terms like “fat pigs” and “disgusting animals” to denigrate some of them. He leads among evangelical Christians, despite saying he had never had a reason to ask God for forgiveness.

He leads among moderates and college-educated voters, despite a populist and anti-immigrant message thought to resonate most with conservatives and less-affluent voters.

He leads among the most frequent, likely voters, even though his appeal is greatest among those with little history of voting.

He is a phenomenon who's time has come. Fingers crossed that the rest of the voters see that changes mean the country will be better off with the silent majority finally speaking up.

These liberals have been fucking up America for to long, they should move their ass's to some third world country instead of trying to turn America into one

Boy, do I agree with you!

The bolded above is incorrect: his support is not broad ideologically at all.

Right now it rests on the white disaffected far right, the nativists, and a few who want something to shake up the possibilities. The last part I grok.

Bush has the ability to stay with Trump throughout the season, so it is going to be a long haul.

He's in it to win.. the only "america first" candidate out there.

Blame the Beaners folding? I sure as hell hope not. Talk it up DT.

You just don't want to acknowledge that some Democrats might be coming along for a wonderful ride...to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

You are right. There will be no lobbyists, will deal with foreign countries that have us under a barrel, and bring jobs back to America. He means what he says...America First. We will be great again.

I think a Kasich and Biden race is more likely if it is not Bush, Trump, and Clinton.
