Just goes to show that while the idiots in your audience may howl with laughter while you mock the disabled, the more discerning finally woke up and expressed their disgust.

As much as I'd love to see where this goes, this specific forum is for American politics and this thread is about some of Trump's followers coming out of the spell they've been under the past few months.
Start your own thread if these are legitimate questions you have and I'll see you there.

He's still leading by 16 points.
The Republican establishment is nearing full-blown panic about Donald Trump.
The demise of Trump’s candidacy has been predicted by centrist Republicans and the media alike virtually since the day it began. But there is no empirical evidence at all to suggest it is happening...
Adding that “months ago, we all discounted Trump as a candidate,” Bonjean now acknowledged that it seems “safe to assume that he is going to continue with this strong momentum right into Iowa.”
The Iowa caucuses are set for Feb. 1, a little over two months away. Voters tend to pay less attention to politics over the holiday season than at other times, a trend that makes dramatic shifts in the race less likely during that period.
Only one more televised debate will take place before the end of the year, on Dec. 15 in Las Vegas. Beyond that, there will be only one more such clash, in January, four days before the caucuses.
“The media has twisted and turned through a number of different positions where they tried to explain that it was just a fad — the summer of Trump,” said Craig Robinson, a former political director of the Republican Party of Iowa. “Well, it’s lasted all fall. There is a realization that you are not going to wake up tomorrow and he’s going to vanish.”
Robinson, who is not affiliated with any candidate, was scathing toward those GOP centrists who assert that Trump will be unable to translate his polling support into votes because of a weak ground game.
“That is the wishful thinking of the establishment,” he said. “That is what they tell themselves so they can sleep at night. The truth is, Trump has one of the better ground operations in Iowa. Will he turn out every single person who shows up at his rallies? No. But if he turns out a fraction, he will roll over the field.”

Hopefully Trump has finally plumbed the depths of American Conservative voters and found that point where even they are disgusted.

That is what Trump holds over the republicans. He is so transparent that everybody knows if he does not get the love and respect he thinks he deserves, he will go away then get back at them. In this case, getting back at the republicans by going independent, thus assuring a republican loss in 2016.
Hopefully he stays....and when he loses it will be good to say he is a loser.

Welcome to CF Dan. This is a discussion about Donald Trump, not about the goodness or badness of God.

As a non-Christian I honestly don't care one iota if someone says "God is good" to the decline of Donald Trump. Like... who cares.
In any case. I reallllly want to see Trump crash and burn. You have no idea.

It's so early in the election that poll numbers don't matter. Most of the republicans support three or four of their candidates right now. The one with the most support (Rand Paul) isn't at the top of the polls right now because his supporters also support other candidates such as Ted Cruz

Looks like the "Trump is honest" narrative is on its last legs. I'm willing to bet that his drop in popularity is related to the fact that many people supported them because they mistook him "speaking his mind" for honesty, and that a few major lies of his have been exposed.
