      1. Okay, here's what I'm talking about right here: poll shows Trump holding steady at 24%, Jeb in steep decline http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/08/10/us-usa-election-poll-idUSKCN0QF1WL20150810?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews&utm_source=twitter …

      2. first sentence: "Donald Trump continued to defy the laws of political gravity" Is Trump defying "laws" or do you misunderstand politics?

      3. Perhaps the political "laws of gravity" are not laws. Perhaps your understanding of politics is not Newtonian by Ptolemaic.

      4. You can call yourself a conservative but if you live in NYC, make $100,000 per year & have a college degree, Trump makes no sense

      5. The really significant poll numbers are the collapse of Rand Paul, the candidate who most frontally attacked Trump at debate.

      6. Paul's collapse carries a lesson the other candidates will heed. Don't go after Trump openly. Uses proxies. Use adds. Use FOX news.

          @HeerJeet You misspelled "adze", though honestly the hair would probably take a few swings to penetrate.

          @HeerJeet Also a reminder that Paul's favorable polls are based on people not knowing much about him.

          @HeerJeet I think the longer he's in the race, the more GOP voters will attach themselves to his "I don't give a fuck about you" attitude

          @HeerJeet This needs some added support - they presumably don't draw from the same voters. Your 100k educated/NYCer is Paul's person, no?

          @HeerJeet I know educated people who like Trump. It's the radical right who supports him. Impoverished feel wronged by status quo.

          @HeerJeet priviledged rightists who don't feel wronged by the status quo and don't find his boorish rejection of social mores appealing.
