Right now, nobody has topped 37% nationally, so at the moment, regardless of who's leading, 63% of republicans are choosing someone else. As more candidates drop out of the nomination race, what i'd like to know is whether or not there is a percentage beyond which the donald just won't pull any more, or will he take a healthy chunk out of every attrition? Either way, we'll find out soon enough. JL My real question about trump is whether or not he has a "ceiling."

I hadn't heard that one. I do like Y'all Qaeda and Vanilla ISIS too. I hope the feds have shut off the heat, lights, and water and surrounded the building and closed the road. They don't need to give the terrists the shoot-out that they want. They should just freeze them out. That is good, but shouldn't it be YeeHawDists? I hadn't heard that one.

He said that Vanilla ISIS should not be lawless terrists, but that he sympathizes with their cause. If you're going to be a terrist, it really is good to be white. Everyone should have the liberty to set for-profit wild fires on public property! I think you've written Frothy Santorum just as he's turning it up to 11.

Trump: events are moving me into headwear consumption! Cruz: the evil genius. Scary. Possible. Too possible. Where are the adults? Sad. Still hoping the American public take a look at the Republican nominee and either say: Hillary or Stay at home. Carson: toast - agreed.

Trump: events are moving me into headwear consumption!

Cruz: the evil genius. Scary. Possible. Too possible.

Where are the adults? Sad.
