Can Donald Trump be defeated in the Republican presidential primaries?

Yes.

The safe answer, if one were inclined to place a bet at this stage of the game, is a pretty clear "No."

Yes, Trump could definitely be defeated.

Donald Trump can be beat.

I agree, but are you sure about that? ;)

And he's sitting comfortably above 50 percent in the GOP polls.

Trump was actually beaten by Cruz and tied with Rubio in GOP delegate count after the Iowa caucuses (the polls that matter), whereupon Trump (of course) accused Cruz of fraud (in a tweet) and called for the results to be nullified and a new election. Trump also urged Republican Party of Iowa chairman Jeff Kaufmann to invalidate the results of the 2016 caucuses. #SSDD

Cruz actually went on to win 11 states in 2016... so, yes, Trump can definitely be beaten if Republicans can work together for the good of our country... *bursts out laughing*

The latest news of the audio tape where he's waving classified documents around and showing off how cool they are is not a good example of fire safety. If he is indicted on the documents case, his supporters may be totally ready to dismiss it as a witch hunt. But the Republican Party leadership and the big donors may not have the same reaction, and he needs those people too. Trump could self-immolate in some spectacular fashion.
