He will get the nomination. Who is going to stop him? Jeb Bush?

IMO If Trump gets the nomination then HRC can go ahead and starting picking out the drapes for the Oval Office. For all of Trump's accolades, his constituents are located in Red States/Flyover Country. There aren't enough people in those areas alone to win the election and Trump isn't moderate enough to flip any voters on the coasts. Can the Donald get those conservatives who decided to stay home for Romney to vote for him? It seems unlikely.

Believe it or not, Trump's strongest appeal is actually in the Northeast.

Quote:Regionally, Trump's strongest support is in the Northeast, where 35% back him. Rubio's best performance is in the West, where he gets 19% support, and Cruz and Carson both do best in the South, at 19%.

Yep, it should have been pretty clear very early on with the blatant lack of details on anything. But...populism is so seductive that it's easy to get sucked in by it. He doesn't know how to stop the train without taking a monumental loss in all credibility. The farce has gotten way to big to manage.
