This really isn't getting enough attention, and it was the most interesting part of his ridiculous speech IMO. If any other GOP candidate says this, they're doomed. I'm still wrapping my head around it, but it's clear that Donald is playing by different rules.

Actually...

Basically, right wing populism isn't actually significantly in line with the current GOP on many issues. The GOP retains control of them mostly through manipulating their spite.

Trump really only has a chance of holding it together so long as Walker and Bush keep the establishment and neocon wings split. Either's supporters would likely fall behind the other, while Trump's primary support probably can't exceed about a third, even accounting for a more extremist primary demographic.

I think it's going to play out like a game of chicken between the superNeocon and Establishment wings for their respective candidate to stay in the race. If neither backs down or suffers a major setback, Trump could potentially claim enough primaries for a full scale Tea Party revolt. If that happens, the choice becomes Trump or forfeiting the election, bar a major Democratic catastrophe.

Trump can't get more than ~30% of the primary vote. People will drop out and their voters will filter to Bush and Walker

Not everyone: Cruz and Carson voters will probably flow to Trump. Maybe Jindal too. I assume all the Perry voters that liked Trump have already jumped ship.

e: besides ~30% of the vote is enough so long as Walker and Bush are splitting it.

Just on Meet the Press --- NBC Post debate Poll:

#1 Trump - 23%
#2 Cruz - 13%
#3 Carson - 11%
#4 Fiorinia - 8%
#4 Rubio - 8%

Moe +/- 3.4%
August 7th-8th

Bush and Walker fall out of the Top 5, Kasich falls out of the Top 10.

It will be interesting to see what other polls show, this poll is a HUGE shake-up. Cruz was averaging around 6th place and between 5 and 6%. Fiorina wasn't registering. Carson was around 5th place and 6%. Rubio was BEHIND Bush and Walker as the establishment candidate.

rofl if this holds up this is cataclysmic for the GOP
