nothing he says or does seems to affect his poll numbers though, and its looking like they wont, realistically hes been CRUSHING everyone for 5 straight months now and Iowa is only 2 months away
IMHO, there is ONE way the repubs can beat him. They have to get being ONE candidate. They can't split loyalties between cruz, rubio and carson. They have to settle for ONE and unite all their $ and resources to beat trump.
And they have to time it JUST RIGHT so that he doesn't have time to organize a 3rd party run, as he hinted this week he would consider if the GOP gangs up on him.
The elders and respected voices in the party - they all KNOW he's not a fuggin republican. The only people loving him are part-time repubs that whore around, voted bill clinton, did drugs for years, then just decided they hated obama, possibly due to a pigmentation issue.
