Ever since he announced his joke of a campaign a couple of weeks ago, he has been been getting dumped by former business partners and associates who are embarrassed to be seen with him in public. To no one but Trump&#8217;s surprise, his repugnant racism directed at immigrants has insulted the fasted growing electoral demographic in the country.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/Pix\/Campaign-2016\/trump-hell-hole.jpg\" alt=\"Donald Trump Hell Hole\" width=\"800\" height=\"431\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28535\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Many (but not all) of Trump&#8217;s fellow Republican&#8217;s have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=29015\" target=\"_blank\">repudiated<\/a> his characterization of immigrants as criminals and rapists. And the all but the most ultra-conservative media outlets have recognized the idiocy of his comments and written him off as an un-serious candidate. Even corporations that are generally aligned with any Republican candidate are washing their hands of Trump.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s troubling, however, is that the Republican constituencies to whom he is addressing his hate speech are, for the time being, eating it up. In recent polls Trump has spiked up to second place behind Mr. Establishment, Jeb Bush. That exposes the GOP voters as being just as bigoted as Trump and willing to lap up his spittle-inflected rants.<\/p>\n<p>That said, anyone who worries that Trump is now a plausible contender for the GOP nomination can rest easy. The Republican electorate is as fickle as they are ignorant. Trump&#8217;s polling at this stage of the campaign is less than meaningless. For some evidence of why that&#8217;s so, take a look at some of the polls during the GOP primaries in the 2012 race. It seems every crackpot got their turn at the top for brief moment in time. The GOP leaders included Trump himself, as well as Sarah Palin and Herman Cain.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gallup.com\/poll\/147233\/huckabee-trump-romney-pace-gop-field-2012.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Huckabee, Trump, Romney Set Pace for 2012 GOP Field &#8211; April 22, 2011<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gallup.com\/poll\/147806\/romney-palin-lead-reduced-gop-field-2012.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Romney, Palin Lead Reduced GOP Field for 2012 &#8211; May 26, 2011<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gallup.com\/poll\/150617\/Cain-Ties-Romney-Atop-GOP-Field.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Cain Ties Romney Atop GOP Field &#8211; November 7, 2011<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gallup.com\/poll\/152237\/Gingrich-Maintaining-Grip-New-Lead.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Gingrich Maintaining Grip on New Lead &#8211; January 27, 2012<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gallup.com\/poll\/152840\/Santorum-Expands-Lead-Romney-Gets-Electability-Vote.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Santorum Expands Lead &#8211; February 21, 2012<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gallup.com\/poll\/149180\/perry-zooms-front-pack-2012-gop-nomination.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Perry Zooms to Front of Pack for 2012 GOP Nomination &#8211; August 24, 2011<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to this parade of losers, there was Michelle Bachmann, Ron Paul, and Rudy Giuliani, all taking turns leading the polls, despite none ever having the remotest chance of becoming president, or even their party&#8217;s nominee. That&#8217;s how crazy these freaks are.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, they all lost just as Trump is going to. Well, that&#8217;s if he ever even becomes a legitimate candidate. He still has not filed the required financial disclosures, and he has just ten days left to do so (unless he requests an extension, which he promised not to do). Even if he stays in the race he will certainly fall in the polls as voters inevitably drift toward the more mainstream candidates (i.e. Bush, Walker, etc.) as they always do in both parties.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>News Corpse Presents: The ALL NEW 2nd volume of<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So everybody calm down. Trump aint goin&#8217; nowhere. If you want to get excited about something, perhaps it should be how addle-brained your average Republican voter is. While none of the nut cases actually managed to make it into the winner&#8217;s circle, the GOP voters did flirt with them before marrying their designated loser. That&#8217;s a pretty scary statement of where they stand and what sort of leader is acceptable to them. And if you don&#8217;t get just a little nauseous knowing that the same people who thrust Palin, Cain and now Ben Carson, and Trump, to the top of the polls, are still allowed to vote in the general election, then you&#8217;ve got a stronger stomach than I do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year&#8217;s Celebrity Pretentious Republican candidate is, without a doubt, the gold-plated ego wrapped in an orange comb-over, Donald Trump.
