If it gets closer to the actual vote and it looks like he has a chance of winning they'll start changing rules/putting out a lot of money to try to stop him, and if all else fails they may try to swing a brokered convention to force him out.
    If the survey was via landline+cell wouldn't that still gauge a more accurate view of voters? Typically older people vote and typically older people still own landlines. There is a lot of preference towards someone like Sanders or Rand Paul, but these people are young people who do not vote and believe awareness is just as effective as actually doing something. I agree the survey is bias through this method but would be far more accurate than something like an online poll or doing multiple methods like in person + call + online poll because then people could vote multiple times.

    Again, most hard (older) republicans, or at least shown by mainstream media do not like Trump. I do not know for a fact, but am given the impression that people who like Trump are not older or younger but are middle-aged working class who want to see results.

    Some may disagree but I think he has a shot for the simple reason that he has too much money.

    Donal Trump can say everything against women, minorities and other religions and it wouldn't mater.
    Well, maybe... but look who is gaining in the polls, and look who is dropping:

    Fiorina Rising, Trump falling.


    Carly Fiorina’s strong performance at last week’s primetime Republican debate has catapulted her into second place behind Donald Trump in the race for the GOP presidential nomination, a new CNN/ORC national poll shows.

    According to the survey, conducted three days after the Sept. 14 debate, Fiorina has 15 percent support among Republican and Republican-leaning voters, up from just 3 percent in August. The former Hewlett-Packard chief executive is one point ahead of retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson (14 percent), down 5 points from the previous poll.

    Meanwhile, support for Trump’s candidacy — which stood at 32 percent in August — has slipped to 24 percent, the new poll shows.

    Trump, Fiorina and Carson are the only candidates in the Republican field who have not held public office.
