I went astray once. How I ended up in the Vatican dressed like a French accountant is still a mystery. I still get Christmas cards from the pope though.

If not for the LSM avoiding asking him all the tough questions, or vetting and holding him to his hypocrisy, there wouldn't be a Trump in the race.
So yes, the LSM is not only responsible, but they're keeping him front page above the fold.

The MSM is keeping Trump in the headlines just like they did with McCain and Romney. However, this time it will not help Trump get the nomination. It is really helping us because Trump is hurting RINO's and not conservatives. This is fine as Trump will begin to fade when the votes are counted.

Can't find where you got that unfavorability rating from but it looks old.

That poll says absolutely nothing beyond perception.
They weren't polled as to whom "they preferred", rather they were asked who they "Perceived" would be selected.
With all the media hype over Trump, the LSM is doing the exact same thing the Establishment has done to the Right for decades, given people the sense of an inevitably for their chosen RINO.

It's an illusion that Trump has a built in inevitably factor, which he does not, but what he does have is a gullible public that believes headlines.
That was the purpose behind your link, to expose how the LSM was manipulating the public.

Here' what your link states.

"Our latest national telephone survey finds that 57% of Likely Republican Voters now think Trump is likely to be the Republican presidential nominee next year, with 25% who say it's Very Likely. That compares to 27% who felt a Trump nomination was likely two months ago when he formally announced his presidential bid, a finding that included just nine percent (9%) who said it was Very Likely."

Here's the entire poll.

1* How likely is it that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee for president in 2016?

Thanks for posting this, it proves what I've been saying for decades, that the voters are manipulated in to
electing the candidate they're told to, by making them believe they have no other option, and that's exactly what's going on here with Trump, only this time it's the left out maneuvering the GOP, which in itself is rather humorous, because that leaves the base to select a true Conservative and leave both Marxist party's out in the cold for playing us.

  Never claimed the msm "made him". I guess lots of us "go astray".

I claimed Trump is a media creation, and I stand by that claim.

   well, my assumption came from the fact you were addressing my post.  Guess i went astray when you went astray and used the quote button which lead me astray thinking you were addressing me (since it was my quote) which i guess you were not since you wrote what i quoted when someone went astray........ oh hell forget it.

I did? I didn't quote you. Because I post a thought after you does not mean  I'm responding to you. You're just not that important. You're not Trump after all

Good Allah I love that!

No argument here. At first I thought it was all about rating, then i thought it was to keep hillery out of the news, now I lean towards their baiting him into saying something to hurt any true conservative. I have to admit he has been entertaining and keeping him on has not hurt their industry.

Without Trump in the race, Jeb Bush will easily win nomination. Only Trump can stop Bush. Cruz can not stop Bush.

Is Trump perfect? In many ways yes and many ways no.

What is good about Trump is that he can tackle the issue of illegals and 400,000 anchor babies EVERY YEAR, BETTER THAN ANY OTHER CANDIDATE.

If those issues are not resolved quickly, there will be no country left, and constitution will become a meaningless piece of paper.

Situation is THAT serious.

Ha, I disagree with that big-time.  It would be more of a battle, since he'd have to spend time and money going after the other guys, but Cruz is just too smooth.

Actually ... no.

Bush would have the media and the GOPe as his personal army!
There would be nothing that Cruz could do to counteract that!

Trump HAS kept bush from breaking loose from the pack and given Cruz time to sell his message! I still think Trump will top out soon and leave the conservatives in a strong position!

No way.  On fundraising, he's all SuperPAC and no support.  Cruz is beating him in grass roots fund raising (last time I checked).  He's going to blow through that, and will have to start raising money from China like Hussein did in 2012.

On support, we're tired with Dole, GH, McCain, and Romney.  The country is more united than ever for a real conservative, and 2010 and 2014 mid-terms showed that.  Also, remember, Hussein in 2008 was a lot of anti-Bush momentum.  Jeb is anchored by his last name, not helped (hence, his logo).  Plus, a lot of his Dad's people are old and dying off.   Also, as we've been seeing the past few elections, the conservative dollar gets FAR more mileage than the GOP-backed dollar.  So, I think Cruz would trounce Jeb -- even more-so with Trump.
