In case you didn’t know, Donald Trump is really not running for President. Yes, I know, he made an announcement stating that he is running, but believe me when I tell you that he isn’t. What Trump is doing now is something he has done multiple times in the past – fool Republicans into thinking that he is running so he can sell a book or gain more viewership for his television show or get more reservations in his hotels. It worked in the past, so chances are it will work again in Trump’s favor.
And the Republican voter simply cannot figure this out!
Take this new poll as an example. There are those out there who really believe Donald Trump is running for president! A new national poll has Donald Trump in second place to Jeb Bush. According to the poll by Suffolk University, Bush is sailing away with a grand old 15%. Trump is a distant second at 11%.
No other candidates are in double digits, with 8 percent for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, 7 percent for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, 6 percent for retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, 5 percent for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and 4 percent each for businesswoman Carly Fiorina, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
“Jeb Bush continues to lead, but Donald Trump has emerged as an anti-Jeb Bush alternative in New Hampshire,” said David Paleologos, the director of the Suffolk University poll. “Many of those who like Trump are voting for him, and although many more dislike him, the unfavorables are split up among many other candidates. It’s the politics of plurality.”
