The latest NBC/WSJ poll now has him behind Cruz nationally. The Republicans might be starting to realize Trump is unelectable. I was hoping they wouldn't figure that out until after they nominated him.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I think it's been pretty well proven that torture, in fact, does not work, but when have facts ever got in the way of an extremist's beliefs?

Rubio is about the only one with a shot. Cruz wont get any minority vote, and Jeb is begging for attention.

I regard listening to any of these republicunt fuckheads as torture.  I'll confess.  What do you want me to say so you'll all shut the fuck up.

Torture isn't a reliable method for acquiring information. There's much better ways to go about it. Trump is pandering to the Xenophobes who just hate Muslims.

Torture may not work against the people being tortured but it works against most of the people who aren't being tortured.  The fact that you know you will be tortured is usually enough to ensure your compliance.  It's the fear factor at work.

Rubio has no shot either.  Especially after he was eviscerated by Chris Christie.    Cruz is more of a psychopath than Trump.

I think Jeb gets the nomination  The Establishment will rally behind him in a brokered convention.
