Political outsiders on the republican side. donald trump, ben carson, combining for 50% support among republicans in this country right now. add in carli fiorina and they have a majority of support. you do the same with ted cruz, it s up to 60%. the showdown between fiorina and trump is one that a lot of people will be watching for, thinking that fiorina is uniquely positioned to take down trump in a way after his recent comments about his about her looks, among other things. of course, he insisted he was referring to her persona. but the other challenge is going to be that for jeb bush and scott walker. scott walker now dropping to number ten in polls, just 2%. he of course was counting on a strong showing in the first caucus state, iowa, and jeb bush is now relying on his trump card which is his big money advantage. $114 million raised over the first six months of this year, now spending a chunk of that on some new ads that begin soon to try to enperhaps reintroduce himself as jeb ....

Obviously taking on donald trump, it could boomerang. i don t think jeb has a choice at this point. are you surprised that the non-traditional candidate of a donald trump is doing so well, especially with the type of statements that would take a regular politician down in three seconds? actually, three years ago on a podcast i predicted that donald trump or somebody like donald trump could well be our nominee in 2016 for these reasons. one is we have combined politics and policy and entertainment into one thing. he s very good at that. number two, there s a constituency within the conservative movement for an outside person like him, but you know, it only works for awhile if you have got a dispersed field with ten candidates. 30% is a winner in a ten person field, not necessarily a winner when the field gets down to two or three. i do think the republican establishment and conservative groups now are going to have to come to terms with the idea that donald trump could be, i m not ....
