Trump Isn’t Going Anywhere

September 3, 2015 · 10:02 am ET · 43 Comments

Chris Cillizza: “The summer of Trump looks poised to turn seamlessly to the autumn of Trump. His numbers in Iowa and New Hampshire — as well as nationally — look to have topped off a bit of late, but a) that still puts him in a very strong position, and b) his numbers haven’t dropped off in any meaningful way.”

“Trump’s immigration stance makes him appealing to a large number of conservatives, and his willingness to say whatever he is thinking at any moment conveys a sense of freedom that attracts less partisan Republicans. Trump’s, um, trump card in the race might actually be his unwillingness to accept big-dollar contributions; that’s his biggest applause line at many of his events.”
