According to the poll, Trump and Huckabee both garnered 17 percent support among likely GOP primary voters. They trailed Mitt Romney, who topped the poll with 21 percent support, but bested several potential candidates, including Newt Gingrich (11 percent), Sarah Palin (10 percent) and Tim Pawlenty (6 percent).
Yet the most surprising number is Trump's standing with self-described tea party supporters. Among tea party voters, Trump leads the entire 2012 field, with 20 percent support--besting Romney (17 percent), Huckabee (14 percent) and Palin (12 percent).
I mean he has made a payroll and gone bankrupt and rebuilt his empire so he knows about debt and running a large company even in tough times. He knows about the real estate market so he would be well ahead of Obama on the housing crisis. He knows how to create jobs because he has actually created hundreds of them with his own capital. He talks tough and obviously loves his country.
In fact he might be the best advocate for reforming Wall Street and the financial systems because he is an insider. Kind of like LBJ helping to get civil rights passed easier because he was a southerner. We might see some real reform when it comes to these markets because "The Donald" knows what the change and what the effects will be.
However, he is a bombastic windbag sometimes but will certainly make for an interesting debate with Obama. I also think he would have a much better chance to win than Palin, Newt, Bachmann or Romney. Hell, if Paul Ryan doesn't run I would vote for Trump in a minute.
