Donald Trump Has Dems On ‘Red Alert’
Donald Trump is making Democrats sweat bullets.
Donald Trump is continuing to really out poll his GOP opponents, and now the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has put him on the list of “Top Tier” GOP candidates.
A media report Saturday says the DNC has assigned a full-time staff member to keep an eye on Mr. Trump’s campaign, respond to his statements, and try to slow his rise.
By being designated for full-time monitoring, Mr. Trump joins front-runners former Gov. Jeb Bush (FL), Sen. Ted Cruz (TX) Gov. John Kasich (OH), Sen. Rand Paul (KY), former Gov. Rick Perry (TX), Sen. Marco Rubio (FL), and Gov. Scott Walker (WI) all of whom Donald Trump is trumping in the national and early voting state polls..
The DNC has viewed Mr. Trump for some time, saying in June, when he announced his candidacy, that he adds “some much-needed seriousness that has previously been lacking from the GOP field.” However, the artical says, the fact that the DNC is monitoring him more closely reflects the threat he poses to its candidates, including frontrunner Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Republicans are responding to Mr. Trump’s tough-talk, despite remarks that have brought some controversy, but polls show the controversies are fueling, rather than taking away from Mr. Trump’s poll numbers.
In many of the polls, Mr. Trump has a double digit lead over all GOP opponents, including Mr. Bush, who had been widely considered a “shoe-in” for the race.
.
The polls will also put Mr. Trump on the stage in Fox News’ first Republican debate this coming Thursday, making him a threat just like his other more politically experienced rivals.
Meanwhile, the candidates who are not in the top-10 cut in the polls will be on a smaller debate stage earlier in the day.
Trumpeting for Trump
Have a terrific weekend.
