Seven out of ten “Republican and Republican-leaning registered voters” say businessman Donald Trump is the GOP’s “strongest general election candidate,” based upon a newly released Associated Press-GfK poll.
Trump’s edge is the largest for any candidate, while “6 in 10 say the same for retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who, like Trump, has tapped into the powerful wave of antiestablishment anger defining the early phases of the 2016 contest.”
“It’s the lifelong establishment politicians on both sides that rub me the wrong way,” said registered Republican Joe Selig, a 60-year-old carpenter from Vallejo, California. “I think Trump is more electable. He’s strong. We need strength these days.”
As the AP points out, the poll “highlights the sharp contrast between the party’s voters and its top professionals regarding the billionaire businessman’s ultimate political strength.” In effect, the GOP’s Washington-based political class is completely out of touch with GOP voters.

Trust me on this one;someone else out there does not think Trump is electable.Every single night we are inundated via MSM to the point where we actually think we make a difference.We do have a say,just not the final say.
