Over the last few months and even weeks, the question among many flabbergasted Republican traditionalists and incredulous political analysts was when the forces of gravity would catch up with Donald Trump and send him tumbling to earth.
It was going to happen. Of course it was going to happen. You just had to be patient. You just had to be strong.
But in the wake of his victories in New Hampshire and now South Carolina, the question is no longer “when.” It’s “if.” And the answer isn’t clear at all.
Consider this: From 1980 forward, no Republican presidential candidate has won both the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries and gone on to lose the party’s nomination.
And this: Over that same time period, only one Republican victor in South Carolina failed to become the nominee, and that was Newt Gingrich, in 2012. But Gingrich didn’t have Trump’s durable (and sizeable) lead in national polls. He didn’t dominate the race’s narrative and capture an exasperated electorate’s mood the way Trump has.

I hope not
no stopping him. The citizens are mad as hell and trump is the only one who has not been bought and can change things.
Exasperated is a good way to put it. Year in and year out we get promises followed by bad bargains.
In a word. NO
He is the ONLY candidate that is not bought and paid for by the establishment. Check out his campaign funding compared to the rest. He may be a flippin mess, but he's the best mess we have to dig out of Chinese debt, illegal immigrant overpopulation, unfounded foreign wars, and rebuilding the American made brand by keeping jobs here. At least he has the kahunas to say what most of us are thinking.
"he's the best mess we have to dig out of Chinese debt, illegal immigrant overpopulation, unfounded foreign wars, and rebuilding the American made brand by keeping jobs here."
If I thought he could do any of those things, I'd be first in line to vote for him. He has no idea how to actually implement any of those promises. You're not voting for a damn king, you know. He still has to work within a legal framework.
