The Trump Problem for Republicans as Fox Debate Nears

Disdain revealed as Trump not invited to Koch Bros. event featuring contenders

No matter what establishment poll you consult, the result is invariably the same: Donald Trump is trouncing all Republican contenders.

Rasmussen has The Donald far outpacing Jeb Bush and Scott Walker. His substantial lead means he will dominate the Fox News debate Thursday. This fact is undoubtedly giving the Republican establishment indigestion.

The top ten candidates participating in the primetime debate will be determined by establishment polls. It is not clear what polls the network will use, but this does not matter — Trump leads in all of them.

Rasmussen gives the honey badger a +14 lead over all other contenders while the RCP average of all polling data gives him a comfortable +9.5 spread.

Loved the tweet: Good luck to the Republican candidates begging for money from the Koch brothers. Puppets?

That's my question also, which other candidates actually care about what conservatives and the American people want more than special interest money?
