That is the title of the article. Sorry American friends, but so far the GOP frontrunners are Jeb and the other huckster... the one with the bad hair who doesn't like Mexicans.

WASHINGTON -- He told us it was going to be huge. Truly one of the biggest ever. And now Donald Trump has some polling data to back him up.

The celebrity hotelier, who announced his campaign for president in June, is surging in national and early primary polls. Trump placed second in a national CNN poll released Wednesday, with 12 percent of GOP primary voters saying they were most likely to support him in 2016. In fact, he outranked every other candidate in the crowded Republican field except former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who garnered 19 percent.

In the all-important early caucus state of Iowa, Trump is locked in a fight for second place with famed neurosurgeon Ben Carson. According to a Quinnipiac University poll also released Wednesday, the two candidates trail Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R), who is expected to enter the race later this month, at 10 percent each.

1. Same thing happened in other Presidentials each time another clown climbed into the car.

Ultimately, it boiled down to establishment choices like McInsane and Mitt.

Eyes on Jeb, Walker and Rubio. JMO

2. Hard to believe he would do so well after his bigoted anti-Mexican statement.

But then, they polled GOP primary voters so ...

3. Name recognition. Who hasn't heard of T.Rump?

republicans are probably sweating this a lot more than Democrats are.

4. Sad for America

It's a sad statement about modern America that this idiot has the support of anyone at all. The Republicans would be fools to nominate him, but you never know. However, it might be good for Democrats. He's radioactive to moderates and he will surely mobilize the Democratic base.

5. He announced his campaign in June - June was yesterday
