While most politicians have to spend precious time and energy raising funds, Trump can finance his entire campaign with little impact on his net worth. How much of the impasse here is really about that question, the question of political power in the future? By comparison, Jeb Bush’s campaign has spent more than $30 million. But the businessman is up by about 14 points over his rivals in New Hampshire, according to a RealClearPolitics average of recent surveys. One woman, who said she was born and raised in Iowa, was completely unaware of what the caucus process in general looked like. “If the Republicans pick the wrong person I would, in fact, seriously consider running”. One is free trade, and you see Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders taking similar positions there reflecting frustration.

The Times reports that support for Trump is strongest among Republicans who are less affluent, less educated and less likely to turn out to vote, as well as self-identified Republicans who are registered Democrats.

Although South Carolina Sen. He was speaking to NPR’s Steve Inskeep this week, where Bush actually credited Donald Trump’s sort of grip on the Republican primary to Barack Obama.

“If I come in second by 2 points, they’ll say ‘Ooh, this is a bad defeat, ‘” he said, referring to media and pundit pronouncements. Nonetheless, he will start to advertise in the next month and spend some of his fortune to bolster his frontrunner status.

SIEGEL: Trump campaign seems to be adopting some other more orthodox campaign strategies. Cruz and Trump will be weakened, but, in their combined delegate haul, they will represent a plurality of delegates for anti-establishment outsiders. These voter files are something we heard about earlier this month. One who did not, Clinton, who won the state in 2008 but lost the nomination to Obama, is hoping to impress independents by focusing keenly on local issues like the heroin epidemic and mental health care needs.

National Review’s Tim Alberta and Eliana Johnson report a potentially important development: The emergence of an Anybody-But-Cruz-(Except-Trump) movement from the soon-to-be ashes of the Iowa campaigns of Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum. These are big files of people’s names, addresses, party affiliations, how often they vote.

In addition to accessing these databases, we’ve seen a lot more phone banking from the Trump campaign. After the SEC primary, there are more winner-take-all primary states and these states tend to be more moderate which should allow him to take the lead in the delegate race.

In either event, the GOP we once knew is irredeemably a thing of the past.
