I kept thinking to myself whenever the media was saying that Trump is almost #1 among the Republicans, I felt they were implying "wow, Trump really must have something if he's moving to the #1 spot." But, my thought was always that it doesn't say anything about Trump, but says everything about who these Republicans are! Anyone who is a Republican should be embarrassed that Trump is moving to the #1 spot! It's just like with Palin - it should be an embarrassment to the Republicans that so many of them loved her! It all just reflects on what kind of people the Republicans really are!
