First he went on an anti-immigrant tirade, branding Mexicans in this country rapists, drug pushers, and criminals in generals.

That xenophobic rant seemed to propel Donald Trump to the top of the polls in the Republican presidential sweepstakes. But then on Saturday, the real estate mogul and former reality-TV star seemed to cross a line that not even some of his staunchest supporters could stomach.

As of now (6:55 a.m. EDT) it's about evenly divided. I voted "No." The GOPTP Frankenstein LIVES!

1. Looks like the no votes are winning.

2. I suspect that as far as the primaries are concerned, nothing is too extreme or too

outrageous. It's all just red meat to the base, and the R base votes, so he didn't hurt his campaign at all.

But he surely hurt himself and the Republican Party among the general population.

5. The GOP sold what was left

of its soul to the Tea Party and now it's reaping the "crop." Too bad, so sad.

6. They sold it a while back.

But it's not even the Tea Party. Trump is the Candidate of the Idiocracy.

3. Trump doesn't have a 'campaign', Trump has an ego-gratifying stunt. n/t

[Katashi_itto]

4. No

[Bad Thoughts]

7. Republicans were only warm on McCain themselves

He didn't generate much excitement on his own, and I was surprised how much better Romney did.

Trump is Romney on steroids.

8. I sincerely hope not.
