The billionaire businessman surges to 41 percent after releasing proposal to ban all Muslims from entering the U.S.

Donald Trump just got a little more vault in his ceiling. Nationwide, the polling-obsessed Manhattan multi-billionaire and leading Republican presidential candidate broke into the 40s on Monday.

According to the results of the latest Monmouth University poll surveying voters identifying as Republican or independents leaning toward the GOP, Trump earned 41 percent, nearly tripling the support of his closest rival, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who took 14 percent.

The poll underscores Trump's success at keeping voters fixated on his unprecedented presidential campaign. The latest national survey was taken after Trump landed another whopper, proposing in an emailed statement last Monday to temporarily ban all Muslims from entering the U.S. The statement gave Trump another boost of media attention, and some speculated it was designed to shift the conversation away from a Monmouth poll from Iowa released earlier that day that showed Cruz with a 5-point edge in the state.

Great song and video and equally applicable to Hillary.

I'm reasonably sure that Trump can do something that Hillary can't: Use more than one email account.

Obligatory:

No. The TRump phenomenon is nothing like the perceived viability of any serious candidate for President in my lifetime.

President Trump

Has a real nice ring to it. He will likely go down as the greatest president ever

First, protect Americans from IHLary
Then, save the world from Islam

Things are really starting to look up. Hell, the economy is probably already doing better knowing president trump is on the way

It's going to be funny watching him fire Congress.

Hillary lost to a half term senator from IL. Enough said.

Either Trump will be my next leader or I'll pick a new country that already has one I approve of.
There's nobody else running in the D or the R that would want to live under.

lol--you're no different than all the celebrities you mock. When Trump flames out, I guarantee you won't be moving.

TPB likes the cut of his jib. That is, he likes the way Trump lies almost as well as TP does.

Funny, people jumped on Obama for a couple of major lies. I've listened to some TRump speeches that literally contain dozens of lies, all in one speech, that he knows are lies.

That's the difference. When Obama lied about "you can keep your doctor" he believed it, or at least believed it was usually going to be the case (which it is for many people insured through their employer). Trump on the other hand, is just like TPB, he lies constantly and knows he's lying. In some alien worlds I can't relate to, this is a good thing ?

What is it ? He tells the kind of lies you like ? Like saying Hillary is the worst Secretary of State ever. And that she has caused all the problems in the middle east ?

OH yeah, I almost forgot, TP thinks the President controls the price of oil. OR he used to at least, before oil came way down while Obama was still President.

Trump hits a new high in national poll

And the nation hits a new low.

Trump is hated by members of the right, as well as the left. He must have something going for him.

How's Libya? Syria? She spent most of her time letting Nuland and the State Dept. neocons cause chaos while she flew around Asia and Europe stumping for TTIP and TPP.
