Donald Trump’s surge in the polls has followed the classic pattern of a media-driven surge. Now it will follow the classic pattern of a party-backed collapse.
Mr. Trump’s candidacy probably reached an inflection point on Saturday after he essentially criticized John McCain for being captured during the Vietnam War. Republican campaigns and elites quickly moved to condemn his comments — a shift that will probably mark the moment when Trump’s candidacy went from boom to bust. CONT.

Recent polls: Republican presidential preference
I would have voted for Trump if he made it to the final end of the campaign but after he said what he did about John McClain I just can’t back Trump for President Now. I don’t know what brought Trump to say something like that? He just ended his campaign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
