The Republican horserace continues to be a contest of multiple candidates – with frontrunners sometimes ahead by only a few points, and no one dominating the race. In this week’s Economist/YouGov Poll, businessman Donald Trump leads among Republicans, ahead of Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, Florida Senator Marco Rubio and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. Trump looks even better as a candidate this week when Republicans are asked for their second choice. When they are, Trump extends his lead. One in four Republicans who are registered to vote say he is their first or second choice. But who are these Republicans? Trump’s statements on immigration may be striking a chord. Two-thirds of those who choose Trump first or second support the goals of the Tea Party, higher than the overall percentage of Republicans who do. They are much less likely to have a college education than are other Republicans, and they are more likely than other Republicans to say they are “very” conservative. Trump supporters may be making more of a statement than voting for someone they consider a contender. Just one in five of Trump’s supporters think Trump will win the nomination. Only 7% of Republicans think Trump will capture the nomination: more give the edge to Bush, Paul, Rubio and Walker. Trump also may have a problem mobilizing the rest of his party. While one in four Republicans make him their first or second choice this week, more than four in ten Republicans don’t like him. This is a slight improvement for Trump compared to his ratings in some previous weeks, when there have been more Republicans who had an unfavorable than a favorable opinion of Trump. And when they were asked to give a one-word description of Trump, Republicans more often cited negative than positive assessments. The GOP frontrunner: Donald Trump?
Trump leads the GOP pack this week, though few think he will win the nomination

Letter from Rand Paul: The Democrat National Committee has fired off more attacks against me than any other Republican running for President. I'm not surprised. Polls show me leading Hillary Clinton in key swing states like Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. That makes me the biggest threat to the coronation Hillary and the Democrats have planned. from the day I announced my candidacy for President the left hurled one smear after another. In the last year, the Democratic National Committee attacked me 203 times on social media and in press releases. In fact, in April they targeted me 71 times! That was the highest number of any candidate in any month. And since my first week on the trail, Hillary's allies in the liberal media threw "gotcha" questions at me to destroy my campaign and select our party's nominee. So I need your help to fight back. You and I can't allow attacks by the Democrats and their pals in the press to pick our nominee. Another tired establishment candidate is a recipe for defeat. Americans are hungering for a candidate to upend the Big Government status quo. I proved when I forced President Obama's illegal NSA spying to expire I was serious about defeating the Washington Machine. And just recently I proposed driving a stake through the heart of the IRS with my 14.5% Fair and Flat tax plan – which will return over $2 trillion to the paychecks of American workers and kick start our stagnant economy. The American people recognize I mean business and the polls prove I'm the Republican best positioned to defeat Hillary Clinton. So the left's attack dogs are pointed in my direction. The more they smear me, the more I know our movement to take our country back is growing. But I need your help to fight back right away. Please chip in $20 dollars ..

If they didn't fear my message, they wouldn't try to destroy me. Dear Rand Paul: I don't fear your message, I just don't care. If you don't concentrate on changing foreign policy, then you will be irrelevant. John Howard says: There are 4 schools of economics: Democrats don't mind war as long as they can have big government. Republicans don't mind big government as long as they can have war. I put a Block on Randi's whines for jack; let him get it from the joos that he speaks with daily.
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
