The British news organization says the DNC has assigned a full-time staff member to keep a close eye on Trump’s campaign, respond to his statements, and try to slow his rise.
By being designated for full-time monitoring, Trump joins front-runners such as former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.
The Brit paper says:
The DNC sees Trump as a real threat and has for some time. Their previously snide comment from June, that he adds “some much-needed seriousness that has previously been lacking from the GOP field” suddenly has gotten them genuinely scared. The Guardian reports, the point that the DNC is watching him closely echoes the threat he carries for its candidates, including frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
Republicans are replying to Trump’s words, despite some controversy, such as his criticism of Arizona Sen. John McCain. However, those polls show the hullabaloos are fueling, rather than taking away from Trump’s popularity.

In many polls, Trump holds a double digit lead over all challengers, including Jeb Bush, widely considered a shoe-in for the GOP.

They should. He’s not run by anyone.
Trump has my vote!
Democrats you did it to yourself. Don’t blame Trump. Your poor leadership will now require a man like Trump to correct it.
You are bringing the numbers in!
Republicans fear TRUMP. I will support the CANDIDATE Republican, Democrat, Independent who will stop the political cronery and promise-breaking and corruption that now governs our country. I support TRUMP. He is the TAIL WAGGING THE DOG. He is the only candidate strong enough to say and do what needs to be done in this country. The rest of the political field is simply professional politicians who make all kinds of promises, and once elected, do nothing. I SUPPORT TRUMP–FEALTY TO FOX NEWS OR NOT.
just praying this is not all a ploy to hand the election to the democrats. Right now, he is on the fast track to do just that. And he is too close to the clintons. Sorry. Cruz does what he says, and means it.
