"Schlonged": As Trump Dominates New Polls, Here Are 10 Unforgettable Images

Donald Trump is on an electoral roll.

After sweeping to victory in New Hampshire, the bellicose billionaire steamrolled into South Carolina and as we noted on Saturday, served notice that “this is no longer a matter of whether he can make a serious run at the presidency, it’s now a matter of whether Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio can mount a serious challenge.”

The GOP establishment, having watched Jeb Bush’s campaign crash and burn despite an impassioned plea to voters from his brother, is now left to ponder the unthinkable: Donald Trump might well win the Republican nomination.

As for voters, Trump’s long list of incredibly inflammatory soundbites have had no effect on the electorate’s willingness to support his candidacy. In fact, nearly three quarters now say they could see themselves supporting Trump, a complete reversal from where things stood at this time last year.

For his part, Trump is rubbing it in, as evidenced by this hilarious tweet that came on the heels of his big win in the Palmetto state:

Now, heading into a bevy of primaries set to play out across the country, it appears as though everyone else is “playing for second,” to quote Nevada political analyst Jon Ralston.

In Nevada for instance, Trump holds an astounding 26 point lead, polling at 45%.

Meanwhile, in Illinois, a recent poll by Southern Illinois University Carbondale’s Paul Simon Public Policy Institute shows Trump ahead by 13 points, and an Elon University poll says he’s surged to a 9 point lead in North Carolina. He's also ahead in Michigan and Massachusetts. At the risk of following Trump down the raunchy rhetoric rabbit hole, Cruz, Rubio, and everyone else are getting “schlonged.” 

Not to put too fine a point on it, but this is a rout. Plain and simple.

Given all of the above, this seemed like an opportune time to bring you the following set of pictures that vividly demonstrate the extent to which the Teflon Don has secured an almost religious following among some American voters.

Making America great again one convert at a time.
