How Come Trump Doesn’t Have a Bigger Lead?

You know, it’s one thing when you’re tasked with reporting about a political contest between two candidates and the race is so close that it’s difficult to tell who’s ahead and who’s behind. But it’s worse when you are tasked with reporting about a political contest where the gap between the candidates is so great that there’s really no contest going on at all.

This is what’s going on both with the GOP and the Democrat(ic) Party primary campaigns, although the fact that Joe’s only official opponent, Marianne Williamson, is getting less than10% in recent polls should come as no surprise, because believe it or not, Joe happens to be the incumbent President who should be at least above 70%, which is exactly where he happens to be.

On the other side, Trump is one of eight candidates still running for the GOP nod, and he’s now getting poll numbers in the high 50’s and even a couple of polls in the 60’s, with everyone else sharing around 30%.
