Hayes: The Fact Trump ‘Can Sustain the Lead’ for 6 Months Is a ‘Credit to His Candidacy’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 

BAIER: "Okay, two ads out today, one trump attacking Ted Cruz, one Cruz attacking Donald Trump. This as we have new national polls from Fox News. Just out at the top of the hour. And you have Donald Trump with a comfortable lead over the rest of the field. Ted Cruz in second. And Rubio far in third. And eventually you’re going to actually see this poll. It’s fox poll number 1. There you see the rest of the field. Carson, bush and kasich. And Republicans refusing to support against the Democrat. These candidates, and there you see trump leading 15%, bush at 10%. Christie at 8%. Let’s bring in Steve Hayes senior writer for the “Weekly standard,” and Kristen powers for “U.S.A. Today” and syndicated columnist Charles krauthammer."
HAYES: "The major trump collapse is happening. He was at 39 last month and he’s 34 today. There’s no trump collapse. He has an incredible lead over Ted Cruz. The fact that he can sustain the lead and has sustained it for six months I think is a credit to his candidacy. We’ll see how long it lasts now that he and Ted Cruz are fully engaged. One of the most remarkable things about this election so far, and we talked about this the other night. Is that Donald Trump really hasn’t been hit on the air waves at all. There’s been virtually no Republican paid media campaign against Donald Trump. Either attacking him on his positions, views or ideology or character. It appears that’s beginning now."
