For the first time this year, Donald Trump tops a state poll of GOP presidential candidates in Florida.

A St. Pete Polls survey released on Wednesday shows the New York businessman with 26 percent support, with Jeb Bush in second place with 20 percent.

Here, is this better?

I would be SHOCKED if I knew one person that I could ask about D Trump, and they would say "He's awesome". I know the polls aren't asking that, and it may be a case of the lesser evil for some, but good lord, if I found out that someone I know supports that cocky, comical buffoon, I would lose any respect I had for them, immediately.

I can think of no other candidate (maybe Cruz) that could do more potential harm to our country than that douchebag.

Life hasn’t been easy for Donald Trump. Though he’s only 6 years old, he’s already faced a lifetime of hardship as the result of a rare terminal disease that has left him in hospitals for much of his young life. With disturbingly yellow skin pigmentation, a prematurely deepened voice caused by thyroid abnormalities, and a grotesquely enlarged head due to cerebrospinal fluid accumulation, he will never have a chance at a normal childhood. And, sadly, doctors believe that he won’t live much longer.

But Donald doesn’t want you to feel sorry for him. Nope. What he really wants is for you to vote for him.

Believe it or not, little Donald is running for president of the United States, and thanks to thousands of kindhearted people around the country who are committed to helping him live out his dream, he’s been making a big splash on the campaign trail.

Give him 8 years as POTUS and see if you can say that.

This is what happens when you shoot for Daily Show humor and end up in the realm of Tosh.0.

So, on June 16, Donald—wearing a suit and a red tie, just like a real politician—officially announced his candidacy in a long and delightful speech, in which he laid out his vision for the country. He said that he wanted to build a giant wall around the U.S. to keep the bad guys out, and he expressed a desire to build bridges that are bigger than the big bridges they have in China. He also revealed that he knew how to beat ISIS, and he promised to make America better and stronger than ever.

In her defense, Kelly Osbourne is an idiot.

...wait...that's not a defense.

Former president Bill Clinton had a private telephone conversation in late spring with Donald Trump at the same time that the billionaire investor and reality-television star was nearing a decision to run for the White House, according to associates of both men.

Four Trump allies and one Clinton associate familiar with the exchange said that Clinton encouraged Trump’s efforts to play a larger role in the Republican Party and offered his own views of the political landscape.

"Gosh, Donald, I think you're just what this country needs. Go for it!"

In an appearance on MSNBC's Hardball Wednesday evening former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) praised Donald Trump, saying he has a little bit of Reagan in him.

"First of all, he's not a Roman candle," Giuliani told host Chris Matthews. "This is a very smart guy. This is a person who is media savvy in ways that some of the other candidates aren't. And he's a lot more substantive than you realize. I've know Donald 25 years. Meaning, he understands a lot of the world issues with a lot more depth than you probably realize."

"So we might have a little of a Ronald Reagan here, a guy they underestimate," Giuliani observed. "And in my particular case, I'm personal friends with five or six of them. And I have a hard time deciding who I'd like to see be president and I'm probably going to take a little while. But I expect Donald Trump is going to do pretty darn well tomorrow night."

So...Trump is not a firework? I guess that's good, insofar as I do not believe that fireworks are constitutionally eligible to be president.

Can he prove that he was not born a roman candle? I'm just asking for proof.
