On Tuesday night I checked in with Sean Hannity to talk about Donald Trump's continuing dominance in the Republican polls. Last month's arguments - sure, he's in the lead, but he's hit his "ceiling" of support, and he has high negatives, etc - are insufficient with every passing week. The high negatives are coming down and, for a guy with supposedly no breadth of appeal, he looks remarkably competitive:

Steyn noted that a recent Fox News poll revealed that not only do 25 percent of people support Trump as their first choice, but 10 percent support him as their second choice.

He added that the poll shows Trump trailing Hillary Clinton in a head-to-head matchup 47-42 percent, which is significantly closer than just a few weeks ago.

It is. Back then it was Hillary 51, Trump 34. What do you figure the post-Labor Day poll will show? Hillary 45, Trump 44? The GOP establishment and the anal end of the consultant-industrial complex can forget about Trump imploding any time soon. When he launched, I confess I thought he'd be a bit of a nine-day wonder. Then I thought, okay, he's in it through Iowa and New Hampshire, so his presence will drive out weaker candidates and change the shape of the race. But right now you'd have to be awfully cocksure about his "self-destructive" "blowhard" "buffoonery" to rule out the possibility of him winning the nomination. If it's Trump vs Establishment Man (Jeb or Kasich or whoever they settle on), are you so sure he can't pull it off?

Sean and I also talked about the base's weariness with the GOP's excuses: ...
