Donald Trump to GOP: Get all these nobodies out of my way!

With the DNC pulling out all the stops to ensure Hillary's coronation, Donald Trump wants the GOP to do the same for him.

GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump says the Republican National Committee (RNC) should disqualify candidates from primary debates who have failed to file paperwork to get their names on the ballots in major states.

"Now, if I were running the party, I'd say, 'Excuse me, if you can't win the state of X, a major state, if you can't win Virginia because you're not allowed to go in, or if you can't win South Carolina or you can't win this one or that one, because you didn't file, that means it's taken off your list, you're not allowed to be in the debate anymore,'" Trump said at a rally in Iowa on Saturday.

"When you're at like, this guy [former New York governor George] Pataki, he's been at zero for months. He couldn't get elected dog-catcher in New York. The guy's at zero for months. And he keeps on staying and staying," he added.

Voters? We don't need no steenkin' voters!

Just declare Trump the winner, and get Ready For Hillary!

Now, on the one hand, he has a point. The GOP primary cattle call is getting a little long in the tooth. But that's a function of Reince Priebus front-loading the debate schedule, well before any actual voting commences. And, as Lindsay Graham's exit today reveals, the lower-polling candidates will sooner rather than later head for the exits on their own.

But on the other hand, the polls have a habit of shifting. Three months ago all the pundits were writing Chris Christie off; he was lucky to be at the Kid's Table debates, making it in by the skin of his teeth. Then a funny thing happened. He got traction in New Hampshire.

Chris Christie continues to slowly but surely creep back into the race. He has a 49/30 favorability rating now, up all the way from 28/54 in late August. It's a reminder that things can change a lot over time and some of the candidates seen as being dead right now could come back to life and some of the candidates who it seems like can't do anything wrong right now could come crashing back down.

Which, of course, is why we're having these primaries in the first place.

So cool your jets Mr. Trump. If you really are All That And A Can Of Peas, the voters will ratify your ego's preconceptions. And if not? Well, maybe George Pataki can appoint you dog-catcher.
