"History says the front runner at this point dies off and dies off hard. That said, Donald Trump is a little bit different. People actually know what they're getting into with Trump. His life has been out there including the bad stuff. He's never been given a fair shake in the media, you only hear about these negative things, and he's going up in the polls! He has the immigration comment which lands him in hot water, he moves up .5 percent in the polls. He has the John McCain comment, which it sounds like even he would have liked to run back, he goes up six points in the polls. Usually a guy starts with a big lead and he only fades. In Trump's case, he is gaining on the competition. Historically, this has also never been done. I'm excited about him, he's the guy I'm backing as of right now, because of his candid talk. Just because of his straight talk. I'm a little drunk on excitement on Donald Trump, just because he's so refreshing."
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight and light heavyweight title contender Chael Sonnen knows a thing or two about politics, having captured Oregon's Republican primary election in a landslide way back in 2010. While his road to Congress took an unexpected detour -- as did this unofficial vote to have "The American Gangster" run for president of the United States -- the ex-Realtor is still very much in tune with what's been happening in the 2016 race for the White House. To that end, Sonnen likes what he sees thus far from Donald Trump, who is doing the very un-political thing right now and saying whatever the hell he wants, something the part-time ESPN analyst finds both refreshing and intoxicating. So, who among you will join Sonnen and back the Donald?
