Donald Trump has posted an incendiary ad bashing his enemies on Instagram that links a laughing President Obama and a dancing Hillary Clinton with Jihadi John himself. In a series of still photos that flash while sinister music plays, the candidate's post tells the world that Washington insiders are standing blithely by while ISIS and other forces bent on America's destruction make global inroads. 'Politicians are having fun on our dime while the world is burning,' read eerie white block letters on a field of black. Incendiary: Donald Trump has posted an incendiary ad bashing his enemies on Instagram that links a laughing President Obama and a dancing Hillary Clinton with Jihadi John himself Laughing on our dime: In a series of still photos that flash while sinister music plays, the candidate's post tells the world that Washington insiders are standing blithely by while ISIS and other forces bent on America's destruction make global inroads Just to make sure the message is clear, burning vehicles that evoke the riots of Ferguson fade in and out. The video appeared in a post that included Trump's declaration, 'Not under my watch.' The Republican front-runner's message quickly amassed thousands of likes and comments to the tune of 'Preach!' and 'Make America great again,' as well as 'Trump is cool!' And while unconventional, Trump's tactics certainly appear to be working. The latest Reuters-IPSOS poll, taken after last week's debate, continues to show Trump at the head of the pack. Trump's campaign so far has been dominated by one firestorm after the next, the latest involving Fox News personality Megyn Kelly's debate questions. The former reality television star, furious over what he deemed unfair treatment, lashed out at Kelly and the network, telling CNN on Friday that during the debate Kelly had 'blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.' Startling: Politicians are having fun on our dime while the world is burning,' read eerie white block letters on a field of black. Actual flames: Just to make sure the message is clear, burning vehicles that evoke the riots of Ferguson fade in and out But the feud between Trump and Fox News, one of the most powerful voices in Republican and conservative circles, appeared to thaw Monday after the network's chairman, Roger Ailes, reached out to Trump directly to clear the air. 'I assured him that we will continue to cover this campaign with fairness & balance,' Ailes said in a statement. The network announced shortly after that Trump would be appearing on two of its shows Tuesday, including a lengthy interview with Sean Hannity. 'As far as I'm concerned, I'm fine with it,' Trump told CNN's 'New Day' Tuesday morning after concluding a brief phone interview with 'Fox & Friends' in which Trump made no mention of Kelly or her questions. Still on top: The latest Reuters-IPSOS poll, taken after last week's debate, continues to show Trump at the head of the pack. Trump's campaign so far has been dominated by one firestorm after the next, the latest involving Fox News personality Megyn Kelly's debate questions In the interview with Hannity for Tuesday night, Trump said he was prepared to spend $345 million or more to fund his establishment-bucking campaign as long as he is doing well in the polls. 'Sure. You saw my income, my income is $400 million a year,' Trump responded, according to highlights released by the network. 'Sure, I would spend it if I am doing well!' The billionaire businessman's campaign has also begun soliciting fundraising dollars through its website. Despite the appeals, campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks said Trump will continue to finance the campaign, but has 'been overwhelmed by unsolicited contributions.' She said Trump will match any money coming in. Trump was pressed by reporters in Michigan on his lack of specific policy proposals since declaring his presidential run. He argued that, in business, flexibility is key. Trump also refused once again to rule out a third-party run.

Among Republicans who are familiar with the debate: Topline results are available for download on the right side of the page. These are findings from an Ipsos poll conducted for Thomson Reuters from August 6 (post-debate) -- 10, 2015. For the survey, a sample of 823 Americans ages 18+, including 346 who identify as Democrats, 278 who identify as Republican, and 111 who identify as Independent were interviewed online. The precision of the Reuters/Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points for all, including 6.0 percentage points for Democrats; 6.7 percentage points for Republicans; 10.6 percentage points for Independents. For more information about credibility intervals, please see the appendix. I notice they're polling a GOP race with a lot of Dims and indies. And it's yet another crappy online poll. I looked for Trump's new Instagram ad but it didn't show up on YouBoob's search. I tried a few more keywords and it popped up. YB's search leaves a lot to be desired.
I simply cannot imagine the RNC putting Trump on the ballot. It just seems exceedingly unlikely to me.

It just seems exceedingly unlikely to me. I agree with you....which is why Trump can't and won't pledge allegiance ONLY the the GOP. I'd imagine the establishment Pubbies are THIS close to pulling the plug on him in any case. As long as he remains a "Republican," his outsider message exposes the RNC-GOPe as crap-weasels WHILE also decimating their hold of power over the GOP. IF the RNC does jettison Trump or prevent him from having delegates in certain states, the backlash could well backfire, but that's a chance they'll happily take.
