His numbers will go down when people start asking for an actual plan (via the debates)
And that he's flip flopped multiple times on the issues while we're at it. Someone is definitely going to bring that up.
This will be Trump's biggest problem. He's flip-flopping all the time and that will make him look really incapable.
Voters will tire of his act in due course. Some enjoy his antics, but many of those will not really in the end want him to be POTUS. The job is just too important. Be patient. And that would be my advice to the candidates, except perhaps those trying to generate their own buzz to get into the mix, and have higher visibility. Maybe Christie will go there. They speak the same language.
It never dawns on folks that Trump may well be leading because people agree with him on the issues he emphasizes moreso than they do with other candidates, and that the issues Trump emphasized are more important to a big slice of the GOP than the issues other candidates are emphasizing.
Trump's supporters may be dissed and dismissed as "low information voters", but since Baker v. Carr, it's one-man-one-vote, regardless of the "information" level. They know where they stand and what they want, and they are tired of the political class trot out it's approved candidates and lecturing them about what they really need.
Trump supporters aren't dismissed as "low information voters." They ARE low information voters who are scared and angry, perhaps for legitimate reasons as it pertains to the economy, though for silly reasons when they fear brown people like Trump does.
Seriously, normal/sane Republicans shouldn't go full European social democratic style in calling Trump supporters "stupid" or "racist" - that's the way to lose these people. Republicans should take their concerns seriously while offering solutions that are real and legitimate (as opposed to Trump's lala dreamland nonsense), not simply dismiss these people's concerns as irrelevant.
