No Drudge Poll? Worried Trump isn't going to poll well
2/7/16 | me

Posted on 02/07/2016 9:08:52 AM PST by spacejunkie2001

No poll on Drudge, eh? Last debate Drudge had to change it from 'who won the debate' to 'who do you prefer as president' because his guy made a bad call and didn't attend (and then lost Iowa)? Seems he's having a hard time getting his head around running a poll for this debate. Why's that? Worried the numbers won't be there? Trump really needs to slay it in NH...maybe he will. NH is very liberal.

Like most conservatives on FR, I can appreciate Trump breaking through the PC wall (figuratively and literally) and stating what needs to be said about building a wall and protecting our country from terrorism but he is NOT conservative (although he does conserve.

I believe the reason Drudge did not do a poll this time is its too close to the primary and he did not want to influence the outcome. Just my opinion.

Most think Drudge is at Super Bowl.

...what does conservative mean...

Conservative is a meaningless term. It means to keep what you have. Hence, Hillary and Bernie are conservatives as they want to keep what they have, fat, lazy, and stupid government. We need "revolutionaries" to hack government down to size.

Debate was on a Saturday night. Drudge and crew were probably asleep at the wheel.

Actually, we call it “Freeping” a poll, don’t we?

Yep, he mis fired and mis spoke and never answered the question on CONSERVATIVE. Never said anything about the 2nd Amendment rights, or Children in the womb the Right to live, or never said anything about limiting powers of Federal Gov’t or appointing judges who would deflect MORE power, and hand it back to the individual states.

Trump’s followers mindlessly follow him even when he contradicts himself.

Probably for the best. Because Cruz would have ended up with one pole short of a tent meeting, anyway. ;-)

1. Drudge didn't have to change it. Trump won by refusing to walk into an insulting trap. The debate did not devastate Trump and that was a win for him.

2. It wasn't a bad call. Walking into a trap would have been a bad call.

3. There's no way to tell why Trump lost Iowa.

Seems he's having a hard time getting his head around running a poll for this debate. Why's that? Worried the numbers won't be there? Trump really needs to slay it in NH...maybe he will. NH is very liberal.

4. You have no idea why he didn't run a poll.

5. You're jumping to baseless conclusions.

6. Trump is one delegate behind Cruz and doesn't need to do anything more than simply win the New Hampshire primary. He will.

7. Cruz would love to win New Hampshire. He won't. Trying to downplay his loss there is silly.

Like most conservatives on FR, I can appreciate Trump breaking through the PC wall (figuratively and literally) and stating what needs to be said about building a wall and protecting our country from terrorism but he is NOT conservative (although he does conserve.

8. Trump is getting the support of some very good Conservatives. It's based on his capabilities and his expressed plans for our nation.

9. His plans are Conservative.

Other than this, great post.

Because we “conservatives” know that it’s just campaign words that matter. The actual actions of our elected representatives (who claim to be “conservative”) - have been very poor at protecting the “conservative” elements that you laid out.

So if you are going to beat Trump with that stick (and I have no problem with you doing so) you might also want to beat the elected representatives, some of whom are running for President with it too.

I agree that it was a smart move to skip the debate. Kelly actually had videos to catch Cruz.

Those mods are essentially a hit team sent in to kill certain candidate’s chances.

These debates ??? need to be changed for the better.

You are one very angry “conservative purist”, aren’t you.

And you hide your hate behind The Lord. Despicable!

Which Cruzbots obviously are incapable of doing. Grow brain, return in vain.

Hate??

Haha, Spoken like a true leftist.

The Trump cult really does hate conservatism, and rightly so since it stands in opposition to the cult like worshipping of the Donald and his big government liberalism.

We call it freeping a poll when conservatives from this site did it.

Trump and his cultists aren’t conservative so it is different.

Orb could it be that Sanders Greedy Basement Dwellers would purposely tilt it the way they tilted the big poll? Sanders 30% on a Drudge poll yeah right! But of course since Trump won every post debate “who won” survey his loyal followers MUST have tiled those surveys as well - right?
