Ben Carson is now the Iowa frontrunner
MSN ^ | 22 Oct 15 | Becca Stanek

Donald Trump has been dethroned — at least in Iowa. A new Quinnipiac University poll out Thursday shows that Ben Carson now leads the GOP presidential field in the Hawkeye State by an 8 point margin, winning the support of 28 percent of likely Republican caucus-goers to Trump's 20 percent. That's a big reversal and a big drop for Trump, who just last month led Carson in the state 27 percent to 21 percent, Politico reports.

And if Trump still led in the Iowa polls, we’d be told he’s the inevitable next president.

“And Trump is too mercurial, too crass, too vulgar, too much the dilettante, and way too inexperienced with government to lead a great nation. He should stick to reality TV.”

But he most likely will be your next president! So tell us, when that happens, will you join Alec Baldwin and leave the country?

I would bet on it, as the globalists have nobody to run now. Their only recourse is to finance the opposition.

Trumps supported Democrats most of his career. I’ve lived in opposition to them when Trump was funding them. I see no reason for me to leave, and the odds of Trump becoming president are about as likely as bozo the clown winning.

Losing Iowa caucus is a good news for Trump to win nomination.

Romney did not win Iowa.
McCain did not win Iowa.

Dammit, Trump still leads Iowa caucus polls in RCP average.

D. Trump is a huge, huge improvement over Obama in every category. Sure he has his faults but he is far better than Bush and Rubio who are willing to sell out this country. Only other candidate who you could argue is better is T. Cruz. Unfortunately so far he has failed to catch on.

I have yet to hear anybody come up with a better plan regarding illegal aliens and immigrants than Trump. Immigration is the top issue we face, the one that can will determine our future.

Which means Trump will win in a landslide in the general election. He will get more democrat votes than any other republican in general.

Astute observation. Bush will easily win nomination IF Trump drops out.

On one of these threads I read that 573 or so is the sample size. In the words of Mr. Natural “it don’t mean shi*”.

BS. Carson is a little too meek to be Commander in Chief.

The Bible describes Moses as being extremely meek. Was he not a good CIC?

However, I know what you are getting at. Most of us want a CIC who is willing to play an aggressive game of Whack-A-Mole with the liberals rather than being Mr. Nice Guy.

I agree. And also to publish polls that are outlandish to create ground-swell.
