Among likely Republican primary voters, former Florida Gov. Bush picked up 14 percent, while the billionaire real-estate mogul Trump grabbed 11 percent. Most respondents—29 percent—are undecided.

There are 144 undecided voters in this pure garbage poll. Old Commie Leftico is getting desperate to get Loser Jeb on the ticket peddling this junk.
Bush is the establishment candidate. He represents a significant portion of the GOP electorate and an even more important moneyed portion.
Trump is siphoning a carefully selected and fully surveyed portion of the GOP electorate. People who are looking for a ‘conservative’ champion, but aren’t fully satisfied with the more mainstream conservative candidates like Cruz, Walker, or Rubio. Those candidates are handicapped in that they have to function in the real world of GOP and national elections.
Trump, like Perot, can promise the moon without any repercussion. He’s trolling and it satisfies his ego. You really know nothing about him, but his history is the best indicator of where the future lies with him.
He’s a Democrat and always will be. His fortune is based nearly wholly on crony capitalism.
If Trump is supported enough to hurt, well you know David Hannum’s famous quote.
Which candidate had 2 spheres to say what Donald John Trump, Sr. has been saying?
Did any one say Mexico is sending us criminals?
Did any one say China has stolen our jobs and we must fight back?
Did any one say sanctions on Iran should be tripled, and under no circumstances Iran will be allowed to have nukes?
Can any other candidate declare they have personally created ten’s of thousands of jobs?
Which candidate can spend his OWN money for the campaign, and thus not be under the command and control of their sugar daddy rich donors?
Which candidates are explicitly against TPP? It certainly is not Cruz & Rubio, both of whom actually voted for pushing the Pacific trade pact forward. Cruz backtracked when 60 votes were in McConnell’s bag and his vote was meaningless. But Cruz can not unring a bell.
Yes, I get that Cruz has donated 0.0022% of his net worth to democrats. I would posit that is extremely stingy while running a multi-Billion dollar construction company. Cost of doing business is usually much higher in donations to local politicians in charge.
I think the middle class is sick and tired of being sold down the river by professional politicians. It is not surprising Trump is attracting so much attention in such a short time.
Where did you see the word gospel in my post? Do you have evidence that poll is intentionally skewed in favor of any particular candidate? Or should we take your opinion as gospel that this is a meaning less poll?
Frankly, I was shocked to see Trump climb to 2nd place so quickly after declaring. After reading so many claims that Trump would never file official papers, I am shocked he actually did file! And I am shocked he is getting saturated flak from both the left and the right.
If Trump is a such a liberal as many claim, why are the leftist media and the GOP elites attacking him furiously?
You will be happy to note, that no one is even suggesting that you should vote for John Ellis Bush (JEB).
That’s the whole point. Trump has taken a series of polls and they’re very good at telling marketers what people want to ‘hear’. But what does or has Trump done?
Absolutely the opposite of what he’s said. His entire portfolio is made up of crony capitalist deals. Why take Trump seriously?
If he were selling you a used car it would be Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and you’d know he was selling you an absolute work of fiction. Are conservatives that desperate that they cannot separate rhetoric from reality?
Cruz and Walker and Rubio all have to operate in political reality because they’re serious candidates. Trump can say whatever. Isn’t his claim to want Oprah as his VP proof that he’s trolling us?
I call b.s.
Still trying to pick the next loser for us.
While Trump is not my first, or even 4th choice, I’ve got two words to say to those who dismiss him out of hand: Jesse Ventura! Both parties were blindsided. Sometimes to hear a non-politician speak his mind is more refreshing than the “professionals” think!
For that matter Barack Obama. Two years as an inactive Senator is not a resume. He was an outsider, community organizer, that inspired supporters. Same for Arnold Schwarzenegger.
This track record should scare people away.
