Donald Trump has surged to the lead in the New Hampshire GOP presidential primary and virtually erased Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s advantage in the Iowa caucuses, according to new NBC News/Marist polls released Sunday.
In Iowa, Walker still tops the field with 19 percent, the poll shows — only two points ahead of Trump, who garners 17 percent. Interviews for the poll began on July 14 — the day after the Walker campaign’s launch event in Wisconsin. The only other candidate in double digits is former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, at 12 percent.
Those lagging behind include a number of candidates banking on strong finishes in Iowa. Neurosurgeon Ben Carson is in fourth place, at 8 percent, followed by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee at 7 percent, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul at 5 percent, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz at 4 percent and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio at 4 percent.

You guessed right: we’re invaded by liberal trolls all shilling for Trump.
_____________________________________________-
Your buddy Walker is all for amnesty, but since he’s your guy, i’m sure you can rationalize that...right?
Figures you’re a Bush supporter.
Would you rather I settle for the greater of two evils?
I don’t know why Jeb would love me. I’d vote Trump right now, because Trump is the only one who understands how to fix the economy.
You go trust your politicians that SAY that they are “pure” and because I don't trust them you call me a liberal . you are the one who gave us Obama and you are responsible for the destruction of the USA and our way of life. And I don't give a damn what the hell you say or think but i know I'm the opposite of what you are which is an idiot or communist agitator . I don't care which I'm just glad I'm not you.
Yep.
in a nutshell
Sen. Mike Enzi (R-WY) has proposed the Marketplace Fairness Act (MFA), which would allow states to "collect and remit sales and use taxes with respect to remote sales.”...The National Retail Federation (NRF) claims that states could collect an additional $25 billion in sales taxes annually if the legislation is passed, and argues that imposing the tax would help to promote business at traditional stores, create jobs, and provide tax revenue...“The billions of dollars in lost sales tax is revenue badly needed by cash-strapped state and local governments to pay the salaries of essential workers such as police officers, firefighters, ambulance crews, and schoolteachers,” the NRF states.
In 2004 I worked for W with enthusiasm. 2008, 2010, and 2012 I worked and that was about it. In 2014 I voted a straight ticket but told the GOP to pound sand when they asked for hours. This time I am done. Walker was my first choice then he heard the whisper of we must court the Hispanic vote. Cruz is a fine candidate but I’m not sure he can close. Trump might well be fooling me. But I don’t think so. He loves this country. It made him rich and I think it pains him to envision his grandkids living in the situation obozo created.
In this media driven world, he may be our best hope. He has no fear of reprisal from idiots in the media. That cannot be said of the others. He is a game changer. May God protect him.
The answer to your question is in the question, in that you appear to have put the cart before the horse; He is not a politician, he is a businessman doing what he has to do to make a buck. If one of his clients likes pink neckties, that is what he will wear. You are looking at political affiliation as a harbinger of what is to come and to him it is relatively unimportant, the deal is. Most of us, who know the difference between Republicans and conservatives, have a hard time with this but from his perspective it makes perfect sense.
There is a human side to this too. Trump in at that time of life when he is wondering what he has done with his life. He gives an immense amount to charities but so what. Put yourself in his place and you may more understand that he sees a challenge, his country is in trouble, and he is in a place to do something about it. What a capstone to his life! He could be right up there with Reagan. Would you do that? I probably would, and I bet a lot of other Americans would step up to the plate in similar circumstances. IMOH.
It was most certainly the GOPe who gave us Obama. First, they foisted McCain on us, then they foisted the “electable” Romney.
The GOPe has done its darndest to sandbag authentic conservative Senate candidates, and it is going all out to destroy the true authentic presidential candidate Ted Cruz.
The GOPe would rather have Hillary become president rather than lose party power to Ted Cruz.
If you are not a top corporate executive campaign contributor, a K Street lobbyist, or a member of the country club set, the GOPe does not care about you.
What is great about Donald Trump is that he can run third-party and destroy the GOPe candidate if the GOPe kneecaps Ted. So, if Ted wins the nomination, or if Donald Trump runs third-party, the GOPe can get what is coming to it.
....”The GOPe would rather have Hillary become president”.....
The fact they pushed Jeb up evidenced that from the get go. They know he’d loose to Hillary.
