Walker’s fundraiser did attack Trump first—and decline to disavow it when Trump asked him to.

Well all of the politicians are funded by big daddy donors like the koch brothers. And these donors are pro Amnesty. that is why they all voted for obama trade.

This is why I also support Trump . because he's not owned by these donors like the Koch brothers.

Well no one is even saying to reduce legal immigration. but they are for increasing it including more H1-b visas.

So they are telling you they will increase legal immigration . ALl of them are telling us that.

Only Scott walker is saying reduce it. He's done only conservative things in WI . so I'd rather take a chance on Walker that is saying that he will reduce legal immigration over someone that is for increasing it(H1-B’s obama trade etc).

And Trump is the only one saying he will deport illegals. none of the others are even saying it.

Your point?

I am simply asking the poster how we can want Trump and defend Walker when Trump talked about Walker’s record? Just trying to figure out the mindset.

[Democrat_media]

Yes . that’s it . A push poll. Fiorina the attack dog against Trump gets lifted by NBC poll

Do you have a form of typed tardive dyskinesia or do my eyes seen in quadruplicate? Give it a rest dude.
Cruz is next POTUS.

Actually, Santorum—unless he has pulled back so he can raise the money he desperately needs—has been very strong on immigration.

Too bad he’s too weird otherwise.

And again, Walker is only just now saying to reduce immigration if that’s what is needed to protect American workers—while still being as GOPe and funded by the pro-amnesty gang as anyone else.

Walker to me is too desperately ambitious and willing to cut corners or say anything to for his own cause. I really hope he’s not who we end up with.

[9YearLurker]

You stated that Trump attacked Walker, without providing the context that Walker’s team attacked Trump first—so I added that context.

“But now, the numbers are meaningless”

Yeh I’m sure Walker, Bush and Rubio wish they were doing as crappy as Trump. :-)

[mag44]

Cruz control all the way.

[Democrat_media]

I was having a discussion about issues with some other posters.

All you can do is hurl insults. Who cares what you say ? I don’t.

[Starstruck]

I bet Trump is really at 30%

Yeah like they don't want the Trump circus to continue. Where is the Hillary news? It's been trumped.

[Democrat_media]

You don't get out much?

Go out there talk to Americans in Walmart, the gas station , everywhere they are for Trump. He's going to win

These dumb debates usually get 2 million viewers. this was the highest news cable rated event ever 24 million. It's because of Trump.

As I predicted in the vanity before the debate Trump's Ponzi Bubble

I have also many times conjectured (rather than predicted) that Trump's numbers might continue to ascend but at a decelerating rate signaling that they were approaching a topping. These numbers indicate that that might well be the case.

CYA: one poll ain't enough to make clear judgments. We want to see a trend to do that. So far it looks like Trump is at best horizontal and perhaps declining and Cruz is ascending. Yes, I do indeed like those trends-but one dare not call them that yet.

I would argue that if the trends are real it signals that the folks are beginning to understand that Trump is not the only alternative to Jeb Bush and the Republican establishment. They are beginning to see Ted Cruz as that viable alternative without all of the baggage of Donald Trump. If so, that is the beginning of the end for Trump.

I say one more time, it's too early to tell but the first signs are encouraging.

[TNMOUTH]

Why would they care if, as you said, it is meaningless?

[princess leah]

I have had my Ted Cruz bumper sticker on for 1 year now (got it last summer when I first knew he was thinking about running). He’s the goods - I mean, really has the leadership qualities (like Ronaldus Magnus) and personally he is not afraid to spread the GOOD NEWS of salvation even in a debate! That is someone who won’t shift in the wind!
THE “CRUZ MISSILE” in 2016!!!

“Bush 7% Walker 7%”

LOL.......

CRUZ CONTROL!

"Been searching all over for this story, can’t find it."

Me too. Been googling like crazy but can't find anything, most likely because this poll was just presented by Chuck Todd a few minutes ago.

Right now, best info comes from screen-captures images:

Note the fact that Fiorini supposedly "won" the debate makes this poll (and/or the NBC presentation itself) EXTREMELY suspect, if for no other reason than the two debates are like comparing apples and oranges. It's not possible to legitimately lump the two together, since you can poll only those who watched both debates, which of course excludes the great bulk of those who skipped the kiddie debate and watched only the REAL debate.

No, there are other ways?

I think those girls are great. But cheerleading on youtube by his supporters won’t be enough. TRUMP needs to address the American people directly. It doesn’t have to be Youtube, per se. But he needs to do it somehow. Operative word being “He.”

Otherwise, the media will have him addressing Megyn’s private parts for the rest of the election cycle.

Trump, talk to us directly. Bypass the smear machine. Or, at least, give yourself leverage over the smear machine by having your own personal outlets online. Twitter is not enough. Five, ten minute videos, twice a week is all it requires. And its free.

Its a no brainer.
