I think Carly will have the rest of the extraterrestrials come down and promise us their “fountain of youth’ drug if we elect her and she’ll win.

Of course IT’S 6 MONTHS OUT and my prediction may change...

Carson is a long shot. He barely makes the top 10.

These lefty, pinhead-e, self-appointed-as-magi writers sooner or later 'out' themselves as they compulsively type torrents of words they expect us to give serious, weighty thought to.

And there it was...inserted a couple paragraphs down in his masterpiece we come across the same old, same old "Of course, Trump appeals to the uniformed voters" crap.

That's a pretty good portion of the populace he's describing and insulting in his best condescending tone, isn't it !

Some of the most informed, stable and un-emotional folks I know are Trump supporters and there are millions of them.

Who died and designated this oracle-e as today's Einstein?

By the way, the article posted at the top of this thread is from a blog which is owned by Erick Erickson, the arrogant pretend-conservative who cancelled Trump as a speaker at his (Erickson's) "Red State Convention" after the first debate and invited Megyn Kelly in his place.

'Nuff said.

Remember “Can’t run a newsletter, can’t be president?” Well, same thing goes for Hewlett-Packard.

and his chevalier attitude

Uh I think he may be missing a meaning here. Chevalier is French nobleman I think. Cavalier means arrogant, dismissive, not showing regard. I would think the word should be “cavalier” not “chevalier”.

Good choices. A little rough treatment on the Trump voters, though. He’s largely adored here in FR, and FR voters sure as hell aren’t “uninformed.”

Ted’s obvious problems are his poll numbers. The people being polled don’t seem to realize he walks on water./s

Perhaps that will change drastically (I still won’t vote for him) and he will be in a position to win. Right now I don’t think you can blame me or the GOP-e or the Socialist Media. Something about him is not resonating with the voters right now.

At any rate, yelling at me won’t fix it.

This is spot-on, but the idiot Trump voters will see the word “Red State” and disregard anything in it since comprehending conflicting information into the psyche seems to be an impossible task. That’s what happens when one sells their sole to a charlatan.

Cruz 100%. If Cruz challenged Trump to 1-on-1 debate on the issues, would Trump show up?

I am befuddled at how Carson keeps making high rankings on these lists and polls.

Just last week, he admitted he referred mothers to abortion clinics — after denying it previously.

2nd Amendment? Too many have guns. Trouble is, those who likely have unregistered guns are the ones doing most of the killing.

It is also surprising that Rubio continues to make these lists and polls. Just last week he was again on his amnesty/path to citizenship kick.

Polls .....are made not to reflect but to redirect public opinion.

Trump and Cruz are the two I could support at this time.

The GOPE operatives here and other places are trying to enable a direct Cruz v. Trump fight where they would split their votes enabling an outcome of Jeb Bush to slip ahead of both of them.

It’s unabashed ploy that’s not going to work.

“Just someone’s opinion. Nothing in this election cycle can be formatted.”

You’re exactly right.

Besides, chances are this time next year it’s going to be a whole new world we’re dealing with. And not for the better.

“... not resonating ...”

What meetings are you looking at ..??.. he’s having overflow crowds .. but that tells you he’s “not resonating”.

Like I said, you’re just a shill for the DemocRATS .. and I’ll YELL AT YOU IF I WANT TO; ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU’RE TELLING LIES ABOUT SOMEONE.

Polsters and pundits have been consistently wrong world wide I might add, in the past year or so. They badly missed the British and Israeli elections using their "scientific" techniques.

IMO they are missing the messsages that are keeps Trump on top.

1) Illegal immigrant saturation and now the anchor baby angst from the left

2) Making America the greatest country in the world again

3) The media trying to shape and form the news instead of reporting it.

4) Trump's rebellion against all things politically correct.

The democrat players are enamored with Hillary’s foundation money as a war chest (can you say cheating) and not Hillary. If she was poor, they would dump her.

For the Republicans, staying power is key in the primaries. After super Tuesday, it will likely be down to three players and a long shot. Trump has the most staying power, Cruz the second most, Jeb the third most (unfortunately), and either Fiorina or Dr. Carson as the long shot.

A few years ago I predicted that a Trump type would rise up. When it was clear that a majority of Americans were being held histage by a violent minority, that some jerk would speak for them and they’d fall for it.

My wife pointed this out from today’s Proverb. She thought it fit Trump perfectly.

“Proverbs 23:1-3 KJV
[1] … When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee: [2] And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. [3] Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.”
