A new national poll out today by OANN and Gravis Marketing has Trump up to 40%, his YUGEST lead ever over his Republican contenders. Here’s how each candidate rated:
oann_trump_forty
While Carson’s lead more than doubled, he’s still a distant second place with the rest of the GOP field behind him. Not that Jeb lost a bit as both Cruz and Fiorina gained.
Here’s the info on the poll:
Gravis Marketing, a nonpartisan research firm, conducted a random survey of 3,567 registered voters across the U.S. regarding the presidential election. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 2%. The total may not equal exactly 100% due to rounding. The polls were conducted on August 21-22 using interactive voice response, IVR, technology and weighted separately for each population in the question presented.
“Something strange is happening.”
I would humbly suggest that it is the “man on the white horse” phenomenon or maybe just call it the “lone ranger” phenomenon. When people realize just how hopeless the situation is and they see that the other candidates are all just a clown show they look for a “strong man”. The odd thing is that Trump seems to be his own man, normally the strong man is just the front for the oligarchy. I make no predictions or bets on the outcome of this, I am a helpless bystander just trying to figure out how to get out of the way of falling rocks. If I had any artistic ability I would draw Trump riding on a white horse and yelling Hi-Ho Silver with Ted Cruz following on Scout and wearing long braids and a headband and all the other candidates dressed in clown costumes being knocked out of the way. Heaven help us all.
There -I fixed that.
Scott Walker is plummeting. Not ready for prime time?
In fact “The Trio” rumored to be GOP-e candidates who were ordered to “take out Trump” in the FNC debate all seem to have dropped noticeably.
I hope they make the right choice, I’m not certain Trump is the right choice but I am convinced there is no other right choice unless it is Cruz and I am far from certain that Cruz has the dynamic personality needed at this point. I’m just dreaming of some way to stop what appears to be a certain train wreck of this nation and most of the rest of the world along with it. It is strange that when I was sixteen I KNEW that John Kennedy would be the next president, I don’t mean I was one of his gaga followers, I just KNEW he was inevitable without having the maturity to realize that the fix was in but now I don’t have the dares to make a prediction.
Gotta tell ya, this thrilled the crap outta me. I love watching the media, pollsters, GOP and Dems squirm and try to figure this one out. lol
By the way.....IT'S NOT ABOUT TRUMP! It is about the American peoples rebellion against the status qua.
They may realize at some point. Hopefully too late.
>>Why is Carson surging more than Cruz?<<
I suspect....juss lil ol me, that Cruz skeerz the hell outta them and this is the pollsters lil skew.
But Israel was BAD BAD BAD when they did the exact same thing.
Egypt floods Gaza tunnels, cut Palestinian lifeline
I Love it.
Hamas slams Egyptian plan to create buffer zone with Gaza
Poor HAMAS. How many hundred million does Obama send them every year?
Egypt Creating Buffer Zone Along Gaza Border
You mean they DON"T WANT the beloved 'palestinians'? How dare they.
I am kind of shocked at how low Ted Cruz’s numbers are based on how he is hyped on talk radio all the time. Maybe he is not telegenic? Sounds better on radio than he looks on TV?
That might be part of it.
The other part is air time. He has the money to buy it. He should.

We could consider trying to fool these dirt bag invaders and just state that the whole border is mined. Of course the filthbags in the MSM wouldn't go along with this false plan that the border is mined, but individual land owners, conservative organizations might.
I'll bet there are many land owners [who are having their cattle stolen or slaughtered for their meat]- who would definitely have these type signs designed, made up and placed along their land [falsely stating mines have been planted and are set to blow up] The average dirt bag illegal and coyote might think twice about walking across / might stop some of them. At least anything is better then what our islamic robe wearing obama and the rats are doing - - - which is nothing.
see my two posts above please and thank you for presenting your idea / hope you don’t mind me using your thoughts here
Something tells me that BOTH Trump and Cruz are very ware of the others expertise and abilities.
Example: Cruz has plead NINE DIFFERENT CASES before the United States Supreme Court.
He WON ALL NINE of those cases.
As a debater of significant stature Cruz is exceptional at getting people to see his POV.
Cruz, in turn, can see Trump's strengths.
To SMART street=wise guys should have sense enough not to fight one another but work together using one another.
Time will tell. We shall see.

No it wouldn’t they’d come by submarine.. boat, Canada, tunnel, or airplane..
American Traitors would find a way...
The way would be HANGING Coyotes Americans mostly Hispanic that helped them..
Make helping illegals to invade.. TREASON...
Then merely deport the invaders.. with a bounty on finding illegal aliens.. and other kind of insurgents..
Normally 'the strong man' makes his appearance when all hope is lost - and people are grasping for straws. That's not the situation here either.
Why?
Very few people understand how bad things are... We both know the pattern Rip - and that this isn't quite it. It's possible we might be dealing with what it appears to be: a somewhat brilliant eccentric retired businessman has decided to throw his hat in the ring to help save the country.
Bush gets crowds of 50-200 people and he has 10%?
Lindsey Graham is beating his own brains out?
You might be right on this... kinda spooky - you’re really close...
