“An Trump is too mercurial, too crass, too vulgar, too much the dilettante, and way too inexperienced with government to lead a great nation. He should stick to reality TV.”

butthurt much? sorry about your guy.

“Hmmm, I thought you had to be a braggart, jerk to get ahead, like Trump.”

Nope, just small sample push polls.

No votes have been cast. I don’t know what you’re gloating about, by proxy. Trumps only won at being THEE most obnoxious award.

100 days atop all the polls is plenty to gloat about. Your guy couldn’t do that.

LOL. This matters because the Iowa caucuses have such a long and solid track record at picking the eventual nominee. Right.

The media suck.

70% don’t want the clownish Trump. The 70% will coalesce around another candidate and Trump will go back to being a TV clown.

Welcome to the Republican Party, would you like to be President?

No. Please stop letting these people, especially new to the party or even newly “converted” to conservatism think their first job in politics should be the top spot.

It is ridiculous and stupid.

McPutiney, I’ve news for you. I”m not running. I guess you’re disappointed you can’t vote for Putin to be the president of the USA since you favor him and his restoration of the old soviet empire over the USA. How’re you dealing with that disappointment? Do you still write to Putin and stare at his picture hoping you might meet him someday. Wouldn’t that be just grand?

Ben Carson is now the Iowa frontrunner

I don't know if this poll is accurate and I don't know if any of polls are accurate.

Trump has put himself in the position of saying that the polls are accurate with all of his brags about being first in the polls.

The problem is that he now at the mercy of the "integrity" of Socialist Media paid for polls.

“70% don’t want the clownish Trump. “

And whomever you are backing....that person has even more people that dont want them.

So when can we expect them to so go back to their day jobs?

I eliminate Carson based on several things.

We need an experienced top level CEO to lead up the next administration.

We need a man that has had his own billions on the line for 40 years.

We need a man that currently employs 22,500 people.

We need a man that had to consider the bottom line with every move he made over the last 40 years.

Every move he made for 40 years, was designed to improve or maintain his bottom line. After that length of time in that mindset, it’s impossible to operate without thinking in terms of the bottom line.

Our next president not only needs to stop the deficit spending, but needs to start paying down the national debt seriously.

To do this he will be looking at jobs, entitlements, government Departments, waste, creative funding, and more creative ways to get the job done for less.

Trump’s campaign is a good example. He’s been at the top of the polls now for 100 days. He’s spent less than any of the candidates.

His plan to build the wall is another good example. He will work it somehow so that Mexico does pay for it. This may come out of government funds we were going to give Mexico anyway, but it will wind up a zero sum gain. We get a wall and don’t spend more money to get it.

No other candidate proposes a wall. Some of them propose electronic systems to monitor and get the illegal invasion under control. Still others want to let illegals remain in place.

Those are Carson’s plans on illegal immigration. No wall. Remain in place. Register. Instant legal status. He does want to take the perks away, which is a plus, but it’s just too little too late.

Trump thinks circles around these folks. Most claim the wall wouldn’t do any good and would be too expensive. Trump says 60’ and we won’t have to pay for it.

I want to see the illegal that can scale a 60’ wall, LOL.

The very few that find a way, will be arrested on site.

This would be the end of the drug cartels walking across the border with massive fire-power into our nation. Trump knows this.

Carson and the other folks who think we don’t need a wall, don’t.

I think Carson is a good man. Yes he has held some management positions. He was excellent in his field. He was none the less a department head at best, not a true CEO in the sense Trump was.

He was operating on other people’s money. He was not having to operate on his bottom line, or if he was, it was infinitesimal compared to the hundreds of million dollar deals Trump oversaw.

Trump has had to deal with people all over the planet to get his work done. He manages overseas properties. (His organization) He overseas all this.

He has had to effectively deal with a cabinet of his own in the Trump organization, advisors, experts, accountants, listen and approve, tweak their advise, or reject their proposals.

At the level he was doing it, it was way over Carson’s deals.

Again, I think Carson was brilliant at what he did. That doesn’t mean he was a presidential level person. I simply cannot buy off on that.

Thank you for the suggested reading material. I do appreciate it.

You do realize there has been no voting? You do realize that the anti-trump vote could coalesce around one of the other candidates before there are votes cast, right? And all of Trump’s vile attacks on his opponent will harm his chances to get those other voters.
