Has there been a candidate more polarizing in the 2016 election than Donald Trump?

Superfans think he’s a genius—a plutocrat who will negotiate America into economic success and mediate between a partisan Congress. Detractors think Trump is a racist buffoon who doesn’t have anything good to say, and yet won’t keep his mouth shut. For Republicans, Trump is a refreshing choice for voters who are sick of a GOP that can’t hold together a united front.

Heading into the third Republican presidential debate, Trump—for the first time in months—is not in the top spot in the polls. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson took a national lead in a New York Times/CBS news poll published yesterday. Twenty-six percent of Republican primary voters are backing Carson, versus 22 percent for Trump. It’s a narrow lead, but one that Trump promptly questioned. After all, the billionaire has remarked, “If I fell behind badly [in the polls], I would certainly get out. I’m in this for the long haul.”

“I watched Pam earlier, and it really looks like she’s just taunting everybody. What is she doing drawing Muhammad? I mean it’s disgusting, Isn’t there something else they could be doing? Drawing Muhammad? They can’t do something else? They have have to be in the middle of Texas doing something on Muhammad and insulting everybody? What is she doing? Why is she doing it? It’s probably very risky for her — I don’t know, maybe she likes risk?”

“Yes, and a very strong yes to renewable fuel standards. There is no reason not to. We need it. We need every form we can get. Ethanol is terrific, especially with the new process. And I am totally in favor of ethanol 100-percent and I will support it.”

As far as single payer, it works in Canada. It works incredibly well in Scotland.

I think it’s because they are Donald Trump supporters...

Hillary Clinton?

Shhh ! You’re upsetting the media narrative.

The sTrumpettes are a cult of personality, much like the Obozo supporters.

Really like Cruz but Trump can get the crossover votes. I’m ok with either one whoever can beat the halloween cackler and her incompetent corruptions.

[Red Steel]

See her twitter page to peruse the postings. It’s a full blown liberal Communist page.

I wish posters would get rid of the annoying “”” crap before posting.

[cripplecreek]

It doesn’t have anything to do with the posters.

[PIF]

I prefer “Trumpeters” as that most closely describes their rabid and noisy support of the old fraud.

But certainly not like Cruzers, right . . .

Because, Donald Trump put a steak in the heart of PC tyrrany! Forever grateful!

Why yes. There's Hillary, and there's Bernie. If the author doesn't think they are polarizing, he's either a partisan for them, or not paying attention.

Whatever is causing this, it’s got to be corrected as it’s driving me, along with I would guess all other Freepers, nutz big time. Enough! Where’s the fix?

I thought it was a glitch in my computer—apparently others are having the same problem.

They are html translation oddities which can be removed by the poster.
