There is an important - absolutely critical - difference between an inspired, consistent and conservative leader on one hand - and the cheap, easy, media-centric substitute. Frothy, populist anger is no substitute for principled leadership.

AMEN!

In fair balance, voters are picking our winner, not some paid hack!

BREAKING: New Hampshire Poll - Donald Trump Extends Lead - More Than Cruz, Rubio, Bush Combined

by sundance
A new poll From Franklin Pierce (full pdf below) on behalf of the Boston Herald shows Donald Trump gaining an additional 5 points in the past week. Trump now dominates the New Hampshire polling with 38%, Ted Cruz with 13% and Bush/Rubio with 10% each.

In addition, almost 60% of New Hampshire voters now see Donald Trump as inevitable Republican Presidential Nominee:

Well, this is the first quarter of a football game that will determine, to a large degree, the future shape of our world. I said this to a lady at a dinner recently, she called me a right-wing nut, and I just smiled at her not wanting to verbally reduce her to a fly speck.....

Obama won polls, too.

Look that got us.

Here is a very recent link for an article summing up the Iowa Secretary of State’s reaction to the Cruz shaming mailer. It also includes a view of the milder mailer that Rubio sent out. Rubio’s does not make threats, or imply a legal menace, and does not list neighbors’ names.

Although it has been suggested that a strong mailer might increase voting, there is a big difference between going to a poll and putting a paper in a slot versus talking with people in the community who may show you a piece of paper, like the “Violation” notice and asking, “How on earth could you support a man like Cruz who would threaten you like this?” This will likely backfire bigtime.

It will be interesting if Iowa brings legal challenges to those who tried to intimidate Iowa voters~

I'm a Cruz supporter, but I think this is not a very strong argument. Reagan was who he was and that's what we needed at the time. While we could definitely have used more of it since then, maybe now we need someone a little harsher.

I'm voting for Trump if he's the nominee.

Based on these standards

Taunting. Personal anger. Arrogance. Intentional offense. Preoccupation with Power. Self-adulation

All of the current candidates but Ben Carson are unqualified to be President.

Pretty sad article.

Thanks for the link re Cruz self inflicted descent from his heaven to where he is now.

[smoothsailing]

I started out being a Trump/Cruz supporter, thinking they would make a good team.

Cruz has turned out to be a huge disappointment.

[Grampa Dave]

Same here. January has shown many of us what the real Cruz is like with his buddy beck.

BOL!

[smoothsailing]

Yeah, Reagan won polls too. I guess you don’t like that either...

[Jewbacca]

Trump is no Reagan. Not even close.
