After nearly half a dozen Iowa polls have shown Trump in second place well behind Dr. Ben Carson, we're getting to see just how he handles pressure.

It's not IA, but it's significant.
Don’t tell me you guys at IBD are drinking the establishment koolaid too.
A bit premature.
If it weren’t for the evangelicals who don’t know Carson belongs to a cult and the corn crack sniffers, Carson wouldn’t even be registering in Iowa.
Yeah. You’re a real card. Problem is, you cannot see the forest for the trees.
that is christian sour grapes bs
I expect Carson to win the Iowa caucus. He’s their kind of guy. Openly Christian, mild mannered and mostly moderate.
But the Iowa caucus means very little. Ronald Reagan in 1980 didn’t bother to campaign in Iowa because he knew they liked squishy moderates like Daddy Bush.
At least half the time the winner fizzles out afterwards.
site pimps should be in chat forum
A good history lesson for these Trump-haters to remember, after GHWB won those Iowa caucuses (and his margin of victory wasn’t all that great), Reagan fired his moron of a campaign manager John Sears, brought in William Casey (who would later become his CIA Director) and from there to the convention, Reagan kicked that elitist RINO’s rump day in and day out.
Trump I predict, will do likewise with Dr. Squish-on-the-2nd-Amendment.
The Four Major Cults: Christian Science, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormonism, Seventh-Day Adventism - By: Anthony A. Hoekema
One of many books written on the subject. This one from christianbooks.com. Amazon also has a nice selection.

I also recommend “Kingdom of the Cults”.
“The IBD/TIPP poll was the first national poll to show Carson taking the lead from Trump. Since then, the New York Times/CBS News and Reuters polls have come up with similar
results.”
So, now there are three national polls showing Carson is ahead. This article is a good one showing Trump’s reactions as he is faced with these results, including the Iowa poll showing Carson ahead.
We will see how he handles himself from this point forward and including tonight, whether poll numbers will be brought up tonight.
...and here's the trend line of the averages of each weeks major polls (and they differ from week to week in terms of who takes them) since the first of septmeber.
Speaks for itself:
Yea, like Iowa matters to anyone.
I just hope Trump will focus on what HE plans to do while pointing out the sneakiness of the House GOP’s members who voted to pass another Obama budget and break more promises they made to their supporters.
I’d love for him to say Boehner gave us all the finger on his way out. If he hurls insults to Carson or Cruz, it will only hurt him, IMO.
I believe what has happened is Bush’s supporters dropped him, and went to Carson.
At least they’re saying that.
It allows them to feel like they’re impacting the system. Trump needs to stay on his game, but Carson’s supporters are newer than Trumps (at least many of them) and more subject to changing their minds.
Granted if they stay his supporters long-term his support solidifies, but right now it seems Carson got a bunch of people who had been Bush supporters.
We shall see. :D
Considering Santorum won the 2012 Iowa Caucus I’m of the same opinion that Iowa means little.
By ‘grieving,’ do you mean, ‘celebrating his domination of the race’?
@realDonaldTrump
I’m sure the media will not report the highly respected new national poll that just came out via The Economist. 32%! https://today.yougov.com/news/2015/10/28/trump-leads-nationally-ahead-gop-third-debate/
IBD is the Wall St. news organization of the” cheap Labor Express”
Not surprised, they want someone who needs money and can be bought cheap.
They will be backing Hillary and that is good. The GOPe needs to get a knife in their back from the Cheap Labor Express. Traitors to the American Middle Class.
Trump made the Hedge Fund Guys his enemies with his tax plans closure of Carried Interest.
