Hey Trump, please go back to being nasty to Ben Carson so Ted Cruz can continue with grabbing the Carson supporters. Thank you.

If you actually look at the Ben Carson drop on a graph, it virtually mirrors Trump's surge up to 42 percent, then as Carson regained a little bit, Trump lost a little bit, and is now at 35 percent, as Carson is stable at 13 or 14 percent. Jeb, Christi and Rubio also all saw an increase, possibly from Carson supporters.

You are going to have to check out the RCP averages(where Trump is at 30.4)and stop drinking the Reuters 42% for Trump poll Kool Aid. The Reuters poll is so bad and out of whack with most other established polls, RCP doesn't even include it in their averages. There is no question Cruz has benefited mightily from Carson's fall in the polls. Just check out the RCP average graphs at RCP:

You may already know thus, in which case disregard. But RCP is very selective in what polls they average. Huffington Post averages all polls, and their current # for Trump is 36.
