Trump poll ping. Release date is the 8th for polling done through 2/7
Surprising Christie didn’t get a little bigger bump. He was quite masterful at taking down the little open borders, pretty faced Rubio - the Republican John Edwards.
I hope the poll is accurate. It would be nice to see Trump get a really lopsided victory, which would really help him in SC and NV. I’m not getting my hopes up too high.
I still can’t believe that 10% might be tossing their vote down the sinkhole for Jebbie Bush. Would love for him to stay in single numbers.
14:40 to Dixville Notch.
Soros advisor gave $200k to boost Kasich

A close associate of far-left activist billionaire George Soros gave a super PAC supporting Ohio Gov. John Kasich $200,000, the third largest contribution made to the Kasich presidential effort as of the end of 2015.
Soros, who has given $7 million to a PAC backing Hillary Clinton this election cycle, is a huge backer of all things liberal. This election, Soros has made clear his opposition to the GOP front-runners, saying: We must reaffirm our commitment to the principles of open society and resist the siren song of the likes of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, however hard that may be.
Kasich is poised to halt the momentum of either Trump or Cruz should he have a strong showing in New Hampshire. The latest RealClearPolitics polling average puts Kasich tied for third with Sen. Marco Rubio in the Granite State at 10.7 percent, just a point behind Cruz.
The Kasich super PAC New Day For America received the $200,000 in the form of two separate contributions from Scott Bessent, then-chief investment officer of Soros Fund Management LLC, Federal Election Commission data analysed by the Center for Responsive Politics show. He also made the largest personal donation allowed by law directly to the Kasich campaign, $2,700.

The way delegates are allocated it looks like Trump can get 10 of 20 out of this result. It takes a ten percent threshold to win any in NH. So Cruz and Rubio might get 4 each with Jeb getting 2.
Most of the northern more moderate states and Florida have winner take all formats kicking in from March 15th on.
The GOPe still has until then to stop Trump.
Trump is a PRAGMATIST. He is neither a ideologue nor religious fanatic nor fiscal fanatic nor abortion fanatic.
Trump’s whole life is solving problems. He sees a problem, he gets to work on solving it.
First proof of that was how quickly he fixed the problem with the ice skating ring in NY city. That is his mode op operation. See a problem, devise the best solution, and go to work on it. Latest example of that is the US Post office in Washington DC. He observed the potential of it’s location, and put in a very high bid which nobody could beat. And now he is building the most luxurious hotel in DC there. With his knowledge and experience in construction of large buildings, it is already ahead of schedule and under budget.
Americans would be stupid to reject Trump and install another know nothing, smooth speech maker career politician as president. But do not hold your breath. We Americans have been electing lot of people who never worked in the private sector, and have been cashing government checks all their life. We will get the president our intellect deserves.
