Donald Trump has surged to the lead in the New Hampshire GOP presidential primary and virtually erased Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walkers advantage in the Iowa caucuses, according to new NBC News/Marist polls released Sunday.
In Iowa, Walker still tops the field with 19 percent, the poll shows only two points ahead of Trump, who garners 17 percent. Interviews for the poll began on July 14 the day after the Walker campaigns launch event in Wisconsin. The only other candidate in double digits is former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, at 12 percent.
Those lagging behind include a number of candidates banking on strong finishes in Iowa. Neurosurgeon Ben Carson is in fourth place, at 8 percent, followed by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee at 7 percent, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul at 5 percent, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz at 4 percent and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio at 4 percent.

I like Cruz also. He will be even better if he can get away from his rich donors. If he joins Trump, he does nor need his rich donors and will be really independent. Go Trump/Cruz 2016!
Ah Texas... you continue to miss the whole point of this exercise! That is too bad since you are from Texas and surely disappointed with our current RINO Republicans in Washington.
So I would ask you, just what are you hoping for in this election? Do you really think that another Washington assigned candidate will be your savior? Another milk toast Republican/Democrat to lead us into more debt while thumbing their noses at the public?
Don’t you think that it is high time to shake that tree?
Really, how can Trump be any worse than what we now have?
Book marking! Great video. Trump is getting real good real fast on the stump!
I have no problem with Cruz getting money from Frackers...Fracking is good.
Then why is Cruz standing with Trump? He has supported Trump at every so called misstep. I also believe Cruz’ actions in the Senate last week are in support of Trump’s anti-establishment message.
Do you not grasp that the Majority of GOP House and Senators
turn on us every single day?
Do you trust Bonehead and McConnell?
We do not know what Trump will do. It is too early to tell.
But we do know that the GOP House and Senators turn on conservatives
every day, don’t we?
How hard is it for you to understand that Trumps current strength comes
from GOP weakness and broken promises.
Fix the GOP weakness and broken promises and you won’t have to worry
about Trumps and Perot’s.
Reading this gave me a headache.
Could be raining.
Has someone else filled in ALL the details. Must have missed it.
YES, I knew it, most of us knew it. And Ted Sorensen helped to puff him up .
Staying home, that is really smart.
I’m sorry but are you out of your FReeping mind?
What are people hoping for this Election?
How about a chance to vote for the most conservative candidate since Ronald Reagan, a candidate that can articulate conservative principles effectively without watering it down, a candidate that when they were elected, kept the promises of what they said they would do, a candidate that will do whatever they can to save America from the brink, a candidate that I KNOW will win in a landslide if given the chance to run as the nominee because his greatest asset, TRUST (which was also Reagan’s) will be the deciding factor.
You’re calling Cruz “Another Washington assigned candidate” shows you have no business voting. Anyone that knows Ted Cruz knows that Cruz has been “shaking the tree” ever since he was on the scene.
I want to save this country. Trump will not take the steps necessary to save this country. That means conditions will not improve. You want to vote for this fraud, fine, but I’m sticking with Cruz.
Sounds like a winner to me.
Imagine if we in the USA could just start making 10% of the world's PCs that we sell to our own people . just that would create so many jobs,prosperity that it would make us Americans all RICHER. do you all see that? Me and Trump have understood it for ages. that's just one product.
Trump knows how to do it. no other politicians even have a clue what China is doing and are owned by China anyway.
2. build a wall and get Mexico to pay for it
3. Defeat Jeb Bush
yes there are many more but those are my top 3 . and my 2 bigger issues China and illegals.
Because guys like Trump... are the stuff dictators are made of.
I fear for our country with people now willing to flock to these cults of personality (first with Obama and now Trump)
This wont end well.
Plato said that democracy always ends in tyranny ... we are near the end I fear.
I’m voting for Cruz too.
But you get bet your ass that this time around I’ll be voting for the nominee to make sure the Communists Sanders, Clinton or O’Malley don’t get in there.

Me and Trump have understood it for ages. that's just one product : now extrapolate that to 1000 other products like cell phones etc. that we would be building in the USA as opposed to being made in China.

You bet it is if Cruz isn’t the nominee.
This site has been praying for a man like Cruz to run for over 20 years. And here he is. The man is literally Reagan 2.0 and I could show you a checklist of where he’s looked at and studied Reagan and Reagan’s campaigning techniques and taken them to heart.
Hillary Clinton sucks and lacks trust. If we have a general election where we run an ACTUAL HONEST TO GOD CONSERVATIVE, we’ll win. There is NO excuse for not nominating our most strongest conservative candidate by far.
I’m not voting for anymore liberal Republicans. Trump is a liberal Republican at best. If we can’t get a real conservative at the top of a ticket in the most important election in this country’s history, then there’s no point in voting.
No, your problem is that you are still hoping and praying for yesterday’s election. You seem to have lost your way while watching the last 20 years or so. The Republicans are no more Conservative than the Democrats - except for a very few running and they have no chance because the institution is against them. Wake up! No Conservative will ever win until this Washington elite group is defeated! Look at the Better Business Bureau talking about trying to rid the Republicans of Conservatives. Do you actually think that this is not the position of the Republican Party? If so, you are being way to naive.
Trump is destroying their plans and causing them to either put up or shut up. So far, their response has been to attempt to destroy him through the MSM, good luck with that! That is a good thing!
It’s okay to be naive but when commenting here, you ought to at least be up to date on the state of the Republican Party and only if you were living underground would you be sorry that Trump is shaking things up!
