Veteran pollster John Zogby is continuing to stick to his longstanding prediction that Republican front-runner Donald Trump's run for president will not last.
"I'm in a margin-of-error business, so plus or minus a couple of weeks I do think he'll fizzle out, I really do," Zogby, senior analyst at Zogby Analytics, tells "Newsmax Prime" with J.D. Hayworth on Newsmax TV.

No one is hindering Cruz’ campaign. That statement reeks of victimhood. Each candidate is ranking/polling on their own merits.
A lot of people like the idea of Santa Clause too. Doesn't make him real.
