Hey, what happened to Carly Fiorina’s bounce in the polls?

I’m not asking that rhetorically. I really don’t know the answer. You tell me what’s going on here.

Have a look at HuffPo’s table of national polling in the GOP primary. The second debate, Fiorina’s breakout moment, was held on September 16th. In the last poll taken before that day, she was stuck at two percent. The next poll? 22 percent, tied with Trump nationally. She never approached that number again but she hit double digits in various polls afterward, notching 11, 15, 7, 6, 12, and 11 percent in the six surveys that followed. A week after that, at the very end of September, she was still pulling double digits in some polls, hitting 9, 8, 11, 9, and 13 percent. That last poll, conducted by a reputable outlet (Suffolk) from September 24 to 28, left her tied with Ben Carson for second behind Trump. A promising couple of weeks for Carly.

Since then, though, she hasn’t hit double digits once. This month she’s done 9, 9, 6, 7, 6, 7, 6, and 5 percent in the most recent Morning Consult poll. She’s within a couple of points of Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush in most of those polls, but she trails Rubio fairly consistently, at least, and she’s well behind Trump and Carson. In two polls, in fact, she trails Ted Cruz. What happened? The self-serving lefty explanation, as you might expect, is that she’s been exposed as some sort of fraud in her claims about Planned Parenthood and is paying the price. Never mind whether that’s true or not — it isn’t, but left-wing “factcheckers” know what their mission is when PP is threatened....

So does being from the capital of liberalism, New York City, do someone credit? Having exclusively liberal friends, not being friends with a single conservative?

Hmmm. Of course. Equal disparity, is a well recognized tout, among socialist fascist pugilists. Untrue is untrue, there no blessings in lies- when presented as truth. Get ready, your worst fears are almost arrived.

What does that mean?

Both candidates are liberals from liberal enclaves, and have a lot more business failures than they like to admit. There is no way either of them would ever be conservative leaders. But we should be conned into believing one of them would?

The race is between Trump, Carson and Cruz, the rest are just hanging around enjoying the free money from their dwindling supporters.

One of the candidates owned and failed, and prospered others & himself, along the rocky road of construction development. One of the candidates, worked for owners and never produced a single mid-range success, and actually murdered a couple of companies under her direct oversight- for profit. Never once having any skin in her failures.

It’s too early for that. Hopefully, and actual conservative will enter the race.

One of the candidates was handed a fortune, then used big government cronyism, instead of capitalism, to try to make up for his competencies. One candidate bankrupted four companies, and twice had to be bailed out to avoid personal bankruptcy. Once candidate is a member of the mainstream media who made money off a show peddling gutter values to the public. One candidate used a media property he owned to let a gay activist promote gay marriage to the public and slam Christians on broadcast TV.

What is your point, regardless of the unavoidably meandering non-specific slur campaign against Mr. Trump? Apparently, you are biased by personal issues, against the United States of America. Right, nick?

No, I am biased in favor of the United States. I don’t want any amnesty candidate.

Amnesty for what? Abortion corporations? Labor by slavery corporate interests? Selling off United States zoning rights? How about selling Our right to educate Our children, to OBJECT TO ALL FORMS OF TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT SUBJUCATION BY ALL MEANS NECCESSARY? Amnesty candidate? What are you even talking about, no-go? ...
