NBC Poll: Trump Up Again, Holds 10-Point Lead After Debate (Sorry Erick)

Businessman Donald Trump remains the leader in the race for the GOP presidential nomination in the wake of the first debate, a new NBC/Survey Monkey poll shows.

Businesswoman Carly Fiorina, widely touted as the winner of the earlier "happy hour" debate of the lower-tiered candidates also got good news. She rose six points up to 8 percent – enough to put her in fourth place. If that trend continues in other polls she would earn a spot in the next GOP debate in September between the top 10 candidates.

The poll was conducted during a 24-hour period overnight Friday into Saturday morning while controversy raged over Trump's debate exchanges with Fox News moderator Megyn Kelly and his remarks about her later. That also was coupled with RedState chief Erick Erickson's decision to disinvite Trump to speak to the RedState Gathering on Saturday.

The trumps are a close.family. Children, together at work. Grandparents. They spent a lot of time going up and down their elevator at TT. Dinner at home between 6-7 some family time then older ones back to work if there is a project that needs it.
Both Don Jr and Ivanka have talked about the self discipline. And work ethic the family tries to pass down through the generations.

Several post.on live thread here questioned if she was drunk early on. Almost as soon as the debate started. Hmmmm? There was a cocktail. Hour before the debate for all the audience

Did she “find gawd” in Faux hole.
(The tease about God and her questions on religion upset more than any of the Trump malarkey)

Maybe she was nauseous from too much booze. Maybe there WAS blood coming from her eyes. I’ve had such bad hangovers that my eyes looked like they were bleeding. Especially from the inside looking out.

Unfortunately, I did not get to watch the debate ... Just followed the real-time postings here on FR - until the replies all went to Warp 5 ... and then I just gave up and signed off. So, I did not get to the “religious” remarks. But, knowing how MK et al performed up to the point I logged off, I’ll bet is was revolting.

This is something I have been pondering. Right now the establishment is fuming that Trump is leading with Ted Cruz right behind him. Like I have stated I believe Donald and Ted are working together. Remember they had numerous meetings together before Cruz announce he was running. I believe that perhaps Ted warned Donald about the inside of the political establishment.

Now with Trump leading, many feel as I do that perhaps we may not have an election. I just wonder knowing Trump is growing in strength, that Obama could create a crisis to halt elections until the crisis is over (that is if it is over).

I guess it sounds silly, any thoughts.

Bloodshot was the first thing * when listening to Lemon interview live. Later when he said “nose” someone suggested ‘coke.
Trumps older brother died of substance abuse. Maybe he picked up on something and was just dropping the public a hint at what he saw

35% of what sort of GOP? Let me guess - the spineless gutless establishment brood - the same fools who nominate and then have wet orgasms over the likes of Jebby, Mittens, and McLame. You’re right, that’s a problem ... And it’s why we got stuck with Obama - twice. So keep pandering to those “more electable” RINO rump swabs ... the gutless girly men who could not fight their way out of a wet paper bag.

[The most glaring detail that no one seems to notice is that three of the top four in polls are non politicians.
The voters are tired of the professional politicians.]

Very good observation. The Silent Majority is speaking at last, and the GOPe have their panties in a wad.

Egg on their faces again. This is now the third poll showing no change against Trump. Cruz and Carson are also moving up, beating back Yeb. I love the way this race is playing out!
