Meanwhile, in the Republican presidential race, Donald Trump now holds a seven-point lead in Iowa and a 16-point one in New Hampshire.
In the Hawkeye State, Trump gets the support from 29 percent of potential GOP caucus-goers, while Ben Carson receives 22 percent. There's a steep drop off after that: Jeb Bush gets 6 percent; Carly Fiorina, Rand Paul and Scott Walker get 5 percent; and Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Bobby Jindal are at 4 percent.
In July, Walker was ahead of the Iowa Republican field at 19 percent, Trump was second at 17 percent and Bush was third at 12 percent.
In the Granite State, Trump is at 28 percent — followed by John Kasich at 12 percent, Carson at 11 percent, Bush at 8 percent and Fiorina at 6 percent; Walker is down to 4 percent.
Back in July, the top three in New Hampshire were Trump (21 percent), Bush (14 percent) and Walker (12 percent). View the full Iowa poll here.
Ouch.
Truth hurts.
I get a kick out of you and others who proclaim Trump is not a conservative, or that he is a false conservative. So why are you and these other people failed miserably to accomplish anything conservative since Reagan left? What’s the matter, no one likes you or your ideas?
What exactly have the “true conservatives” in congress accomplished?
Obamacare scrapped?
Illegals deported?
Wall built?
Abortion outlawed?
National debt reduced?
If Trump can deliver 2 or 3 from above, he is more than enough conservative for me and most rational people. But you can go on supporting “true conservatives” who have accomplished nothing worthwhile. Each to his own.
I get a kick out of morons who cannot develop a third grade reading comprehension, and who are logically challenged. Trump has liberal tendencies, liberal leanings, liberal reflexes. If you’re not smart enough or man enough to understand and admit it, so be it.
And your stupid ridiculous third grade “what have true conservatives” accomplished in Congress is a total straw dog false choice question, given that we’ve NEVER HAD A TRUE CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY in Congress, ever. period. What an absurd and idiotic idea of yours.
But mainly my problem is with knee pad supporters like yourself, not with Trump himself or with his reasonable supporters, which are few and far between on FR (tho there are some).
So why only a few “true” conservatives get elected to congress? Could it be because they fail to resonate with voters? Or is it because they say one thing and then do another as dictated by their rich donors?
I am convinced it is their rich donors calling the shots. The career politicians dare not offend their rich donors!
And that is why I am taking a chance with Trump. He has no rich donors. Is he a perfect conservative in all aspects? Nope. But I am done doing the same thing and expecting a different result with the career politicians.
It will be either Trump or Carson for me in 2016. I prefer Trump only because he has a much bigger megaphone and stronger personality.
