Donald Trump Can’t Afford to Lose His “Front-Runner” Status
slate.com ^ | Oct. 14 2015 | Josh Voorhees

Posted on 10/15/2015 4:19:01 PM PDT by Berlin_Freeper

The current Republican front-runner has a polling problem. A new Fox News survey shows Donald Trump with a single-point lead on Ben Carson, 24 percent to 23 percent, a gap that is well within the survey’s margin of error and 7 points smaller than it was when the same pollsters asked the question last month.

Polls can be manipulated for a time. Go by crowds.

Usual Leftist nonsense from Slate.

So Slate, we should ignore all the other polls, all the state polls, and ONLY focus on the one that says what you want to hear about Trump?

Wrong. Even should Donald lose his front runner status now, there is a long stretch of time between now and the election.
We have a whole calendar year for his popularity to flow and ebb. The key is to peak at the right time, and promote the momentum.

I see they have an ad first if you want to read the article, The History Of Slavery,

I wonder if they will begin with how for Thousands of Years and even Today AFRICANS hold their fellow man in SLAVERY?

the surgeon doesn’t see the need for “assault” weapons, whatever they are, in big cities.

didn’t know who former fed chairman was,.

thinks guys go into prison straight and come out gay.

like ive said before, had acquaintances who were gangster that went to jail and when they came out they wanted a nice Italian meal and a woman.

I never asked what they did in jail and they never told me.

there’s a picture of 10 of them together. how do you get a picture taken in prison?

Tough bunch so i would be surprised if they were forced into anything, and for 1 to 6 years, i dont think that’s long enough to do the deed with guys.

Trump’s whole raison d’etre had been how great he has been doing in the polls. When he loses that, he loses everything.

Your supposed counterexample is met with many statistics and is pretty silly. The point being that circumstances can force the issue on people who might not have yielded.

It’s been that Donald’s been telling off the press and screaming liberals and getting broad support for doing that.

I don’t see him wanting to stop any time soon.

Carson is a (political) dark horse.

what does that have to do with the lie that people go into prison straight and come out gay.

having sex with men in prison and coming out right back to women doesn’t make one gay,

someone who thinks that is ignorant

Prove that it is a lie. One counter example is not a proof that it is a lie.

You claim to be not ignorant by implication. Now you have made your accusation the onus is on you, not me. Produce your data.
