Carsons poll numbers are fake. The Carson surge was made up out of whole cloth a few weeks after the first debate in an effort to get people who like to back a winner to believe he could take out Trump. The idea was to split the “non-establishment candidate” vote to make room for Jeb to slide back in.

Once the belief was planted, people started saying they’d vote for Carson but I’m not buying it’s because they support him. I think they’re bandwagon jumpers who don’t want to jump on Trumps bandwagon. I also don’t see people disenfranchised with Jeb going to Carson and then BACK to Jeb.

In addition to yellow journalism, the establishment supporters also have paid activists ($10 to $18 per hour) working the comment sections of the internet. These paid trolls attempt to undermine discussions by inserting disinformation, derailing thread topics, or inserting enough comments to prevent discussion from occurring.

Yes. And this is true of other subjects than politics.

The MSM like to use national data because it dilutes the conservative support of the red states. The GOPe does the same. Good states polls with a reasonable sample rate is the best indication of support not only in the state but among that party’s base. If the state polls are reflective of state support then this should be nearly over.

The liberals do the same in blue states. Huge majorities in California, New York, Illionois etc increase their national numbers and influence media coverage and the public at large. If the MSM reported polling by state one would see it is actually closer than it appears in national polls between Republicans and Democrats. The polling depresses the turnout especially for republicans in the west coast states who believe their vote really does not matter even though it could be critical at the local and state level.

I’ve been asked to advise folks here at FR that they are using the WRONG donation page for Trump! The scammers (Yes, they are even collecting donations...see: http://towncriernews.blogspot.com/.../gop-lobbyistscon... )are out thick and collecting Millions off his name fooling his supporters. This is the thread: http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3350354/posts.... This is the ONLY correct link for donations and to buy gear/signs: https://secure.donaldjtrump.com/donations/make-a-donation/

Put this up yesterday, but I don't think I labeled it very well.

I believe folks will find it useful for making quick comparisons.

Great summary.

The MSM, including Fox, are in absolute meltdown mode. They can’t believe the RINO establishment is going to be wiped off the map.

The Chamber of Commerce has a $100 million war chest to defeat Tea Party candidates. Are they going to hand it to Hillary?

Precisely and the Fox News and WSJ polls are the only two Ailes pimps on the news

They throw the whole thing off being outliers

Toss them and Trumps average is +7

Fox is the main tool in GOPe Arsenal to kill the Hair

It’s not the same comparison

Both Levin and Rush dissected that oft touted GOPe claim

Oh yes believe me

They will find a woman somewhere to say salacious stuff about Trump

He like me loves the ladies

They can be found like when he had Marla in Aspen same time as Ivana

A multitasker the Donald

I that’s where the marriage ground to a halt

Sarah teased and flared off after that crazy book....though I’m not sure was ever gonna run....it was way late by then

Trump is running and campaigning like a mad man

Big difference

Palin drew huge crowds as VP candidate and decent crowds in defeat

I paid 750 for wife and I to see her in 2009 at Tea Party convention

She and Trump are apples and oranges

I actually think he’s got more under his belt but she’s stronger ideologically no question

‘They will find a woman somewhere to say salacious stuff about Trump.’

She would need either a blue dress or photos. Otherwise Trump will sue her till he dies, and task his heirs with suing her after he’s gone. Even the blue dress might not be enough; she’d have to prove she was the one wearing it...at the time.
