This is the winning message for Trump.

Voters trust him on Jobs and Economy. (yes, Immigration is a JOBS issue)He need to focus on and hammer his economic message.

Polling shows the Economic message is by far the number 1 issue for voters.

"...Go Trump!"

I think this poll is more in tune with the real situation, almost identical to the Morning Consult poll...

Agree, but the ILLEGAL ALIEN INVASION is more than just jobs. It is millions of new RAT voters, it is language, borders, and culture being destroyed right before out eyes while most of America sits on the back side watching sports, Kardahians, or porn.

Yes but before you can do anything about the Illegal Alien Invasion, you got to win the primary and the general elections.

Voters care about Economic issues (37%) more then the are worried about Illegal Aliens (9%. Trump wins on the Economy and Jobs

That 9% might mean a lot more in some ways: it's believed the 25% support Trump has with African Americans is because of his immigration stance.

"And more Republicans would trust him with the nation's nuclear weapons than most of the rest of their party's presidential primary field."

"I think that I would probably get along with him [Putin] very well."
-Donald Trump, CBS' Face The Nation, Oct 2015

=========================================================

Ted Cruz on Russia, Syria, Obama, 'missile defense', and the New START Treaty with Russia...

"If we want to actually dismantle ISIS, we need to dramatically change course. We need a real, robust campaign that maximizes our overwhelming air advantage.

We need to focus our efforts not on trying to create friends, but on supporting our real ones, especially the Kurds in Iraq and Syria who have actually had success against ISIS."

-snip-

"We can redouble our efforts to develop the defensive weapons that neutralized the offensive Soviet threat -- particularly missile defense, which has seen a 25% budget reduction under Obama, according to an analysis from the conservative Heritage Foundation, and has been constrained by bad arms deals like New START.

We should not only move quickly to install the canceled interceptor sites Putin opposed in Poland and the Czech Republic, but also to develop the next generation of systems that will only increase his discomfiture.

These options do not entail a ground war in Syria, yet would effectively shake us free from the failed policies that have brought us to our current impasse.

These options set us on a new path that puts Putin on notice that the United States is reclaiming our traditional role as leader of the free world."

http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/09/opinions/cruz-syria-putin/index.html

**********************************************************

"I think it would be a mistake to get involved in the Syrian civil war. There have been voices in Washington eager for us to send our sons and daughters over to fight that civil war for some time. I haven't been one of them. I think the touchstone of U.S. military policy should be protecting the national security of this country."

"What we're seeing Putin in Russia do is a direct response to the profound weakness of Obama over six and a half years.

Putin views Obama as weak, as ineffective, and frankly, as a laughingstock. And, as a result, he is moving in, he is invading his neighbors, like Ukraine, he's kidnapping Estonians, and he's moving into Syria to gain a stronger foothold in the Middle East."

**********************************************************

Ted Cruz:
"We need a coherent plan to address both the specific crisis in Syria and the challenge posed more broadly by Putin's resurgent Russia.

The good news is that America still has options, if our leaders can summon the will to exercise them.

For starters, in Syria we can't double down on the failed strategies that have given Putin his opportunity to intervene.

We are now two years out from President Obama's proposed intervention after al-Assad used chemical weapons against his own people. ..."

"According to the Washington Free Beacon, Russia's nuclear arsenal how has over 100 nuclear warheads above the limit set by the treaty.

Since the treaty was launched, Russia has deployed 111 new nuclear warheads, bringing its total number of deployed warheads to 1,648. That treaty limit is 1,550 warheads — a number that must be reached in 2018.

Comparatively, the numbers of U.S. nuclear warheads, missiles and bombers have fallen dramatically and are already below the limits set by the treaty. Additionally, the United States has decreased the number of warheads in its deployed nuclear arsenal by 250.

While the United States intends to eliminate heavy bombers and launchers, Russia has launched a strategic nuclear force expansion.

Russian President Vladimir Putin also recently announced a new doctrine that placed priority on nuclear forces.

If this raises concern for you, you are not alone.

Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Strategic Forces, said Russia "is in the business of violating treaties."

Rogers said Putin has violated several agreements and treaties in the past, and he simply "violates any treaty or agreement that puts limits on capabilities that Mr. Putin and his cronies desire."

"Russia's arguable adherence to the New START Treaty just indicates how bad a deal it is for the United States," he said.

Adm. William Gortney, commander of the U.S. Northern Command, said Wednesday that Russia has read our play book and is "fielding cruise missiles that are very, very accurate, very long range."

Gortney said these missiles have the ability to reach targets in Canada and the United States. He added that Russia has been participating in war game scenarios recently that simulate cruise missile strikes in Alaska.

This news is serious because it appears Russia has no intention of abiding by New START or any other treaty. We should therefore be building up our military and our arsenals instead of depleting them.

Russia Adds 111 Warheads Under Arms Treaty
Moscow warheads above New START treaty limit

By: Bill Gertz
October 9, 2015

Russia has now deployed more than 100 nuclear warheads in its strategic arsenal above the limits set by the New START arms treaty limits, two years before it must meet treaty arms reduction goals.

"New START nuclear warhead and delivery system numbers made public Oct. 1 reveal that since the 2010 arms accord went into force, Moscow increased the number of deployed nuclear warheads by a total of 111 weapons for a total of 1,648 deployed warheads. That number is 98 warheads above the treaty limit of 1,550 warheads that must be reached by the 2018 deadline of the treaty.

At the same time, U.S. nuclear warheads, missiles, and bombers have fallen sharply and remain below the required levels under the New START pact.

The United States during the same period of the Russian increases cut its deployed nuclear arsenal by 250 warheads. ..." (more...)

The New START Treaty: Central Limits and Key Provisions
Congressional Research Service

Summary

The United States and Russia signed the New START Treaty on April 8, 2010. After more than 20 hearings, the U.S. Senate gave its advice and consent to ratification on December 22, 2010, by a vote of 71-26. Both houses of the Russian parliament (the Duma and Federation Council) approved the treaty in late January 2011, and it entered into force on February 5, 2011, after Secretary of State Clinton and Foreign Minister Lavrov exchanged the instruments of ratification.

New START provides the parties with 7 years to reduce their forces, and will remain in force for a total of 10 years. It limits each side to no more than 800 deployed and nondeployed land-based intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) and submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) launchers and deployed and nondeployed heavy bombers equipped to carry nuclear armaments.

Within that total, each side can retain no more than 700 deployed ICBMs, deployed SLBMs, and deployed heavy bombers equipped to carry nuclear armaments. The treaty also limits each side to no more than 1,550 deployed warheads; those are the actual number of warheads on deployed ICBMs and SLBMs, and one warhead for each deployed heavy bomber.

New START contains detailed definitions and counting rules that will help the parties calculate the number of warheads that count under the treaty limits. Moreover, the delivery vehicles and their warheads will count under the treaty limits until they are converted or eliminated according to the provisions described in the treaty's Protocol. These provisions are far less demanding than those in the original START Treaty and will provide the United States and Russia with far more flexibility in determining how to reduce their forces to meet the treaty limits. ..."

This isn’t a football game. It’s the security of our nation. Cruz is far wiser than Trump on this and most other important issues.

I have been keeping track of four major national polls each week and their averages.

Despite what the MSM and establishment want you to believe wit a single poll, here's what those averages say:

The debate poll above is an average of five large online polls after the debate where tens of thousands of individual entries were taken. Here's how that average was calculated:

You’re right...it isn’t football. It’s 3-D chess, on steroids.

I DISAGREE about your assessment of Cruz.

Sen Cruz is my Senator. I’ve supported Cruz - financially and by volunteering - since he first ran against Dewhurst.

Cruz may be brilliant (as is Trump) and he may be very well versed on all things Constitutional...but, Cruz lacks the day to day experience to handle ALL levels of presiding over this nation. Someone with more experience than arguing in front of the Supreme Court or on the Senate floor (government/political jobs). Cruz would make an excellent AG or SCOTUS, imo.

I want someone who has owned corporations...that has signed the FRONT of the payroll checks, managed entire staffs on multiple levels (corporate, regional, international...VP’s, CFO’s, mid-level on down) and has successfully negotiated internationally.

And, finally....I want someone who has promised to not just stop the influx of illegals pouring in to our country/open borders, but who’s also promised to deport those here illegally as well as put up a permanent barrier (Trump Wall) and empower our Border Patrol and LEO to enforce our immigration laws.

Trump’s Immigration plan is EXACTLY what we conservatives have been clamoring for, for DECADES. He knows that illegal immigration is absolutely destroying the bedrock of this nation and hurting the American worker, more and more, each day it’s allowed to fester.

Not to mention Trump’s fantastic Tax Plan, 2nd Amendment and Veteran’s stance.

That’s Trump. And, that’s why I support Trump.

(I’m sure Cruz supporters appreciate all of your Cruz points, on Cruz threads, though ;-)

Well why not go over to a Cruz thread and support him?

You think by parroting your political campaign crap is going to sway Trump supporters to follow you or your guy? You'll have better luck juggling flaming chainsaws while roller skating.
