OK, it's one poll. I have no idea how valid, or really who "Gravis Marketing" is - though I've heard of them before.
Still fun and a little interesting. And not out of line with national polls...except as Ben Carson is concerned.
Trump - 29
Cruz - 12
Rubio - 10
Christie - 8
Jeb! - 8
Carson - 7
Kasich - 5
Paul - 5
Fiorina - 4
Jindal - 1
Huckster - 1

Thanks, Hank, for the laughs. Well, not the laughs, they were closer to chuckles. Say, what were we talking about?
Actually, I went to the Ted Cruz rally for Religious Liberty at BJU in Greenville yesterday. I would love to see Cruz win. I just don’t think he can.
Trump can win. And we can’t risk having 8 years of Hillary.
I saw Ben answer that also...What a mess.
I have never seen such a wave of stupidity in my entire life. Don't you even listen to what Trump says?
I'm going to give you a nice excerpt from the Fox Business Debate transcript, so that there is absolutely no way you can accuse me of taking this out of context. Read it carefully in his own words:
At the heart of this issue is the effect that illegal immigrants are having on our economy, what will you do about it?
TRUMP: I was so happy yesterday when I saw that decision come down. That was an unbelievable decision.
(APPLAUSE)
And we don't have enough of those decisions coming down. He of the executive order, because nobody wants to listen to him, including the Democrats, so he just goes around signing executive orders. That was a great day. And, frankly, we have to stop illegal immigration. It's hurting us economically. It's hurting us from every standpoint. It's causing tremendous difficulty with respect to drugs and what that does to many of our inner cities in particular.
And it really is -- was such an unbelievable moment because the courts have not been ruling in our favor. And it was a 2-1 decision. And it was a terrific thing that happened.
And I will tell you, we are a country of laws. We need borders. We will have a wall. The wall will be built. The wall will be successful. And if you think walls don't work, all you have to do is ask Israel. The wall works, believe me. Properly done. Believe me.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
BARTIROMO: Can we just send 5 million people back with no effect on economy?
TRUMP: You are going to have to bring people -- you are going to have to send people out. Look, we're a country...
BARTIROMO: So what will you do?
TRUMP: Maria, we're a country of laws. We either have a country or we don't have a country. We are a country of laws. Going to have to go out and they will come back but they are going to have to go out and hopefully they get back.
But we have no choice if we're going to run our country properly and if we're going to be a country.
I've been saying for months that Trump's plan IS a boomerang amnesty just like what Kay Bailey Hutchison proposed in 2007. That plan was rejected as a closet amnesty back then, but FReepers, of all conservatives, are now so desperate they go blind, because Trump knows how to sell a complete fantasy.
Have you noticed that nationally RealClear Politics consistently shows Trump in a dead heat with Carson? I do not get it. They seek out the worst polls for Trump they can find. I was very surprised to see this poll at RealClear.
Trump wins all states on winner take all. GO TRUMP!! Make American Great again. Newt for VP!!
Cruz into 2nd place in NH.
guess i’m riding up there soon ... Cruz or lose.
it is an exciting world out east.
Very good and as I remembered.
More evidence that a George Patton is needed to lead this country out of the 3rd world african mentality that the muslim maggot has constructed for U.S. citizens.
Christie, Yeb and Kacisk are all in on NH.
The Manchester Union Leader is doing everything it can to kneecap Trump. It used to be a conservative newspaper; now, with McQuaid running the paper, it is a GOP-e rag.
“Going to have to go out and they will come back but they are going to have to go out and hopefully they get back.”
Failing to see what you claim it says.
He’s stating that he’s not going to deny citizenship to illegals if they come back through the normal process assuming they are legally allowed to come back. Cruz supports that exact same position. Except he isn’t demanding they leave first.
First, it will NOT be a "normal process," but an expedited one. Second, he says he wants THESE future Democrats to come back as legal immigrants. To support him with that is Republican demographic suicide.
Cruz supports that exact same position.
No. Cruz says he will enforce the law. He also says he wishes to curtail legal immigration pursuant to the unemployment rate which is not in the Donald's published plan. Cruz' plan means they don't come back, Americans get those jobs, and conservatives gain political strength.
I prefer the latter outcome.
