Eleven months before the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump is the undisputed leader in the Republican field, as Dr. Ben Carson, in a virtual tie with Trump four weeks ago, drops to third place, according to a Quinnipiac University National poll released today.

Trump gets 27 percent of Republican voters today, with 17 percent for Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, 16 percent each for Carson and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and 5 percent for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. No other candidate tops 3 percent, with 8 percent undecided.

“Not very accurate, like most every poll this primary.”........

The most accurate thing said about said poll.

Palin is so damaged I don’t see her as veep.

Yea Cruz would be foolish to say second place is ok.

[Zenjitsuman]

I think the poll is low, Trump is at 31% that is 4% higher.

Just look at the crowds he gets. He is down from 38% because Cruz picks up some of both Carson’s and Trump’s supporters.

Trump has a core of solid support, and if nobody drops out he is going to win many primaries.

Paul people came to my house wanting me to go to the Nevada Caucus. I don’t know if Trump is organized here or if Cruz is but the Paul people are.

Rubio is taking advantage of the latest terrorist attack in Paris by sounding really tough on terrorism but this is what all the establishment sock puppets do. If you are thinking of supporting Rubio just remember this game is all about playing the voters. YOU ARE BEING PLAYED!

Please realize this and look for the things that give them away such as being part of the Gang of Eight.

I have been following the immigration/illegal immigration problem for twenty years along with many people. You will notice that the sellouts of America, whether Democrat or Republican are all for illegal immigrants. They dance around the issue by saying, yes, we have to protect our borders but we have to give illegals in the country the opportunity to become legal, go through the process, blah, blah, blah.

This is what we have heard from George W. Bush and the Democrats. This is what Boehner, McConnell and Paul Ryan all want. This is what the Washington establishment wants—cheap labor, cheap votes. Bye, bye bothersome free American voters.

Pay close attention to what they say. If they avoid talking about immigration or try to accommodate most of the illegals who have made it in to the country, then they are suspect.

I am supporting Trump because he is the one who came right out and took illegal immigration straight on. No equivocating. He was bold. Contrast Trump to McCain (the war hero) who has bitterly opposed building a wall and who wanted amnesty by another name.

The establishment and their sock puppets are going to avoid talking about immigration. They will barely mention it and that is because they don’t want us to effectively stop it.

So I really can’t think of a strong, conservative woman I would be excited about.

Omarosa.

He has to be. There isn’t anyone left, so Eddie Haskell is the man!

[pfflier]

So, what is happening in the lib alter reality world?

Yahoo "news" is reportig that Carson just lost the national lead of republican candidates.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

I don’t agree with you.

Palin is strong, and has already been vetted. She would be a perfect VP choice in my book.

[Amntn]

Thanks for the ping!

When they are talking about VP picks they are starting to face the reality of Trump winning!

GO TRUMP GO

I’m still hoping for a Trump/Cruz ticket. Cruz says he doesn’t want that... Of course, he doesn’t...he wants to be the top of the ticket. But I think he would take it.

---

Aside from the fact he wants to be the top guy, I actually wouldn’t be surprised is Cruz doesn’t want VP. Think about if Trump wins, how he will be pummeled throughout the general election, and if he wins the general, his entire presidency will be attacked consistently by the media like we’ve never seen before. Based on the chance Trump will have a difficult Presidency with all the changes he will propose (and I believe will make happen) it’s going to be a wild ride. At his age, why would Cruz want to risk having his name sullied in a nasty campaign and a possible messy Trump 1st (and perhaps, only) term? Trump is going into to this on a seek and destroy mission. He has the chutzpah to do it and make good things happen. There will need to be somebody who can take it from there. If Cruz is the VP during the slash and burn, it may be hard to overcome that. It probably should be Trump and a VP that can step in if necessary and wants to be part of a one term destroy mission and Cruz can go for Senate majority leader to assist with the Trump DC housecleaning.

Don’t get me going on Paulbots and the Nevada caucus process.

[mad_as_he$$]

I know you believe in Palin but her negatives with the center voters are still very high.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

I completely admit that.

In fact I would choose Palin over Trump, by a big margin.

You’re right, but she has also been completely checked by the media.

100%

[HarleyLady27]

GO TRUMP ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE!!!

I wonder if I am reading this correctly.

Trump is 35 unfavorable and 57 favorable. Is that correct. If so much better than Hillary.
