Donald Trump Solidifies His Lead (35-16-13) - NY Times
NY Times ^ | 12/10/2015 | NY Times

Posted on 12/10/2015 4:24:53 AM PST by usafa92

Donald J. Trump occupies his strongest position yet in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, yet nearly two-thirds of American voters say they are concerned or frightened about the prospect of a Trump presidency, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News nationwide poll.

Mr. Trump commands the support of 35 percent of Republican primary voters, leading his closest competitors, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas (16 percent) and Ben Carson (13 percent) by a more than 2-to-1 margin. While Mr. Carson's support was cut in half since the last time The Times and CBS News polled on the race in late October, Mr. Cruz has quadrupled his share. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida's support stands at 9 percent, with the rest of the candidates at 4 percent or less.

Even here on FR...
Trump supporters are cautious, introverted, reserved, retiring, and shy about their preference for the republican nominee!! :-)

The media comes up against the common sense argument and they know it’s true so they panic and say it’s unconstitutional under the religious test clause. That works with the uninformed, but we know that is about qualification for public office.

I hope that all the Trump supporters know what they are doing. This entire debacle is destroying what is left of the Republican Party, including a few very qualified to be president candidates. In fact, the GOP IS THE ONLY entity being destroyed by Trump, which I find interesting.

I have been on the fence, but I heard some insider info on how Trump conducts his businesses and average everyday people who work for him and it is not flattering. In fact, it is downright heartbreaking.

You’re not kidding! The Five has become completely unwatchable! Aside from putting idiots Juan Williams and Geraldo as regulars, the other dopes are drunk on GOPe Kool-Aid. The only one that makes any sliver of sense is Eric Bolling, but even that is a stretch most of the time.

As a contractor in Connecticut, I have had the opportunity to work twith the trump organization on several occasioans, and it is a very, very well run organization and all the Trump people love working for the organization, love trump and are among the absolute best in the business.

What is your source? And which candidate is trump destroying? Is he destroying them like Jeb is doing with his $75 million in attack ads on Republican candidates, or is Trump merely pointong out that candidates own positions?

Used to watch it quite often, until recently greg gutfeld pretty much knocked Christianity (and all other religions really). Along with wanwilliams and jerry rivers that was the stopping point for me.

Standing against the edicts of the left and their Alinsky tactics makes you a target and a lot of people are unwilling to deal with being called racist.

It's one of many reasons I like what Trump is doing.

He is definitely the one who is willing and courageous enough to stand up and take the heat and the faux outrage, and it's one of the reasons I support him, too.

WTG TRUMP!!! I just love it when I see a ‘rag’ that hates Trump has to put out their numbers for him and they don’t have any for the ‘old hag’ .... *in my most evil, darkest laugh* he, he, he, he.....

Speaking of the ‘old hag’ is she in bed asleep again or just on a 5 day drunk again?

Has the Bush family been to check on her? They should...that’s what friends are for....

Which shows that the Carson supporters went to Cruz. Either way, Trump or Cruz. there is reason for hope. Trump/Cruz seems like a natural at this point.

Interesting, my sources were contractors also for Trump. Jeb is not even an issue in this primary race, not even close. But there are a few, that when asked a question, actually have the ability to articulate their thoughts. Their responses have a little more depth than “she/he isn’t a NICE person”, “they better be NICE to me”, “I’m a really NICE person and I am rich.” DO not think Donald Trump got to be Donald Trump by being a NICE person.

Just explain the NICE thing to me, when I specifically know he was not nice, in fact, downright brutal to an entire group of contractors who worked on several of his projects. I am glad you had a good experience with his organizations, I sincerely am, because if you wouldn’t have had, you would have been approached, sometime within the last six months by his team of lawyers to sign a gag order about your work relationship with him. So I can’t possibly tell you who my source is because that would put them in jeopardy of being sued by Trump. Who after not being paid, would have no way of retaining a lawyer to defend themselves.

Little Jebbies minions are carpet bombing New England/New Hampshire with ads everywhere and almost every 15 minuets on the tube and radio.

This is the last salvo. He is gaining no ground at all and Grand Master Trump will be in N.H. tonight. Perhaps to finish him.

If the man had any honor at all left...he would bow out by Sunday...but apparently the Bush's have run out of honor faster then other peoples money.

A shame really. I kinda used to like that Mexican fella.

If he was brutal to them, why did they work on “several of his projects”? I would think they would have stopped working with him after the first time. Did it occur to you that you may only be getting a very one-sided version of events?
