Trump slams Iowa paper ahead of key poll

Trump told supporters: “I only like polls that treat me well.”

DES MOINES, Iowa, Dec. 12 (UPI) -- As the Des Moines Register prepares to release its key poll in the Iowa primary, Donald Trump slammed the paper calling it "dishonest."

The paper previously found itself on Trump's bad side after it published an editorial in July calling for the real estate mogul to end his presidential campaign. He responded by refusing press credentials to Register reporters at his events.

Trump knocked the paper at an event Friday in Des Moines: "You have one of the most dishonest right here in your backyard. The Des Moines Register is the worst. They're very dishonest."(continued)

Yes, we used to call it the “Red Star” back then, before Gannett bought it. Donald Kaul is gone now.

Le Register is up to its old tricks. When will they ever learn? Bad question, stupid is defined as the inability to learn.

Who was it last time? Carson?

It’s a cooked poll designed to get Trump to go off his rocker. Others in the MSM will taunt him with it until a more favorable (for Trump) poll comes out.

I heard on Twitter that GOPe types were gloating that this would be bad for Trump. Maybe, maybe not. I’m waiting for PPP IA, which so far this season has been the gold standard.

I don’t think people take time enough anymore to appreciate and encourge others to reach their goals and realize their dreams.

So, thank you.

Trump almost 20% under his national average? The dishonesty they weave.

Ted was the first to declare, and when he had the field to himself, he was attacked like Donald is now.

Unfortunately, there are some here that are in for a rude awakening. They seem to think that the nonstop attacks on Donald won’t somehow materialize with Ted. Anyd they’ll be crying foul when it happens.

I’ve suggested to no apparent avail that Trump and Cruz supporters should hold their fire at each other but I’m afraid Ted, like Carson will believe the media’s lies.

The DM Register is notoriously left-wing and anti-Trump, and they will turn on Ted with full venom in time. Watch and learn. Hopefully, some will not allow themselves to be played as fools.

Trump doesn’t scare me....people who think like you do. I don’t hate Trump, I do hate those who jettison the truth for fan boi fantasy.

Anyone who calls me an estab astroturfer has just shown themselves to be ignorant beyond description.

no, prickly is not....neither is nice....but this is petulant and petty. Strong, unabashed, all is good...but spare me the infantile whining.

Iowa is a lost cause. All their care about is corn and to hall with the Country.

Would it be OK with you if everyone just repeats to Trump what Trump says about them?

“It’s ALWAYS been a left wing liberal piece of crap, unworthy of use in my wood burner. “

It took a major turn towards the center when Rick Green was in charge for 3 years. He is a good guy. But Rick left a few months ago; and the Register has screeched back to the extreme left.

Petulance is not a quality o look for in a president.

Petulence describes most of your posts and tends to be more of a feminine or foppish sort of thing, that is, having a tantrum. I don't think anyone can fail to notice that Trump is an alpha male.

You deep seated hatred of Trump is not a shock Your a dedicated DC establishment astroturfer. Your promotion of that Treasonous Tpa -Tpp Trojan horse said it all.

Wright writes for Breitbart, which is financed by Richard Mercer, who benefits from TPP and also supports the Ted Cruz campaign. This was reported in a long running blog, which Wright then lied about by claiming it had no "about" page and was created recently as an alleged Trump Front. The blog had been around for years. Wright's bile against Trump is to be expected: he has a paycheck on the line.
