Trump loses on the temperament metric. Big time. Maybe Iowa Republicans don’t want a hothead to be leader of the free world.
Thanks. And yes, it is still true. As you read, I complimented Trump for his tone, for his fearlessness, for showing the way of how to handle the media, etc. As such, I was FOUR PLUS YEARS ahead of all the Trumpanzees around here in recognizing anything positive in Trump. I also recognized the negative, and I guess we're like 100 years ahead of them on that.
BAM!!!
I never even attempted to define it. Judging by your deteriorating posts, I suspect now is the time of night you start hitting the bottle. Who knew Breitbart hired drunks?
Or more likely Des Moines is fudging their numbers. They have Trump losing to Cruz even though he dominates all the measures that rank as the most important to voters, but then they have Cruz winning on “who would work best with Congress,” even beating out Rubio and Carson. That’s a joke.
Light years, even.
From the enemedia’s perspective it must be a major dilemma when the man who exposes you for the BIASED liars you are is the same man who can bring you a windfall of ratings.
Thanks for that revealing info. I now understand the reason for the oft snobbish responses - and I’m being kind.
I recall seeing an article about that, but did not read further into the story. I thought Cruz was a Baptist ... What is Dominionist Seven Mountains ideology?

This is the Des Moines Register newspaper retaliating for what Trump said about them and getting massive applause.

“Move the video slider to 1:03:10 in and you will see exactly what he says and the HUGE crowd response to it.
Two days later their poll shows Trump going from 13 points up to Cruz suddenly jumping 21 points?... I don’t think so..
