Damn, Trump’s numbers are triple his nearest rival.
I still have this fear that the media will try some shenanigans to have Rubio ‘surge’ at the last possible moment, so there’s no time for him to decline before IA/NH cast their votes.
Yep. This is Ipsos/Reuters normal poll they come out every so often and not their 5 day rolling poll.
~Yeb! at 7%. LoL.
The TDSers aren’t a big group; they’re just all over every Trump thread, like cowflop on a dairy farm.
In the end, these CUT OFF YOUR NOSE TO SPITE YOUR FACEers will stay home, write in Mickey Mouse, or sit in a corner and cry in their beer.
Maybe like the 5 MILLION who stated home in 2012.
I just want to mention, you have no idea how many Cruzers just don’t engage with trumpees because they don’t engage with people who call them crude names, generally belittle them and who will never be convinced anyway.
I don’t get trumpees at all.
Trump would never ask Cruz to be VP and Cruz would not accept - he is not going to break his core principles to be trump’s VP. Cruz actually has principles.
Trump’s negatives are as high as Hill’s.
Do you think only Iowans rate Trump with the worst temperament to be president at 11%?
Honestly I voted for Rubio, immediately abandoned him with his gang of 8 vote but I would vote for him and any of the others before I would vote for Trump if Cruz was not in the race and the best candidate in 32 years.
Your plans sorely do not take into account the 30 something percent who would never vote for Trump.
And yes the stay at home gop are estimated at 5 million in 2012.
Trump had me for a minute but simply watching freepers defend everything about him no matter finished him on my list.
Rubio doesn’t seem to be doing well in NH. He only spent about 10 minutes taking questions during his last visit there.
This reporter in NH wasn’t impressed, said Rubio was robot-like.

Could be higher, could be lower, depending on margin of error. At 39% he could very well be at 36% . . . Or 42%. We are seeing a minor Trump surge into the high 30s and low 49s. Playing the MOE card, yesterday’s poll at 41 could be 38, or could be 44. Inching toward majority of all Republicans.
This myth apparently originated with a single highly speculative article on evangelicals in IN. But there is not even proof for IN, let alone the extension of the flawed analysis for the US. Google it. You will see what I mean. If you have actual evidence I would love to see it.
Cruz would shrink the federal government, Trump would expand it. Cruz espouses federalism and liberty, Trump espouses socialized medicine and “taking care” of us.
In a lot of key ways, I see Trump continuing the Obama/Bush/Clinton/Bush trend of more growth, more entitlements, more taxes, more regulations, etc. Granted, he clearly has a different point of view, and I don’t doubt his love for America the way I do with Obama, I’m just ready for something different... I don’t think this trend of continuing to grow the federal government is good for our nation.
It’s really all in your name, Big Lib.
But according to Fox, women hate him.
Merry Christmas
I got that email too. :)
From Trump, saying “I love you all” seems real. He is a warm and caring person. He has articulated the plight of the middle class like no politician I can remember since Reagan. A billionaire understanding that the average citizen has seen his wages decrease with respect to inflation while the government pretends there is no inflation and there’s no place to invest with interest rates artificially low and the stock market manipulated and waiting to crash - is amazing. Politicians don’t get our plight yet a billionaire far removed from causing it and not experiencing it himself gets it. That shows a big heart that isn’t self-absorbed.
If any of the other candidates would say ‘I love you all “ it would sound disingenuous.
I guess you missed where Trump talked about removing large numbers of agencies from the government.
Cruz will grant amnesty as sure as my yorkie loves me. They get to stay with no fear of deportation. The next logical step is citizenship, - especially to the millions of children they’ll have at our expense - then goodbye to conservatives being voted in ever again.
“I just want to mention, you have no idea how many Cruzers just don’t engage with trumpees because they don’t engage with people who call them crude names, generally belittle them and who will never be convinced anyway.”
It’s the Trump supporters that don’t want to deal with the Cruzbots because they are insulting right out of the gate.
“Trump had me for a minute but simply watching freepers defend everything about him no matter finished him on my list.”
Cruz had me for a minute, but it’s obvious he’ll let illegals stay, which equals amnesty. And their children will become citizens, as will they eventually. His donors are pulling the strings. His fanatical defenders are obnoxious and sway me from even considering him at times, but I’m smart enough to not be biased by them and find my own reasons - like amnesty. But the Cruz fanatics don’t make it easy to not discount him because of their immaturity.
Cruz “surges” past the empty pyramid!
Even though my guy is Cruz, and I have a healthy skepticism for polling data, the plethora of these poll results shows that Trump’s support is amazing! I am trying hard to see it as a gauge of the incredible anger and resentment Americans are feeling about the uniparty cronyism that has robbed us of trillions and deprived us of our liberty in so many ways. I really hope that’s what it is because it means, no matter what, this voting block is not going with the same old crap and either Trump or Cruz will be the nominee. And that, alone, is reason to celebrate.
Nice!

Like calling them “Trumpees”?
