H1-B Ted, pro-amnesty FReepers hit hardest.
Playing games. He’s down four from Dec. 27. Bottom line: he ain’t “surgin’ Ted.”
Like I previously said this whole polling thing is BS anyway. Taking 644 people and assigning their value to many millions is becoming more inaccurate as time goes by. They use landline, cell and internet. I don't have landline. My cell has caller ID so I don't know you I don't answer. We Freep internet polls all the time around here. Ted may not be surging but I'll wait for the actual votes to tell me that.
I get it. But we learned in 08 and 12 that in the US, especially national races, polling is pretty damn predictive.
Yeah, they miss a race like KY once in a while. But this race has had something like 700 polls already, and Trump has led in all but a handful. I think that’s a trend.
Yeah, yeah...I wouldn’t celebrate, if I were you. Trump is NOT “imploding”.
Nice chart, long may it last and even go up for Trump !
In January 2008, Huckabee was leading and in January 2012 Gringrich was leading. Not by as much as Trump appears to be leading. But Trump is a loose cannon and that is why his supporters like him. He may say something way over the top which might level his peak. Or he may go into a prevent defense which might cause some dropping of enthusiasm. We are getting close to the primaries. Let the voters decide.
I'm only hearing Trumpets go off. Cruz people are pragmatists. We won't celebrate until after the votes.
There is a cadre of you Cruz people who haunt/troll Trump threads and post garbage to them; even just "happy" rally threads. And I've seen many Cruz supporters wearing funny hats and blowing horns over how "great" Ted is doing in Iowa.
If you don't like the blowback....stop trying to create a disturbance.
Au contraire. I love blowback from you guys. Playing the Trumpet has giving you strong blowback muscles.
And you say that with a straight face? Just on this one alone, they’re talking about trend lines of three days or less!
Then you’ll LOVE having PRESIDENT TRUMP, because his supporters will be having a grand time here. And yes, love watching you cry in your beer, as you sit in a corner weeping. :-)
He’ll never spend money on adds....oh, wait....:)
I haven’t seen the Ted Cruz Twister Board in awhile :)
“I thought the ad was horrible”
You must be a GOPe paid consultant...
Anyone waiting on Trump to "say something" that will get him in trouble is like waiting on Cruz to do something exciting. Neither will happen. They will win or lose just as they are.
Maybe, but a couple of years later the roles will be reversed.
‘In January 2008, Huckabee was leading and in January 2012 Gringrich was leading. Not by as much as Trump appears to be leading.’
So I take it neither of these two had led for six months straight, by a significant margin—or is it seven mos now? Trump has led so long I lose track.
Anyway, in ‘08, had the same candidate led for half a year plus, by a wide margin?
41.7% gives control of a fragmented market....Game, Set, Match and Presidency to Donald J. Trump.
