He is ahead in Iowa and up by double-digit margins in New Hampshire and South Carolina, a new poll finds; Democrats could see roller-coaster ride in first contests
Donald Trump is dominating the GOP presidential field in the first three states to vote in the 2016 campaign, including in Iowa where he has extinguished the lead once held by Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC/Marist Poll finds.

Yeah, that’s the beauty of the primary cycle: you get a real glimpse of the people running, assuming you’re paying attention.
With St Rafael, it ain’t a pretty picture. All the electability of Barry Goldwater combined with all the charm of Richard Nixon.
“All the electability of Barry Goldwater combined with all the charm of Richard Nixon.”
LOL!
And who was running the NRSC when these racist ads were being run?
It doesn’t matter what they have tonight. If TRUMP is not there, nobody’s going to care what the rest of them have to say (other than for entertainment value).
"And there are several reasons why Senate Republicans might not want Cruz to return to their campaign arm.
He drew the ire of colleagues in 2013 by raising money for the Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF), which backed primary challengers to now-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and Sen. Thad Cochran (Miss.)."
So Ted not only opposed what the NRSC was doing in that race, he was helping to raise money for Matt Bevins and Chris McDaniels. I know you hate Cruz because he is challenging your idol, but at least try to be honest.
No, I do not believe it is coincidence or luck.
Trump is something new. He does not fit the mold or pattern that the media and establishment have established and that the more traditional candidates adhere to.
In addition, he has his own way of dealing with it, and is applying the principles he set forth in the art of the deal to it...and it is taking the MSM and establishment by storm right now. They simply have not had time to adequately adjust to it...and everything they have tried has failed.
Is it a paradigm shift? Or just a one off because of who trump is?
Is it a one-off, or something that others will grab a hold of and be able to replicate?
At this point we do not know.
But I think, at least for me, that it is clear that it is is definitely not an accident or simply luck.
