Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says he trails Ted Cruz in a new Wall Street Journal poll because the publication has it out for him.
"I think somebody at the Wall Street Journal doesn't like me," he told hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski during a MSNBC town hall in Charleston, S.C.
"I think most of the polls were taken after the debate and they worked out good for me," Trump said. "I have never done well with the Wall Street Journal poll. I don't know. They do these small samples and I don't know exactly what it represents." The Wall Street Journal released a poll earlier Wednesday showing Cruz leading trump by 2 points nationwide. Trump had held the top spot in 31 consecutive national polls before it.
Trump reiterated his threat to sue Cruz.
"I've had great success with lawsuits," he said. "I've had great success in things I do, and I don't know that we're going to have a lawsuit. We certainly want to keep somebody honest. Like as an example, I'm pro-life and he said, 'He's not pro-life.' He can't say that."
Trump added that he had some warm feelings toward Cruz until the Texas senator's actions during the Iowa caucuses earlier this month.
"What he did to Ben Carson I thought was disgraceful in Iowa," he said. "When he said, '[Carson] was out of the race.' I thought that was bad. I thought the voter fraud document he did was horrendous. And he's told lies. He tells lies."
A lie. Trump has never declared bankruptcy.
He’s in too much of a hurry to sue though.
HE compared Carson’s teenage crimes with those of a compulsive sexual predator.
Now he’s mad Cruz sent out misleading emails?
He’s playing hardball and that’s great. But then Ted gets too also.
Just my opinion. I’m wrong alot :)
lol...yup.
LOL! A susinct analysis, indeed.
This is a poll for the weak wobbly minded voter in South Carolina. A Hail Mary Pass from the Establishment Media to stop Trump.
Nevertheless, expect another poll on Friday from the same people saying Trump will win. They will do this to maintain their credibility and say this was just an anomaly poll.
You have one poll while every other poll has Trump dominating South Carolina. He has the same lead or a bigger lead in South Carolina than he had in New Hampshire.
Trump also leads in Independents and even cross over Democrats.
Trump has thousands at almost all his rallies while Cruz is lucky if he gets 200.
I say lets revisit this poll Sunday.
LOL! Got to love the desperation from the Establishment that’s in panic mode.
Trump once again shows that he can dish it out but can’t take it.
Bingo!
Chapter 11 is not bankruptcy? Okay /sarc

This poll is contrived to push a narrative. It is a belly laugh knee slapping joke. Move on to SC ( 28%)and Nevada( 33%). Understand this. Trump is Wall Street’s worst nightmare BECAUSE he will STOP their foreign transfer of jobs and bring them back!! They will lose billions!! I DON’T CARE!! I love AMERICANS . I love American workers. They are trying to make it here. They have children they want to educate in them college. SCREW WALL STREET.
He is going to sue the American People! and he will win!!!
NBC, who cooked up this poll, has a long history of fakery going back at least to the early 90s where they rigged a GM truck with explosives to show how dangerous the vehicles were in an accident.
After what Trump said, I DON’T BLAME HIM!!!
Three Strikes - Third Time This Campaign Season NBC/WSJ Caught Promoting "Agenda Polls"...

Awe shucks, we'll just wait until tomorrow.
