I can’t believe that Yeb Bush and NJFatBoy are even in the top 5.

Seems to be quite a few LIV’s in the GOP

Donald Trump’s stock is on the rise.

How could he not be? He went national and KO'd the MSM and phoney career politicians after multiple attacks, multiple times. And won each time!

http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/jul/09/ben-ferguson/donald-trumps-campaign-contributions-democrats-and/ Trump has given very heavily to democrats, including to Hillary. No thank you.

Bush and Christie are both pro-Amnesty. No thank you.

Cruz or Walker. Or perhaps someone new will emerge, someone who supports the individual right of the people to keep and bear arms, supports repeal of Obamacare, and Supports enforcing immigration law, but I’m not betting on that.

I think Cruz and Trump will liven up the proceedings while Bush will act like a sleeping pill.

The article described Trump as a "blowhard" but did not describe Christie as such. No bias there.

The desperation of the media and of the polical elite has gotten silly.

Boycott, your kind of question seldom receives an answer, and when it does it usually a quote from 10 or 15 years ago.

Not online

In the Reuters/Ipsos poll of the Republican race, 404 self-identified Republicans age 18 or over were questioned from July 6-10. The poll had a credibility interval, a measure of accuracy, of 5.7 percentage points.

Read the article!
"...Trump had the support of 15.8% of respondents in the online poll
of self-identified Republicans compared to 16.1% for Bush..."

> First they said Trump would not run.
Then he filed the forms to officially run,
making fools of doubters.

> Then they said Trump will drop out.
Many businesses cut ties with Trump to look PC.
Trump did not flinch, he actually doubled down.

> Then they said Trump was a past donor to
democrats. Do those low information people
know that all large businesses donate to both
parties? Do they know the total donations by
Trump to democrats are less than 0.01% of his
net worth? I would posit he is stingy with
democrats while doing 90% business n blue states.

> Then they said Trump was in this race to help
Hillary, by running on 3rd party. Then I saw
his interview on TV. This is what he said:
“Hillary is the worst SOS ever!”
“Hillary would make a terrible president”
“My best chance to defeat the democrats is
running on the republican ticket, 3rd party is
a bad idea”.

> Then they said Trump will never file his
financial statement. Then I saw him on TV
saying he will file financial statement next
Thursday. He said he will not use the two 45
day extensions available to candidates.

> Then they said Trump is not as rich as he
says he is. Then I saw him on TV saying
“People will see my financial statement
and find out, I am is more rich!

What will they say next? Trump can not run for
president because of his hairdo?

Four weeks is a short time and Trump is a busy man. I hope he’s prepared and doesn’t make any memorable gaffes.

Trump is capable of handling hostile moderators but he’s no Newt Gingrich. I hope he does well. We need someone speaking out against illegal immigration.

Your mistake should not affect the link, but it is the Daily News, not the NY Post.

“billionaire blowhard”

Funny, we don’t see JEB described in such pejorative terms.
This writer’s father smelt of elderberries and his mother was a hamster.

TRUMP condemned Mitt Romney as an immigration hardliner in 2012 and favored comprehensive immigration reform. He told Bill O’Reilly he was in favor of a “path to citizenship” for 30 million illegal immigrants: Trump: You have to give them a path. You have 20 million, 30 million, nobody knows what it is. It used to be 11 million. Now, today I hear it’s 11, but I don’t think it’s 11. I actually heard you probably have 30 million. You have to give them a path, and you have to make it possible for them to succeed. You have to do that

Socialized medicine:
We need, as a nation, to reexamine the single-payer plan, as many individual states are doing.

And redistribution of wealth:
I would impose a one-time, 14.25 percent tax on individuals and trusts with a net worth over $ 10 million

- Abortion: In 1999 he said, “I’m totally pro-choice. I hate it and I hate saying it. And I’m almost ashamed to say that I’m pro-choice but I am pro-choice because I think we have no choice.” Man, it’s like he’s channeling Thomas Aquinas there. Now he says he’s pro-life. But I’ll spare the mocking on this because at least he’s flip-flopping in the right direction, and I don’t like to second guess peoples’ professed religious convictions.

- Obamacare: The man wrote in his own book and said elsewhere that he was in favor of Canadian-style socialized medicine — which would put him to the left of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and on pretty much the same page as Bernie Sanders.

- Hillary: Speaking of her, Trump praised Hillary Clinton and her health-care reform plan — in 2007! She attended his (most recent) wedding. He donated to her campaigns and to the Clinton Foundation. In 2008, he couldn’t get his head around the fact that Obama didn’t pick her for VP. “I’m a big fan of Hillary. She’s a terrific woman. She’s a friend of mine.”

- Economics: People tout the guy’s business record. But he represents almost exactly what his supporters think he opposes. He’s a CRONY CAPITALIST par excellence. He gives to whatever politician can grease the skids for his next deal — and he makes no apologies for it. He’s an eminent-domain voluptuary. He abuses bankruptcy laws like a stack of homemade get-out-of-jail-free cards.”
