Trump is still in the lead, but now garners the support of only 17% of those asked. Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush tied for second with 10%. Scott Walker and Carly Fiorina round out the top 5 with 9% each.
There is something fishy with the poll. Cruz had no debate bump....and that’s odd.
That said, I will not vote for Trump. I do not care if Hillary wins. Really, what difference would it make if Trump won?
He wil not be a real conservative, just a country club Republican.
Trump is a horrible, disgusting human being, and I won’t support him no matter what the consequences. If I can live through 8 years of Obama screwing things up, I can live through 8 of Hillary doing the same.
Let’s hope he doesn’t win the nomination, for he WILL NOT WIN the election. A lot of people will sit it out. He is leading now solely because of his name recognition. That’s IT. Not due to any of his ideas, of which he doesn’t have any he shares on the stump aside calling people names.
Actually there's no difference if Jeb won.
The ONLY real option for a conservative is CRUZ....
ALL others fail some more others even more..
Trump has not been tested, qualified or proven..
He is a Warlock with a brew.. and a frog gizzard..
Looking into a crystal ball.. uttering phrases..
Cruz is tested, qualified, proven and committed..
actually, not in that poll. It has him at 3-4%.
Same here. Hillary, Trump—same thing. No vote for either of them no matter what.
Trump is peaking early. He’s going to peak early right up until he wins the Presidency.
Where are the others “specific plans”?
Why single out Trump.
Where are the specific plans of the others?
Trump said that if Planned Parenthood is performing any abortions they should not be receiving federal funds.
I doubt Hillary will make it that far. Go Trump! Go Cruz!
He still wants to give them taxpayer money.
But that’s just me.
” What we need is a conservative candidate. No exceptions.
Trump or Jeb Bush or any of the RINOs won’t beat Hillary.
A conservative candidate at least has a chance.”
Trump can beat Hellary or any other Rat . Trumpo is what we need right now . Next , perhaps CRuz .
Take note, Trump bots, Trump is trying to undo damage caused by punching again and again the tar baby called Megan Kelly by pandering to Planned Parenthood in a misguided belief that it represents American womanhood. Trump panders, he is not the bold, incorruptible truth teller you suppose.
I don’t get it. I can imagine some voters not being able to make up their mind if they should vote for Bush or for Rubio and other voters not being able to make up their mind if they should vote for a Cruz or vote for Trump. But who would be these voters who one minute want to vote for Trump and the next minute wish to vote for Bush?
I don't think that Trump will go 3rd party. But, if he did, and if Bush were to win the GOP nomination, should Bush withdraw if it would give Trump a better chance at beating Hillary?
