I know, I know...

And CNN has a poll out that looks good for Trump, even though it is down from the 26% support he once enjoyed.

And CNN was thought to be unreliable and libbbbberal by Freepers not too long ago, but if Trump does well (though not as well as he once did), then it no longer a liberal polling outfit anymore and is now to be trusted!

In CNN We Now Trust!

You got the memo, didn’t you?

ALL (emphasis only) polling outfits that were called libbberal at one time, but show positives for Trump, are now to be trusted!

What is now out the door...

Conservative polling outfits and liberal polling outfits that don’t show positive news for Trump!

Cruz would be Trump’s best bet as VP to bring in the conservative and evangelical voters. I’m surprised that people haven’t done their homework on Carly. They should.

Actually, this is the plan.

No, that is Wayne Allyn Root's theory of "the plan." The guy is a sleazy huckster, and the video has (a) a creepy "late-night infomercial" vibe, and (b) not a single fact to support Root's theory.

In fact, the video completely ignores that Obama and Hillary are helped by Trump's presence in the race. Why in the world would they want to push him out of the race?

Exactly. They might as well have said, “The Candidates for the Establishment are Rising”.

Apparently Bill Clinton called Trump not too long before Trump decided he was going to run and said that he needed to get more involved in GOP politics.

Hot Air:

“WaPo: Bill Clinton encouraged Trump to play a bigger role in the GOP in phone call shortly before campaign launch”

And we all know that Bill Clinton has always done his best to support the conservative base, right? s/. /heavy sarcasm.

How this guy at that Youtube link can posit that Trump hurts Hill, Bill and Obama is ridiculous.

A GOP “poll”. I’d take it with a grain of salt.

That same paper, the Boston Herald, publishing this poll had this front page today:

Oh good. So this is the TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome)sufferer evening thread.

Enjoy! I certainly will.

DoughtyOne! Glad to see you on the Evening Trump Derangement Syndrome thread!

I’ll get you up to speed. So far the TDS sufferers are about at 3 on the snark scale. They’ve had a bad day what with Ford agreeing to keep jobs in the US and such. So they’re off their game. So sorry for them; they seem a bit demoralized.

You know what? We should find some waiter someplace who didn’t get what he felt was a generous enough of a tip from DT. That’ll get them out of their funk.

That is in NH too!

Typically, conservatives don’t do very well in NH.

That is awesome.

True. I don’t think that Trump is doing this intentionally to help Hillary, but I think that Bill (manipulative as he is) knew that Trump (egomaniac that he is) would jump into the race with a little praise and prodding, and that his doing so would help Hillary.

I think it's going to go to a brokered convention. ;-)

Now when does actual voting start?

In a long, long, time.

The election, in case anyone is interested, is in 453 days. The Republican National Convention starts in 340 days. The polls open in New Hampshire in 180 days for primary voting.

Many, many things will happen between now and then. The idea that a candidate is "leading", "gaining", or "fading" at the present time is a farce.

Oh, pu-leese!

Hillary is finished. I have more chance of being the Democratic nominee than she does.

CNN poll has the Donald at 22% today. So its all over the place but the main thing is Trump is number one and everybody else is something else.

"The survey is bas ed on a probabilistic sample 414 likely Republican presidential primary voters in New Hampshire. Interviews were conducted by landline and cellular telephone, August 7 - 10 , 2015. The sam pling margin of error is +/ - 4.8 percent.

The data are weighted to adjust for probability of selection , respondent gender and respondent age. In addition to sampling error, all surveys have other potential sources of non - sampling error including question wording effects , question order effects and non - response"
