I don’t think Trump has ever polled over 22 percent in N.H.

Kasich is Bush Light. All Kasich would talk about during the Fox News so-called debate is the wonderful things he has accomplished in Ohio. No offense to Ohio residents but I could care less what Kasich has done, or not done, in Ohio. What I care about is what he did while he was in Congress, and he was just a “good old boy” loyal and true to the GOP overlords.

Go home John and say, “Hello Columbus.”

I like Cruz too, but you are gong to get a guy like Kasich or Bush unless you allow Trump to bring down the GOP elites. They need to be exposed,crushed and burned.

Patience and strategy isn’t a virtue on our side anymore.

Notice we never hear Cruz go after Trump? Does anyone ever even wonder why?

Probably not.

Not my point: The FP poll is a joke.

That Franklin Pierce poll was a push poll, asking derogatory comments about Trump, most likely before they asked the respondents how they felt about the candidates. Their previous poll for comparison was done in March, before Trump had entered the race. So their poll doesn’t show a drop for Trump over time at all—despite their questions shenanigans.

Loosey goosey poll. The +/- is 4.8% putting nearly everyone in a giant clump together. Worse is the weakness of the support for any candidate in the poll with 76% of respondents willing to change their mind.

68% would switch from Trump (but his job will be done by then)

97% from Fiorina

68% for Santorum

88% for Cruz

We need about half the candidates to drop out for any realistic polling to take place. It’s a headline or a soundbite right now.

They’ve had a bad day what with Ford agreeing to keep jobs in the US and such.

You think that Ford shifting jobs from Mexico to Ohio had anything to do with Trump?

Hint: not everyone who opposes Trump is GOP-E. In fact, most of the "Trump haters" here on FR oppose him not because he's not GOP-E, but because he's a liberal clown.

Exactly. Notice we never hear the Trump bash caucus say a word about fake conservative Rubio the snake? He’s far more dangerous to conservatives than Trump. Trump’s every word is dissected while Rubio’s Gang of Eight treason gets a pass.

This is going to be a long primary battle and we need allies. That’s why Cruz is not attacking Trump.

Trump mainstreaming conservative issues like trade and immigration have been great value to Cruz. His supporters should buy a clue and direct there fire where it belongs, elsewhere.

You hit the nail on the head! Sorry but Cruz is not going to win. Trump/Cruz would be a great ticket.

We have about 15 months until the election. Cruz is in a good place at the moment. If he were in the lead now, he would be the subject of all the heat. Let him peak at a good time, instead of right now.

I am content for him to “Cruz” for awhile and let the fact that Trump is there and his presence is going to make it tough for all the GOPe candidates that entered in order to throw the race to Jeb or Rubio run out of funding and have to drop out.

Our conservative side always shoots themselves in the foot. Emotion instead of strategy.
