The GOP presidential debate winner Wednesday night was dominant front-runner Donald Trump, a Newsmax Poll finds.
In early results from a poll of Newsmax TV viewers, the billionaire businessman logged 64 percent support, while former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina came in second, with 12 percent.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz came in third with 6 percent.

I did not find Trump all that strong last night.
I felt the winners were (personal preference notwithstanding) Carly, Christy, Cruz.
Walker, Kasich, and Carson were solid.
Huckabee was a good disarming storyteller as always, strong on social issues, weak on foreign policy.
Paul was, well, Paul.
Bush was a loser, although I loved his four-word defense of his brother.
Carly’s response to Trump’s comments about her physical appearance was pithy and strong, and his response (”I think she’s a beautiful woman”) shallow and glib by comparison.
Worse, Trump didn’t have any detailed responses to foreign policy questions. He looked unprepared and spoke in generalities. This is coming from someone who likes Trump.
The winners last night, the Democrats.
I never get rid of Toi Ling. I like him. ;-]
I know Trump has said a lot of things. If there are two sides to an issue, Trump’s on three of them.
Here’s his official website since declaring back in June. That’s three months, plus whatever time he took preparing and honing his message/positions prior to declaring.
Try as I might I can only find a single position on his website: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/immigration-reform
Maybe you can find the other positions on his official website? Of course, a promise not made clearly isn’t a promise at all.
True in as much as we have way too many laws. God only needed 10, we just needed the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. The next Amendments haven't really made things better.
Are you in favor of expensive labor? How about expensive materials?
Are you familiar with how Jim Crow operated in northern cities?
I like your lottery idea. I’d like it even more if we’d done it a century ago.
Lol. You have GOT to be kidding. Equating employers hiring only people here legally with Jim Crow. Guess people can play the race card on anything. Standing by for your Hitler reference next.
Eat, drink, and be merry in your toil. All else is vanity - a chasing of the wind.
Uh, hate to tell you this, but most illegal aliens who are not otherwise criminals, and who can work, usually do, usually quite hard. If they were mostly lazy welfare recipients, they would not be screwing up the job market so massively.
Welfare reform is a desirable goal, but it would likely not push even 20% of the illegals back home.
It would not have been "good business" for him.
I was going to say thirty years was long enough, but actually 1960 would be the best cutoff.
One out of five would be perfect. We want the good ones.
Agreed.
It’s no laughing matter. The history of Jim Crow in the north was that racists made it illegal to hire black labor, then called “cheap southern labor” in code. What they did was create licensing schemes that didn’t test your skills, but your reading comprehension of the code. They added apprenticeships that further locked out blacks.
The idea that God ordained labor could ever be illegal is ridiculous. Government hasn’t the right to stop a man from working. It’s obscene, un-American and wrong.
You and I are not professional consultants or pols, but we can see the obvious manipulation of the entire process through the nature of questioning.
These are not debates so much as they are interrogations. The candidates need to field the question, discard and/or deflect the question, then look in the camera and speak directly to the American people.
I never said that either.
What exactly did you say?
Keep it up, I’m now a pro amnesty liberal. Of course you could not be more wrong. You Trump supporters better get better arguments; name calling is juvenile.
