A post-debate poll finds that Ben Cason has leap-frogged over businessman Donald Trump as the candidate most Republican voters believe will win the GOP nomination.

Rasmussen Reports said that 59 percent of likely Republican voters believe that Carson will end up on top after the primary and caucus season is over next year.

He is closely followed by Donald Trump, at 58 percent. Carly Fiorina at 40 percent and Jeb Bush at 40 percent.

he is getting a lot of free publicity

Proves the adage that there is no such thing as bad publicity. Are all the networks covering every speech of JEB?

Correction: He said up to $1 billion he would spend. And the more relalistic number he said he would need to spend to win the nomination is $100 million or MORE.
Only up to $100 million he would spend, or this is how much he would need to win the presidency was never stated.

Color amnesty-treason shill Ben Carson white and he would be at zero percent.

The GOP really needs to quit its love of unqualified black token candidates.

True and poor Jeb. Trump told the NYT yesterday that he planned to spend $15 million on campaign commercials this summer, but didn't need to with the cable networks covering his every move. Thank you CNN, MSNBC, Fox, etc.

All I know is that 1 out of 1 C. Edmund Wright’s believes I am an idiot and Trump sycophant.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/09/18/post-debate-poll-trump-increases-lead-fiorina-leaps-carson-drops/

A Morning Consult poll, released Friday, surveyed 504 registered voters who watched Wednesday’s Republican primary debate and has only good news for Republican frontrunner Donald Trump and Carly Fiorina. While the poll’s sample size is small (with a 4.4% margin of error), the poll’s trend is worth noting.

In this same poll, prior to Wednesday night’s debate, Trump sat at 33% support. Dr. Ben Carson sat in second place with 17% support. Today Trump enjoys 36% support. Carson is still in second place but with just 12% support.

Trump’s lead increased from +16 points to +24%. That’s an +8% jump.

Trump is outdrawing people to his events by a 10 to 1 margin.

As did President Palin. Oh....never mind.

“Carson isn’t much better, but at least he believes what he says”

1. Was a democrat until the middle 80s then became a republican.
In the middle 90s he got mad at the GOP for impeaching his friend Bill Clinton and became an independent, where he remained until a few months ago when he decided to run for president.

2. He is soft on the 2nd amendment.

3. He says Daren Wilson should have never shot 350 pound thug Michael Brown.

4. He sees nothing wrong with using stem cells from elective aborted babies for research. This is sort of like using eyeballs from gassed Jews.

5. Carson would have not went in Iraq OR Afganistan. Just call him the black Ron Paul Jr.

Palin never ran for President. She did get people showing up for McCain though.

I can’t imagine any crowd gathering for Juan.

Yes. Carson is a liberal:

Is it moral for us, for example, to take advantage of cheap labor from illegal immigrants while denying them citizenship? I’m sure you can tell from the way I phrased the question that I believe we have taken the moral low road on this issue. Some segments of our economy would virtually collapse without these undocumented workers—we all know that—yet we continue to harass and deport many individuals who are simply seeking a better life for themselves and their families. Is there a way to apply logic to this issue and arrive at an intelligent solution?
All we have to do is look to our northern neighbor, Canada. They have a guest worker program, which allows people to enter the country as officially recognized guest workers who pay taxes, receive benefits, and are able to come and go as they please without infringing on anyone else’s rights.

Laissez-faire, I know you’ve been around here for a while, but you are certainly carrying the load for the Trump haters around here.

Polls only show you who the left and the MSM want to be ahead or behind at any given moment.

This one sounds like pure BS.

Trump has said over and over again that he’s going to 100% self-finance.

This is pure, unadulterated BS. This is fake-polling from the GOP-e who want to push Carson to bleed off Trump support.

59 + 58 + 41 + 40 = 198.

A poll that has a total of 198% of voters.

Oh, THIS is PERFECTLY valid. Why, it's as valid as precints in Chicago that routinely field 150% of their population , in votes.

LOL!

Somehow I sense DESPERATION and an effort that is working overtime trying to alter the REALITY of the TRUE situation.

Keep groping. It's VERY entertaining.

“Polls only show you who the left and the MSM want to be ahead or behind at any given moment.”

That’s pretty ironic, considering Trump’s main argument is “I’m ahead in the polls.” He mentions it every single chance he gets.

Your poor helpless fools. Trump is out there hawking what you profess your beliefs to be. Hey, if you aren’t really a Conservative I can see why you’re so upset. You have my deepest sympathy. NOT.

When? When he's hawking ultra-liberalism one day, or alleged conservatism the next? When he's making up answers to questions he doesn't understand? Then makes the excuse "I'm not politically correct" "I love you. I really do", "I love all of those people" over and over again?
