The Gravis Marketing poll was liked a little while back by Trump supporters when it showed Trump way ahead but is despised by them now when it shows Fiorina and Trump tied. See how it works?

And the Voter Gravity poll (Carly Fiorina ahead by 4% over The Donald) is despised as being an outlier, but other leeser-known polling firms aren't despised as being an outlier when they show The Donald ahead.

See how it works?

And now this poll will be despised, too.

And WND will be tossed under the bus even though they are being surveyed as one of the most adamantly pro-Trump websites on the net and even though they are just a messenger for the news from Rasmussen Reports.

Remember, the same arguments that you use against these polls can be used the other way, too.

Trump supporters either like these polls when they are good for The Donald and also when they aren't good for The Donald, or they can quit playing the games with polls --- as they cannot have it both ways.

The problem with Carson is that he is a nice man with a lot of common sense. But that does not qualify him to be president. Kind of like the sage grandpa who sits on his porch rocking chair dispensing advice. Nice guy to listen to, but you probably wouldn’t elect him mayor.

I think it’s a shame that you’re being allowed to waste JimRob’s bandwidth, waging your crackpot jihad to destroy Donald Trump (as if you even could).

It’s an abuse of the posting privileges JimRob has extended to you. Your ‘dump Trump’ threads aren’t adding anything of value to this website.

Carson is already dropping in the newest poll since his so so performance in the CNN debate. He has little or no chance to be the GOP nominee.

...Carson will end up on top...

Lindsey will most likely end up on the bottom.

“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. “

And if you think that then you are the biggest retard on the planet.

But we know you are just trolling. Pretty pathetic seeing that the person you may support isnt the focus of your attention.

I don’t think there is one chance in a thousand of Carson winning the nomination. His supporters wouldn’t be able to stay awake long enough to get to the polls.

And no, I’m not a Trump fan. I’m just not sure “Ben Carson - Asleep at the Helm” will make a good campaign slogan!

It’s a one point difference by a liberal polling firm, ding dong, lol. Don’t wet your pants too soon.

I think that Dr. Carson is a good, decent man, and there should be a place for him in the next Republican administration. However, I don’t see him as President.

Gee, guess he will be a worthy successor to President Romney, whom Rasmussen predicted as winner in 2012!!!

Like a lot of people, I like Ben Carson. A lot.
But he’s a decent man and the Demoncrats would:

If it comes from World Nut Daily it must be true!!!

Seriously, who reads that garbage? I think the National Enquirer is a more reputable source.

They are pushing Carson because they know the only way he can beat Trump is if they give him tons of Chamber of Commerce and GOP funds. They will make him beholden to them. And right now they think he will be the easiest (not Jeb Bush) candidate to manipulate.

Carson is just too un-enthusiastic to gain significant grass root support.

Face it. He’s just plain dull.

Carson isn’t much better, but at least he believes what he says. Even when I think it’s stupid, I have to at least give him credit for honesty. Trump is a liar who can’t be believed even when he’s saying things I agree with.

Whatever gets Trumpy out as soon as possible is good for the party, good for the conservative movement, and good for the country. Can’t come soon enough.

And considering that his whole campaign is “I’m leading in the polls”, I wonder how he’ll try to spin this? He can’t have it both ways.

The main thing that everyone needs to keep in mind is that no debate will ever change the fact that Trump will not be beholden to anyone but the voters, and anyone else who might win the nomination (for EITHER party) will essentially be owned by the rich and powerful individuals and organizations who raise the thousands of millions of dollars of the necessary campaign “contributions”.

That is why the big-money power brokers are in such a quandary. Ordinarily, they simply buy whomever looks to be most likely to win, but Trump doesn’t need nor want their money, so all they can do at that point is either attack Trump, “contribute” to losers (which is pretty pointless), or pull out of the game (which again is pointless). Therefore, the only rational option for the rich and powerful who are used to buying up all the necessary politicians is to take out Trump. They have no other choice.

How can the percentage of people believing one candidate will be “at the top” go far beyond 100 percent?

You take your lead from Romney, Rove and Fiorina.

Can we guess why?
