That’s not true.

You think it’s POSITIVE that a man running for President of the United States has no foreign policy experience??

Only the twisted, convoluted mind of a trump cultist would not view that as clearly negative.

There are three other questions here that would be positive or negative depending on who you ask.

It gives us some push back against the bias, and it’s obvious in those series of questions.

Yesterday, Trump also said to Hewitt he’s not sure he agrees with the recent Iowa Q-poll:

- - - -

“DT: But I was very surprised, I was really very surprised to see Iowa. It’s fine, but I was very surprised to see. I’m not sure I agree with it, and we’ll see what happens.

HH: Now polls are often wrong. They were wrong in Canada this week. They were wrong in Great Britain. They were wrong in Israel. They were wrong in the United States in the fall of 2014. ...”

Hopefully Trump will sees the questions in this poll and question it too. He knows the media are usually lying snakes who are against him.

Well, I’m “lily white”, but I could care less about his skin tone.

I just don’t believe he has the temperament to be president. I don’t believe he has the experience he needs to deal with a government full of self-interested liars.

Carter was a technocrat just like Carson. There are no liars in nuclear submarines or operating theaters. After years of such work one is totally unprepared for an “Alice in Wonderland” environment.

President Carter failed miserably. So would a President Carson.

Question 2 is clearly negative. Only a trump cultist would think otherwise. In a man running for President of the United States, it is a negative that he has no foreign policy experience.

No, Carson being an outsider and doctor they knew that particular question would not go against him. It's the year of the outsider.

I was a nuke. Their are plenty of liars in that field. :)

I think Carson would get steamrolled in the general and there won’t be enough white guilt to get him into the White House.

Really? Who on FR is really a Bushie — who isn’t paid or would somehow benefit if Jeb got in?

Bush is the opposite of a Free Republic conservative. Both brothers are liberals. Big government liberals, bank bailout liberals, big healthcare liberals, open borders pro Amnesty liberals, pro Planned Parenthood liberals, NSA spying liberals, drone attack liberals...

The Bush Brothers are liberals. FR started going south on Bush in ‘04. Heck even right before 9/11 what was Geo W Bush doing? Meeting with the Mexican president to see how fast they could make a North American Union?

Who is in love with the Bushes on FR in this day and age? It was Bushies who submarined Sarah Palin in 08; so Bush gave us Obama!

LOL.

Well I'm talking to an obvious Trump hater.

I answered that in post 90 and 102.

They the Media here already understand the answers they would get to the questions. Just like lawyers.

GOPe Bushies are liberals.

We have to keep rubbing their noses in the truth. They are LIBERALS who have pushed LIBERAL policies and Obamacare, Amnesty, Planned Parenthood, Bank Bailouts, down our throats.

Our problem is we don’t clearly understand their agenda. We think, deep down, the GOPe liberals want what we want, a strong USA again. They don’t want a strong America again. They want to destroy the fairness inherent in the Constitution. They want to be the Pigs in Animal Farm. They want a North American Union.

Yes I saw that HH transcript. Trump has good instincts about the Iowa polls. Hope he blasts the push pollsters. Thanks again for posting the push poll questions that is a Carson surge hoax!

Did they ask those questions first BEFORE asking about presidential choices? If so, it is most definitely a push/pull poll. I checked the methodology and no mention of whether or not the obvious push/poll questions were asked first or not.

Mark Levin was saying in his last show that the GOPe would throw the election to Hillary and the Dems if they don’t get their guy(s) into the White House. He cited Bill Kristol of the Weekly Standard stating that he would vote 3rd party if Trump is the GOP nominee.

That is an unknown but those questions are their in the poll. You’d have to be on the receiving end of the questioning from the pollster to know what was asked first.

Lack of foreign policy experience in someone running for president is still a rap. It’s a common theme against both Carson and trump. It’s a theme against Carson even on this thread.

The neurosurgeon question, even though it’s basically positive, reinforces this question. It reminds respondents of Carson ‘s great skill, but subtly reminds that that competence is inside the operating room.

Only a trump cultist would think otherwise.

I'm not arguing that Bush is a conservative.

What I'm telling ya is that almost nobody on FR supports Bush, and that people like me who oppose Trump on FR are doing it because they DON'T LIKE TRUMP.
