If he wins Iowa, and that’s a big IF, that’s his high water mark in the campaign.

The majority of polls have him consistently winning each and every one of them, even one you showed me.

That's a flat-out lie. I showed you the SurveyMonkey polls which had Cruz winning the CNBC debate (Trump in 3rd) and Fiorina winning the last one. http://www.scribd.com/doc/287955649/Go-p-Race-Survey-Monkey-Top-Lines

Thanks for your thoughts on Trump. I will continue to pay attention to his remarks, hoping that I can become comfortable with him. I’d like to be able to be enthusiastic about him, but I ain’t there yet.

That's a flat-out lie.

You showed me a poll with Cruz in fourth place and Trump at first, which you posted from Survey Monkey. Trump similarly has led the vast majority of "who won the debate" polls since then. You have your one Survey Monkey poll for this third debate, but you have to confess that Trump won in that same poll the other debates, per your own image! This disproves your nonsense that Trump has performed "very weak" in the debates.

Nope, you're misremembering. Like I said, Fiorina won the 2nd debate in their poll.

And their poll on the first debate also had Fiorina winning among all the candidates in both the early and evening debates that day.

Just to be clear, that graphic and link are both from the first debate.

This link shows SurveyMonkey said Fiorina won the 2nd debate as well:

So, Trump hasn’t won a debate yet according to SurveyMonkey’s polls. And that’s painfully clear to anyone who watched the debates and witnessed his lackluster, flat, unenergetic performances.

You know what, you're right. I misread your picture. It had Trump in 2nd place and Cruz in 4th.

But I'd begin to doubt a poll that puts the horse face in front of Trump!

You don’t look very hard. There’s a lot out there.

A civilized, smart guy...unlike Trump.

Where's your medical degree?

It's stuck in this lady's brain where Ben Carson forgetfully left it:

"He's totally untrustworthy!" one former patient, Karly Bailey, told The ENQUIRER. The Florida woman claimed Carson spent "maybe 14 minutes" with her and her parents before performing a delicate brain tumor operation that ruined her life at age 9.

"My parents told him they weren’t authorizing him to remove the whole tumor because of the risk," said Karly, now 27.

"But he did what he [expletive] pleased! He tried to remove all of the tumor, and injured my nerves and brain stem.

"I was paralyzed on my right side. I've never fully recovered. I have chronic fatigue, and my eyes dance around. It's like having permanent vertigo. My face droops and people are really cruel."

Karly's family slapped Carson — then director of pediatric neurosurgery at Baltimore’s Johns Hopkins Hospital — with a lawsuit.

But in a 2011 affidavit, Carson shockingly called Karly's post-op problems "unavoidable."

The conservative candidate, 64, built his medical reputation on being the first surgeon to successfully separate twins conjoined at the head.

But The ENQUIRER uncovered complaints about the married father of three dating back to 1986 — a year before his success with the twins.

One alleged bungled operation involved a patient identified as John P. Sparco. In court papers, he claimed Carson and three other surgeons operated on him to remove what they claimed was a deadly tumor.

The tiny tumor turned out to be benign and non–life-threatening. But during the procedure, he suffered "irreversible" injuries, including deafness in one ear, dizziness and slurred speech.

His lawyer said: "To strangers he appears to be drunk."

Carson was slammed for another alleged botched surgery in 1999. After he operated on a girl from Michigan, X-rays taken later at another hospital found the patient’s severe post-op pain was the result of a shunt that was put in "upside down."

In another horrifying case, a 69-year-old Florida woman claimed her eardrums were perforated during a 2008 operation for facial pain performed by Carson’s team.

When the pain recurred, Carson told the patient, Darlene King, that she might have a tumor. But surgery revealed the lump was actually "a sponge he had left in (her) brain"!

The Enquirer? Really?

Despicable. Carson used to a hero on sites like this until Trump fever took over.

I don’t know what happened to conservatism. I almost am tempted to say it’s dead.

I have yet to meet a single Carson supporter.

Yeah, you can meet them at his next mega rally for Insomniac Unicorns.

Matt Drudge himself posted this on his website a couple of weeks ago, though it didn't get picked up by any conservative sites. I suspect the GOPe saw it though. The Enquirer is actually pretty good in breaking these sorts of stories. They broke the Tiger Woods and Edwards stories, if I recall correctly. If they say they have the documents, then they have the documents.

We didn't know Carson that well back then!

He is being pushed by the pollsters, the masses eat this stuff up, and perhaps as much as 20 % of GOP are food fed as well

Carson said the other day that Communists have infiltrated every facet of American life. I’ve learned to admire him greatly.

I think it is all a question of being focused and staying focused on the BIG QUESTIONS for our country’s future. First for me is stopping the invasion and sending the aliens home. Second is building back our military. Third, Trump will also do what he can to tighten up the ship and get rid of so much bureaucracy. 4. He also wants FAIR Trade, not FREE trade. big difference. For me the so called social issues are irrelevant until we get the house in order. First things first.
Trump isn’t perfect, but he can WIN and he can do the job.
