SNL probably helped Trump
REPORTER: He called you a child molester. Do you think he owes you an apology?
CARSON: Well, I don’t think he called me a child molester.
REPORTER: He compared your pathology to child molestation.
CARSON: Well, you know, I always find it a little amusing what people in the press like to say. You compare this, and therefore this is all the same. I don’t buy all that stuff, so those are questions you should ask Donald Trump.
Would some Freepers like to apologize to Donald now?
Headline matches the numbers I’m seeing at the link...
Put your cursor on the dot for Trump for nov 13th
Go Trump!
His mother who was still alive after he wrote his book? Yeah sure.
How about the guys in old neighborhood?
Carson bragging about all his violence. Watch this.

All networks are reporting a 95 minute tirade. In truth there was one segment of his speech in Iowa where he went off on Carson, demonstrated the belt buckle thing, said “How stupid are the people of Iowa” while in Iowa and said he could go back to his life, hates interviews anyway. Also, though not new, strong language toward press (2) scum & garbage.
My sister thinks he was pissed about his son on Cavuto. Apparently Cavuto tore Trump down to his son and treated him badly. Don’t know but that sums up the “tirade” .
This is an online poll. Period. That is why it tracks more like the post-debate push polls.
This poll is NOT included in the RCP average of polls because it is not deemed scientific enough and is ALWAYS an outlier.
Here is the actual RCP polling average taken from scientific polling:
Trump is up .4%. So his lead is very slim, which may explain his outburst last night. I suspect he knows he has reached a peak level of support and can’t get beyond it, and if/when he starts regularly falling to 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc, his air of inevitability will be over and all he will have to cling to are polls like this and utterly unscientific post-debate push polls.
Got it.
I was seeing numbers from the 9th
Here is what I know.
Trump has added over 400,000 subscribers on his twitter account since the first dem debate.
Trump is adding 10,000 subscribers per day.
No other candidate is even near these numbers not even Hillary not even close.
Because telling the people of Iowa they are stupid for supporting Carson is a good way of winning a broader coalition of support, right?
I am not saying Trump had his “Dean Scream” moment, but his speech last night was in exceedingly poor taste.
Trump is going to hang on to some support because he has built a cult of personality for himself, but even if he holds a solid 20%-25% it will not be enough to win Iowa - and I am guessing he knows this.
If the RCP polls made some sense, I would buy into them. They don’t.
Carson hasn’t drawn over 2000 to any of his events.
Trump has drawn tens of thousands. In one instance 15 times as much as Carson’s best showing. And yet, RCP wants me to buy into the idea Carson is tied with Trump.
Sorry, you guys are trippin’.
Watch what is happening. The college campus thing is planned to create civil unrest. This is going to grow and it may end with Obama stopping the election. The seed has been planted.
Be ready.

Even better news from my Twitter feed.

Actually Carson hit Trump even harder, questioning "the Donalds" ability to even understand what pathological means.
But Carson said Friday in South Carolina that someone should inform Trump what the word "pathological" means.
"It's the not the kind of dialogue that I would ever engage in. And I'm hopeful that maybe his advisers will help him to understand the word 'pathological' and recognize that does not denote 'incurable,'" Carson said when a reporter asked whether Trump's rhetoric was "appropriate" for a Republican front-runner.
"It's not the same," Carson added. "It simply is an adjective that describes something that is highly abnormal — and something that fortunately I've been able to be delivered from for half a century now."
Now that's good stuff. Suggesting Trump needs help from his advisors to understand a word, and that Carson wouldn't stoop so low as to engage in the kind of dialogue Trump demonstrated in his little tirade. This back and forth will be far more damaging to Trump than Carson.
As I expected Carson dropping. The more his supporters get to know him the less they like him.
Most so called "scientific polls" sample between 600 to 1500 respondents,
The Drudge poll for example asked a simple question. "Who in your opinion won the debate?"
Nearly 350,000 respondents answered. My Point: I place MORE validity on these LARGE respondent numbers than samplings which can be much easier manipulated or skewed.
