I still think that Cruz’s wife’s past association with Goldman Sachs will become a big obstacle when the wives are paraded out and used during the campaign.

Do wives matter? I think so. Think Newt here! Think Candy Carson. Hell, think Mr. Lindsey Graham. I’m also wondering how the large crowds will take to Mrs.Trump?

Trump is on fire. He is adding 10,000 twitter followers a day and has added 500,000 followers in 4 weeks.

No candidate has this kind of growth.

In the same time Hillary has added 40,000 followers.

Amazing!!!!!

Just as a note - this is the first time this company has polled the national race. So unless the other polls start to show similar numbers, I would be careful about taking it at face value...

Nice to see the Drip, Drip, Drip of Cruz climbing in the polls. Past Bush, past Fiorina and now past Rubio. Carson will be the next victim and then it will be Trump and Cruz fighting for the lead. Now that will be interesting.

I wish the obtuse Christians(the gullible ones) would wise up over Carson. They helped elect Jimmy Carter, and are causing trouble again with their naive, misplaced loyalty. Carson is a serial liar and an Establishment flake.

I intend to follow the lead of JimRob, who said that (paraphrased) "it's Trump or Cruz, all the others are amnesty pimps".

The Boss is right.

If wives aren’t out front jockeying for power, I don’t have any problem with any first lady. No matter which wife ends up as the spouse of the Republican candidate, she’ll be put through the wringer. Unfortunately. I wish Ivanka was going to be first lady! She’s great.

Fox and WSJ are one in the same, owned by OPEN BORDERS Rupert Murdoch. They prop up all open borders politicians, and Trash Trump Daily.

True, but why mess with the drive-bys’ narrative?

Not good news for Bush...3%

Trump’s strategy appears to be to continue being the first to speak against Syrian refugee entry, the wall, the insanity of supplying our enemies in the middle east, etc.

What non-politician American can really argue with him?

“Hi, momma, some funny men with beards and backpacks were walking around our school fence today.”
