I’ve seen large numbers of Marco Rubio TV ads but, at most, a handful of Ted Cruz ads so that may help explain why the despicable Rubio is slightly ahead of Cruz.

Of course I’ve also seen HUGE numbers of Yeb Bush TV ads but that hasn’t seemed to have helped him. That’s likely because Yeb is already widely known as the “It’s an Act of Love Kid”.

Early times yet, but interesting still the same.
It's actually GOOD to have a REAL race between candidates.

It's almost true that ANYONE would be better than that smirking, simpering, phony-a** wife of the former POTUS. He, aka President Sleaze-bucket, was/is/will always will be a lot smarter than his smirking, simpering, phony-a** wife.

Am I being harsh?

I stand in support of a dedicated American who tells the truth, exaggerates nothing and is relentless in constitutional adherence and the pursuit of justice.

The genuine people's candidate:

Just saying.

Trump is firmly in the lead. And he has spent less than any other candidate in the race, on advertising.

The least. Period.

If he ever has to advertise, his advertising budget is almost unlimited.

Perhaps we have our champion already.

Just curious...does anybody know how long the longest running 1st place candidate was in that position through a primary season? Not that it means anything, but we’ve been hearing for months that Trump would be out by the end of summer...by the fall...by the winter, etc., etc. For all intents and purposes he’s practically lead since he announced. I don’t recall a recent race where a candidate lead gate to gate.

Is little !Yebbie! still running?

On the other end, the zeroes:
Gilmore
Pataki
Linda
Santorum

And also:
Huckabee 1
Christie 2
Kasich 2
Paul 2
FioRino 3
Yeb 5

These candidates are like the American Idol contestants who don’t know they can’t sing.

Trump is the Simon Cowell of candidates here.

If this was confined to what may be claimed a normal presidential primary election year
then one could reasonably categorize things using history. But apparently Trump has brought
into the mix a group that normally isn't that participatory in primary elections. If this holds
then we may have results favoring Trump where one would think he'd not do very well. Example
would be the Iowa caucuses.

Senior Amnesty has a scarlet “A” on his family that will keep him from ever winning the Republican nomination. He had little chance to begin with but after Paris he has no chnace - no chance at all.

Rubio’s numbers come from his ability to speak very well... he doesn’t stutter... he talks fast and says what they want to hear. But he’s more the GOP than he seems. His voting is along with the GOP. His was the deciding vote on the trade deal and he reaped $3.9 mil for that vote. He’s too close to letting the illegals live here and give them what they want. I don’t trust Rubio on ever getting the illegals sent packing. I don’t trust Rubio to NOT cross the aisle. I don’t trust Rubio to defy congress, and do for the people.

Trump’s numbers come from the fact he is not the GOP and he has the fight in the belly that gives us hope. He doesn’t talk like Rubio.. if he did, his numbers would be twice what they are. I do believe Trump will get the illegals packing .. Trump will see that our veterans are taken care of. Trump’s deal making impresses me. Trump has the sense to appoint those who will help him make the decisions that will make our country great again. I don’t think Trump will buckle to the media, nor to congress.
And Trump’s attitude is to WIN.

Cruz is my second choice after Trump... Cruz has proven he will fight congress and the media.. he’s good to go!

How on earth can any sane person believe that these Quinnipiac results are reliable? The same national poll that you cite also shows that Bernie Sanders would beat Donald Trump by 49 to 41.
