Tripwire Alert: New Hampshire â€“ Trump Leads, Carson Has Collapsed, Cruz Rejected (splitters split)

Wow - Now we know why the GOPe is in full blown panic mode. The results from the latest WMUR/CNN Poll in New Hampshire (full pdf below) shows support for Ben Carson has fully collapsed, and Ted Cruz drops below John Kasich.... But it gets much, much worse for the establishment candidates.

The GOPe road map has totally collapsed in New Hampshire. All of the GOPe splitters are now left picking leftover scraps from those voters who are in the undecideds:

Trump has forced upon the GOPe the absolute nightmare scenario - "the splitters are splitting upon themselves". Rubio, Bush and Christie combined cannot beat Donald Trump's current level of support.

The millions spent by Team Kasich have garnered him a grand total of 7%; and the tens of millions spent by Jeb Bush only get him to 8%. The granite state electorate are fully engaged and they are seeing through the GOPe establishment schemes.

The New Hampshire voters are also seeing through the convenient flip-flops of Cruz and have identified the reality of Carson's inability.

DURHAM, N.H. --New York business executive Donald Trump not only continues to lead the Republican field, but his lead has grown significantly since late summer, with more likely primary voters than ever now saying they believe he will win the New Hampshire primary.

A new CNN/WMUR New Hampshire Primary Poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center also shows that Republican voters believe that by far, Trump stands the best chance among the GOP field to win the November 2016 general election and become president.

The poll, conducted from Nov. 30 to Dec. 7 among 402 likely Republican primary voters, also shows that in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernadino, California, half of Republican primary voters consider foreign policy and national security the issue most important to their votes. It is far ahead of jobs and the economy, now at 18 percent, and immigration at 12 percent.

The poll also show that U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida has moved into second place, but still with less than half of amount of support enjoyed by Trump.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie appears to have received a slight bump from his endorsements by the New Hampshire Union Leader and past and current legislative leaders. He has moved into third place, but is still in single digits at 9 percent, up from 5 percent he received in the previous CNN/WMUR New Hampshire Primary poll in September.

Trump now leads the field with the support of 32 percent of likely primary voters, followed by Rubio at 14 percent, with Christie at 9 percent, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 8 percent, Ohio Gov. John Kasich at 7 percent, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas at 6 percent, and former business executive Carly Fiorina and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson each at 5 percent. (read more)

All the mediot fools are unknowingly backing Obamaâ€™s refusal to use his existing Constitutional power to shut down muslim aliens entering the country until they can be properly vetted. This will surge Trump again in the polls.

Per existing federal law at 8 USC 1182:

Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to appropriate.

Current laws banning admission to the US, and not requiring new laws. Just need someone like Trump to have them enforced:

What is Tedâ€™s interpretation of this still standing Law?
Does he feel it is still valid?

Cruz has never made a move toward New Hampshire and anyone who has followed this race has known that. If he ends up in the top two in Iowa and ends up in the top three in New Hampshire, he will be set to continue onto South Carolina and the March 1st contests.

Endurance and survival is the important part of this race. Those who can’t end up in the top three of either Iowa and New Hampshire will be out of time, out of money, and out of the running.

And that includes Cruz, Rubio, Bush, Trump, Carson or anyone else. After Iowa, the New Hampshire polls will solidify dramatically and we will get a better sense of who will do well there.

Trump clearly has the lead right now, but a lot of candidates have flamed out in the last month before Iowa.

The New Hampshire voters are also seeing through the convenient flip-flops of Cruz and have identified the reality of Carson's inability.

This writer does is either ignorant of the dynamics or is being dishonest. Cruz scores worse in New Hampshire because he gives off more of an evangelical vibe than New Hampshirites are comfortable with. Carson never was a big deal in NH to begin with.

Also, give Trump his due; he knows how to communicate to northeasterners.

All northeasterners have been exposed to the idea that a traditional conseravtive cannot win, because of the people they live and workl with every day in the leftist mode dominate the local culture. Trump is an unconventional politician whom is nationalist, but not philosophically conservative in the typical manner.

Unless you are a mind reader, you are a fool if you can look at a raw percentage, and based on that determine that the voters who have changed are thinking one particular thing.
