PING!
Well of course he will be; that’s an easy thing to see. :-)
Oh, an online poll? The most accurate kind available.
Looks like Trump is surging after the debate.
That really depends. I think once a Republican wins, the shredding machines will go into overdrive and once the books are opened and the truth is seen. OMG, I can’t imagine what will be seen. It’s scary thinking about it.
Everyone always looks to the DJIA and say well everything is looking great but when you account for the $85 billion printed each month for 7 years.
I’m just glad it’s not me.
“Oh, an online poll? The most accurate kind available.”
these numbers didn’t come from an online poll:

it’s easier to just make shit up instead of actually doing a tiny bit of research, isn’t it?
Right! Polls don’t matter! What matters is that Ted Cruz is a consistent Conservative! With a consistent Conservative you get the same thing over and over. With a wild man like Donald Trump you wouldn’t know what different things you would get.
I remember when we didn’t use that word here.
Cruz, Rubio, Bush, have not created a SINGLE job by themselves in the private sector. They do not have the foggiest idea how the real economy works. All 3 have been cashing government checks all their life.
What a total disaster and mess we’ll be living next Jan. The next president is going to have a terrible time.
If things go downhill before the election, it will help the Republican nominee greatly.
DJIA & SPX & Nasdaq have not done well at all in 2016.
Starting in my early 20s I made payroll every Friday for decades. The rest of the week was getting sales, collecting the money, babysitting employees - 50 or so on a consistent basis, sweet talking vendors.
I’m sick of being ruled by people who don’t have a clue what the real world is like.
Me too.
I also recall that 'free republics' were a thing which did not seek 'handling' of economies. Certainly not at the federal/central level anyway.
Freedom is not a business to be handled. It is a principle to be defended.
He is not my first choice overall and he is not at the very bottom of the above list because of this aspect, I assume. But it seems ironic that so many here favor the guy at the top when Dr bottom-of-the-list Ben has promoted by far the most appropriate tax system for a free republic which at least allows a healthy economy the freedom to exist - a true flat tax.
I don’t think the country needs a President to ‘handle the economy and jobs’ as much as it needs leadership to get the federal government out of the way so capitalism can work like it’s supposed to.
One big way to do that is to get rid of the terrible job stifling ACA health insurance mandate. Another is to reduce the size of the fed gov by 50%.
Trump concerns me since he went after W like he did. We all know W wasn’t a perfect Prez but he did the best he could given the knowledge he had. WMD’s were indeed found in Iraq so that was not a lie he made up. It was the intel had been given by the best sources they had at the time.
A Trump Presidency doesn’t scare me but a Cruz Presidency would be better in the long run. It’s a trust issue and Cruz has simply earned more trust and is a proven conservative. From a conservatives point of view; they just don’t get any better than Cruz. JMHO. YMMV. FWIW.
Pied Piper!! Dr. Drumph!!!
Man, if (and hopefully when) Trump wins South Carolina, the Cruzaders and going to pop a vein.
Politicians need to get the hell out of our way.

Hardly an unbiased source, still I agree that Trump is by far and away the most business savvy candidate.
if the poll was 55 to 9 Cruz over Trump you would have posted it is a split second who are you trying to kid?
