Good.

I think Scott Walker is a great big nothing burger.

[Democrat_media]

Looks like it’s over . Trump at 30%

[jennings2004]

YOU GO, LINDA!

[spokeshave]

...Does this mean that he gets two chairs at the debate

...and twice as much time as anybody else.....just askin...

[Reno89519]

Makes clear Trumps overwhelming support. The only reason Walker has any support is because he is from nearby Wisconsin, otherwise I suspect he’d be down with Cruz.

[Democrat_media]

This poll shows that most of the media polls (CNN , etc) are fake.

the media polls have Jeb bush higher and Trump lower. Jeb is only at 10% and Trump at 30%

[free_life]

Wait till the losers and Rinos drop out, which is pretty much everyone of them, Trump will run in the high 50’s to 60’s

[Lurkinanloomin]

As long as the GOP nominee is not ¡Yeb!

I will not vote to become North Mexico.

[TNMOUTH]

LOL...

It is still way over. I will say it’s over if he carries it into the actual election

Whether he does or does not remains to be seen. He is showing quite clearly though that the rest of the candidates are failing to connect with American voters.

[HarleyLady27]

But just yesterday there was an article on FR that said that Trump wouldn’t even make it to Iowa....REALLY???????

[conservative98]

Wait till the losers and Rinos drop out, which is pretty much everyone of them, Trump will run in the high 50’s to 60’s

Trump now has a clear path, IF he can stand on the stage with all the establishment candidates and go toe to toe without failing - as Perry did.

If he can be a serious player and not just a loudmouth, if he can appear Presidential, and if he can come across as likeable, I pity the other players - even with their money.

This is a tall order that has tanked many other potential early lead candidates.

That said, the odds of a Republican winning and making serious changes to an out of control government, legal system and cronyist system are almost nil. Do NOT depend on any POTUS to change the system. You will be disappointed - again.

[catnipman]

I wonder if this means Walker will skip campaigning in Iowa too.

[hosepipe]

POLLS are opinions... basically GOSSIP.... or even rumor..
any effected by POLLS are NOT serious voters.. but drones..

DRONES VOTE... look at the democrat convention..
Any for democracy are drones...
Democracy is Mob Rule..................... by mobsters.. always.

[catnipman]

” if he can come across as likeable”

I don’t want someone “likeable”; that’s the main problem with the GOPe RINO candidates: they NEED to be “liked”.

I want a tough, straight-talking, non-BSing candidate with huevos who means what they say, says what they mean, and does what they say they’re going to do. They need to be feared, not liked.

I don’t want someone “likeable”....the problem with GOPe RINO candidates is they NEED to be “liked”.

Good point....most of them look like they're running to shore up their lack of self-esteem.

Trump is connecting b/c he's already got it..... in spades.

He's running w/ a whole 'nother agenda.....to Make America Great Again.
