The Presidency is not a dictatorship. The President's main responsibility is to select those advisors and cabinet leaders who are way up to speed. Most of Government is run by the troops who are very familiar with the system. There is no doubt that Trump would be much better in selecting a team to lead America back to be that leader of the World. And he can restore the economic Country better than it has ever been.

Not tied. Bad headline for the information highlighted. Outside the MOE.

However, its an interesting site. You can play with the filters.

I find the Cruz and Bush numbers more interesting than I do Reump and Carson.

And according to this site, 13% of self identified Republicans also reported voting for Obama. I fimd that kind of metric anomalous.

Trump has stated he will end the run up on the government debt.

He has stated he will also start paying that debt down.

He’s the only person running who has any idea what he’s talking about when it comes to bug sums of money, and a bottom line.

He states he’s going to put U. S. Citizens back to work.

Our work force is about 135 million people at this time. What happens if he puts 50 million back to work? The national tax receipts go up by over a third.

Coupled with cutting the size of government, something he’s acvocating by naming specific departments he wants to shutter, and increasing tax revenues, Trump has a decent idea how to downsize government.

What has Paul’s chief executive experience been?

Has he run a corporation? Has he employed 22,500 people like Trump has? Has he had to meet a massive bottom line? What experts has been listed who have volunteered to help him.

Trump has mentioned several heavy-weights who want to basically volunteer their services for free.

Cruz is a good guy, but he doesn’t have experience or expertise in this field either. And as for heave-weights to volunteer their time for free, he has none of them wither.

Trump just basically pulls his team over and goes to work on day one.

How could you possibly leave him off your short list?

I believe there are 3. Including your 2.

Trump

Auto correct not an insult

Rooters changed their methodology by a lot. They consistently polled 500 to 600 but today they show 195.

In terms of percentages, they decreased their polling significantly by -250% to -300%.

I think Trump would probably be better than either of them at cutting the government. Have you seen the picture of Trump signing his tax returns which are stacked a couple of feet tall on his desk? Trump has more experience being on the wrong end of government BS every year at tax time than either Cruz or Paul will ever have.

You.Gov has Trump ahead 6 pts with a very small MOE. I think you will see this gulf widen as the polls come out in the next week or so. Carson stumbled badly Wed night. And some negative info is coming out on him. I look for him to fade going forward.

“It is a symptom that our country is officially insane, that Carson and Trump are 1-2 in polling.”

People often forget we’re still very early in the process. There’s a large amount of fluidity at this point.

My 93 year old Mom said to me yesterday that she was so glad to see Trump stop being rude. LOL!

So funny you said that. Mr GG2 said the same exact thing the other day. I kind of blew it off but you guys may be right.

So far, I have seen one Trump bumper sticker, and one Carson bumper sticker.

So, yes, it’s a tie.

I am on the left coast. A lot of Bernie stickers, and a few Hillary, but none for any Republican.

“It is Cruz at 2%.”

I have to agree. A pure BS poll. Cruz at 2% proves it.

It's all bullchit!

Less than two hours ago there was a "BRAND NEW SHOCK POLL" that claimed Trump was more than 14 points up on everyone.

Just find a poll that has the results you like/want and read it.

Polls are just the crooked offspring of the crooked organization's conducting them.

And in the RealClearPolitics polls that ran in both September and October Trump's percentage rose in 2 and dropped in 5. This is not a good trend.
