What a COS. Pick your poll and you can pick your leader.

National review is a shill for anything to support the old guard elite pubbies. If that means torpedoing the front runner so be it. More suicidal actions by the pubbies.

Pubbies won’t win because they can’t align. The party is split and that is just what the dims would love to see happen. They would orchestrate it if they had to but they don’t have to because the pubbies have their own gun out to blow their own foot off.

Well, Cooke, genius, it depends on the poll taker. The ones, like you, who hate Trump, have him second. Others, more objective, have him first.

Probably because he knows he isn’t in second place.

Carson is the one constant that the MSM/Dems/RINO’s keep afloat, like an insurance card, while they promote, one by one, each of the other Pub candidates to see if any of them will take. And of course none of them do. Now it’s Rubio’s turn, and he too will be a dud. Probably Chris Christie will be up next for sainthood. They’ll stoop to Cruz only if desperate enough. It’s laughable, really.

Ben Carson is NOT going to be our next President.

****************

I’d go a bit farther and say Ben Carson won’t be the GOP
nominee for president.

Has Been Carson to me. Only a fool would jump on board to have endorsed a no fly zone in Syria the week the russians moved in. He completely lost me on that one.

Him along with his equally foolish compatriots Snarly, Crispy Kreme, Murko Rubio, Yeb! and Kasich who all suggested the same thing. Idiots.

A few weeks ago Trump made the remark that if he started to lose, he'd quit....a few says later polls were posted that Trump was dropping back in the polls....a coincidence, I think now, just rotten polls by the msm...

Trump recognizes cooked polls

He won’t worry unti l 10,,000 people stand line to hear what former democrat and obama voter and totally inexperienced executive leader Ben Carson plans to do when tptb let the true post obama ruined economy emerge and crash into depression and the Russians and Chinese sew up the middle east and Asia

I am a Cruz supporter, but I recognize that Trump is holding back on his considerable resources. Every long campaign has a rhythm, and he has picked up well on this one. Now some in the media and punditry class will start focusing on attacking Carson. Trump still hasn’t come out with an ad campaign, but he says it’s coming. His book is just released. Don’t write the post mortem while the gunslinger has bullets in his gun.

National RINO Review has had it out from Trump, since he announced.

This makes the how many hit pieces this Cooke guy has written on Trump?

RINO Review’s reports of Trump’s losing are greatly exaggerated. ;-)

Cooke has been an anti-Trump douchebag for months. Trump isn’t in second, was only in second in IA and now is back in first, and they can only get Trump in second on RCP by eliminating pro-Trump polls.

Agree.

Carson is a paper tiger. The RINOs have realized that Jeb isn’t going to cut it. So they’ve moved to Rubio. They are pumping up Carson because they know his support is going to tank.

New poll out today shows Trump at 31% and Carson at 15%. That’s closer to the truth. Carson will be below 10% in sixty days.


Carly couldn’t save the EGOP so now Ben is the next one in line to pseudo damage The Donald

This election season has yielded not a return to normalcy, but to a primitive and witless Harlequinade. For almost half a year now, Donald Trump has steadfastly ignored the Right's need for a Coolidgian anti--hero and struck a messianic pose

Really? WTF?

No don’t be a twit. I say don’t dismiss ANY polls. If you look at ALL polls, Carson is losing nationally and getting crushed at the state level-—SC, NC, NH, FL, MN, PA, and now IA. Only state poll he still leads in (older) is WI and newer is TX.
