If the media (written and tv) get any more egg on their faces with these ridiculous ‘Don Voyage’ articles, we’re going to have a salmonella crisis.

I still am voting Cruz in the primaries. The man has earned that from me for his heroism in the senate against the most vicious attacks.

The fact is though, even if Trump collapses, the backup candidates (Cruz and Carson) are right now 2ND AND 3RD!!!

Yeb and the rest lag. Barring any major screwup, no establishment candidate is positioned to win this election. That is a good thing, Trump or not.

But Frank Luntz said he witnessed Trump’s collapse on Thursday! His focus group had him down 80 percent!

FOX: Frank Luntz's debate focus group of Republican adults.

Outlier poll.

His national negatives (Dems, Independents, Repubs) before the debate were at 55% to 59%, and positives at 35-39%.

One debate is going to make that go to 62% favorability?

Keep dreaming.

IOW, the media wants to keep Trump in the game. It ensures a Democrat in the WH in 2016.

The only true conservative is one who is most patriotic about America. And Trump is a great patriot.

Trump should go on a competing program that airs at the same time the Kelly File does every night.

Angrea Mitchell is progressing nicely in her pupate phase, well on the way to a Helen Thomas fullness.

Karl Rove says hold your horses, it’s too early to call things. He’s still waiting for some Ohio precincts

...“Democrats have opened our borders to all manner of horrific Third World violence, crime, and disease. The GOP has supported and endorsed this vile activity every single step of the way. Trump has tapped into the fury of the American people over the unrelenting anti-American NWO push of our paid employees in government. Trump could win this on this one issue alone. Americans are tired of being betrayed by their government on both sides of the aisle.”...

Trump isn't sinking, he's rising...

He has shown (to a lot of people they thought he was whining) but have the head of fox news call him...wow...they know by what has happened with the back lash of the weekend, they are in bad trouble...

Trump doesn't back down, he's like a pit bull, he gets something in his head and he's won't stop until the bleeding is over (and I don't mean pit bull dogs, I love pit bull dogs)....

Luntz has dug it three times, twice at the Iowa conference then after the debate.

Old data. Trump's favorabilities had already reversed before the debate. Seen in several polls.
