Who actually has payed attention to politics the last few days? Nobody but political junkies are following this story or cares about this story over Thanksgiving.

I don’t think the Muslim database or the reporter are the cause of any drop.

If anything, it was the 9/11 thousands of Muslims cheering in NJ thing that fed into the narrative that Trump is fast and loose with the truth. Even though, I’m sure everyone can agree there were some muslims in NJ cheering. Thousands was an exaggeration and the media is using it as a cudgel to beat Trump over the head.

Trump should have just referenced the Washington Post article and said his memory was wrong about the thousands part. It would have been a one day nothing burger of a story. Instead he quadrupled down and it became a big media frenzy. He will need to become more disciplined if he wants to go beyond his base of 30%.

Turkey will not be a push over they have a very capable military even without NATOs support. But you are right Russia would love to own Constantinople and Dardanelles

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And what the panties in a deep wad folks, here, complaining about "the mocking of a disabled person" are purposely over-looking, is that Trump was MOCKING A STUPID LEFTY REPORTER, whom he claims he did not know is disabled. Trump can and should "mock" every single stupid reporter and talking head who goes after him !

The ups and downs of the polls seems more an artifact of how polling is done, rather than actual movement. Plus, as people are less and less likely to answer phones, phone polls become less and less reliable.

The only polls that will matter are the primary election results.

There’s more than one candidate who’s beating Hillary, actually Trump has the lowest margin of victory in head to heads with Hill. I don’t buy the premise that Trump is the only hope to beat Hillary Clinton.

After all they mock any of us who support Trump or Cruz or any other solid conservative.

Yes, that poll even has Carson beating her, which is NOT believable at all.

You don’t know what you are talking about. Here is what the reporter was quoted as saying in an article in the NYT.

“...In an interview on Thursday, Mr. Kovaleski said that he met with Mr. Trump repeatedly when he was a reporter for The Daily News covering the developer’s business career in the late 1980s, before joining The Post. “Donald and I were on a first-name basis for years,” Mr. Kovaleski said. “I’ve interviewed him in his office,” he added. “I’ve talked to him at press conferences. All in all, I would say around a dozen times, I’ve interacted with him as a reporter while I was at The Daily News.””

I quoted the 10th paragraph of the story. Here is the Link. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/27/us/politics/donald-trump-says-his-mocking-of-new-york-times-reporter-was-misread.html?_r=0

Exactly so!

And we are mocked, by them, even when there is no primary or election.

The rot gut pours freely from Reuters bottle. This ‘bunch’ should rename themselves to Roto-Rooters

Hey, boys, your polls are useless and insufferable. Give it up as your days are numbered.

I am very much in favor of the civil rights that are clearly expressed in the first ten amendments of the Constitution. I hope every conservative American that posts here on Free Republic is also.

Perhaps Trump got a little bounce from the Paris attacks which was temporary. Added in with a holiday means don’t panic.

Here is the New York Times article where the reporter claims to have interviewed and had other interractions with Donald Trump on many occasions. The article is entitled “Donald Trump Says His Mocking of New York Times Reporter Was Misread” and here is the 10th Paragraph from the Article.

“...In an interview on Thursday, Mr. Kovaleski said that he met with Mr. Trump repeatedly when he was a reporter for The Daily News covering the developer’s business career in the late 1980s, before joining The Post. “Donald and I were on a first-name basis for years,” Mr. Kovaleski said. “I’ve interviewed him in his office,” he added. “I’ve talked to him at press conferences. All in all, I would say around a dozen times, I’ve interacted with him as a reporter while I was at The Daily News.””

We’ll see your reaction when your candidate gets ‘tromped’ on like Trump has been....whoever it is isn’t going to hold up under all of it, we do have things these other candidates have said ‘before’ they decided to run for office.....

OH YEAH...I forgot, the only one that can’t change his stance is Trump....

Your guy has lots of pimples too. There are no pillars of virtue in this contest.

Turning this country around is going to take someone that knows how to get things done, has a vision of what he wants to accomplish and the people skills to build a team to implement his agenda. Someone exactly like Trump.

This is our last chance election, we'd better get it right this time cause another Bush or anything even close to a Bush and the country is finished as a Constitutional Republic. There is no doubt in my mind that Trump has an agenda and he is telling us exactly what that agenda is.

There are too many candidates!!!!!! If about 5 of them dropped out, we could get a clearer picture of how the voters will settle on a nominee.

Right now, there seems to be a ceiling of sorts on Trump; and too many others to divide the voies.

Something doesn’t add up here; literally. Trump is down 12, Carson is down 9 and Cruz & Rubio tied for Third Place at 8 points each. If Trump and Carson dropped a total of 21 points each and Cruz and Rubio are both just at 8 percent...... Where did that 21 point drop in the top two candidates go? Somebody help me out here.
