Not enough bounce for Carson.

If we chose the nominee on a national basis, that would be impressive.

Sorry for those folks supporting Carson. He is a very nice fellow but not Presidential material - yet.

‘Does anybody actually pay attention to the Reuters poll methodology? Check it out:
1299 respondents: Trump 40%- 11/19
981 respondents: Trump 38.5%- 11/20
636 respondents: Trump 42.4%- 11/21
464 respondents: Trump 42.9%- 11/22
441 respondents: Trump 42.6%- 11/23
381 respondents: Trump 38%- 11/24
362 respondents: Trump 37%- 11/25
358 respondents: Trump 31%- 11/26
346 respondents: Trump 31%- 11/27

Notice how Trump’s numbers significantly decreased once they began to lower the sample size?’

What do you mean yet?

With all due respect to another FReeper, I dont care what kind of surgery he did, he’s a nut!!

He’s got the look of someone on anti psychotic meds.

The White House would have to be free of hammers and knives.

“Just two days ago, Carson was in 4th place with 9.8 percent”

Now at 15% two days later? Really? 50% increase in support in two days? I think all that tells us is that probably most of these polls are simply nonsense.

You know, I actually noticed how their samples were really small back when they were showing Carson coming close to Trump. I guess they’re at it again since they need a new narrative, but everybody else besides Trump are so far behind it doesn’t really make a huge difference.

Yup.

Carson seems a likable fellow, he has to have at least a modicum of intelligence to even function as a surgeon but for goodness sake he seems to have come apart at the seams lately.

Trying to stab a friend as a youth!?
Considered whacking his mama over the head with a hammer!?

I don’t believe Carson’s numbers; they don’t make sense at all. What did he do, to make his numbers go up?

"Does anybody actually pay attention to the Reuters poll methodology? Check it out:"

Yes:

We can safely say Trump is at about 40% when the sample goes over 440.

" Interesting that all the samples above 440 have Trump at 42% this one with 38% has a sample of 368."

No, he’s not a nut! He is a fine man and great surgeon. He is just not ready to be running for President as he has little knowledge of foreign affairs.

That does not make him anything other than an inexperienced politician which I actually like but to you he may be something otherwise, that is your choice.

Today, I would take him above any other GOPe politician running but apparently you would like another GOPe politician. That is your choice.

Well, I suppose that this is one way to look at it.

The first thing that I noticed--honestly!--is that Donald Trump's numbers have gone down significantly over this eight-day period.

My guess is that his numbers exploded, immediately following the terrorist attack in Paris; and then gradually decreased.

But whatever :)

Don’t think that I inferred that! I also would prefer Ted Cruz so am an bit unsure how you understood my comments otherwise?

Cruz is NOT part of the GOPe as I understand it... Neither is Trump or Carson. All scare the GOP and that is good!

Ah, I see that I inferred that other than Carson would be a GOPe candidate, not what I intended. I can see where you might have taken that wrong, sorry.

no problem.

of course i’d pull the lever for Carson over hillary.

and i could be COMPLETELY off base about his state of mind.

he’s catching flak for being a 7th day Adventist.

I come from a different planet...Staten Island, NY :)

Majority Italian roman Catholic with a bunch of Irish and now some Russians and albanians moving in (yuck)

I dont know WELL a person of any other religion.

And that leaves me completely out of those conversations.

Sorry to say that you do come off as a strange fellow!

Religion, please, why would you care about another persons religion unless it is terrorist based.

Yes, you do seem from a different planet if you consider Staten Island a different planet. Sorry, but you seem to have some real problems.

Other than you seem to be a religious quack and a bit of a (well who knows) kook, you should not be posting here.

Sorry, that I responded...geez!
