Donald Trump has been declared dead by the lamestream media more times than Mark Twain, Bob Hope and Queen Elizabeth combined.
Bye Bye Megyn Kelly and the pole you rode in on.
Reports of Donald Trump’s death are premature.
48 48 55. Numbers accending. Have not been able to find NYT or Time magazines but told last night they were also higher
So are these polls all 1 vote 1 time?
Fox folks like playing Zombie Island. They need a new character. The Trump Zombie.
Doesn’t thead title really mean bad news for Rupert / GOP?
Rupert and his minions tried to take out Trump and they missed and took out Jeb instead.
I didn’t think any of the candidates did terrible but I couldn’t stand the moderators. Right out of the gate it is the war on women again.
This is the election where the people will finally refuse to let the Republican establishment shove the RINO candidate down our throats. We will have a conservative in 2016.
And also by lots of freeper trolls too. Still standing...
Bttt
I would pick Cruz over Trump, but...that is why Cruz will not get any face time.
The Establishment plans to determine who will win the primaries.
Trump, Cruz, or Ben Carson will not win in the end.
But, but, but, Luntz’ focus group all changed candidates??? His campaign collapsed last night!
Pray America is waking
LOL He’s our Secretariat.....waaaaaaay ahead of the others
Luntz jumped the shark a few weeks ago..
It seems to me that pro-DC cartel Fx News underestimated “stupid” citizens.
These polls are pretty much consistent across the board.
That’s why the media isn’t reporting any of their own polls on who won.
And they are only reporting on Luntz rigged focus group.
The Fox News cartel despises their own customers/viewers.
