A Rasmussen Reports poll showed 37 percent of likely voters would back Clinton, as opposed to 36 percent for Trump. The poll of 1,000 likely voters was conducted Dec. 22-23 and had a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

I caught part of Fox's panel on that discussion this evening, didn't expect much more from Fox.

Probably a much different accounting from Mark Levin..

A lot of people who make fun of Trump in public will vote for him when the curtain closes.

This could really be a historic election.

That picture is spot on, Butch 2340.

Preach it, Herman:

quote:

The proper and appropriate people who pass judgment on Trump’s comportment have given us $19 trillion in debt, and offer “solutions” like 10-year plans that might (but probably won’t) reduce the amount added to the debt by $1 trillion or so over 10 years.

These same people have given us 12 million illegal immigrants living among us because they have refused to enforce current laws, and refuse to either start enforcing those laws or take new border security steps to ensure the problem will not get even worse.

These same people have given us a leviathan of a tax code so complicated that we Americans spend billions of dollars each year just trying to understand it – and that’s before we pay the taxes.

These same people think they’ve accomplished something grand when they manage to pass a spending bill that doesn’t shut down the government. That’s a pretty low bar, wouldn’t you say?

Jeb has spent millions to lose 10-15% in the polls. Trump has spent, what, 100.00 to gain the same percentage. It is not going to happen for Jeb. He should load up the truck and move to Beverly.......Hills, that is......swimmin' pools, movie stars.

Iowa caucus is 1 February 2016

New Hampshire primary is 9 February 2016

Current Iowa polling shows Cruz (30%) and Trump (28%) very close as favorites.

Rubio (12%) in third place. Bush in 5th place at 5%.

This is a plot of polls over time for the Iowa Rep Caucus.

Things changed fast. Back in July, Walker (yellow) was in the lead. In August, he faded out.

Trump (blue) popped up in August and has stayed high.

Carson (brown/red) popped up in September.
(Carson's 2 top aids resigned today)


Then in December Carson ramped down while Cruz (black) ramped up.

edited: originally had Rand Paul mixed w Carson

long article at Breitbart. Says things are going to get very ugly w BLM and Trump/Cruz.

Like spoiled children, none of this appeasement has done anything to quell the protesters’ fury. Every time that politicians or university administrators have given into the outrageous, entitled Black Lives Matter mob, they’ve learned that feeding that monster has only given it more power to make more demands.

In the face of all this feckless kowtowing, no wonder the blunt and in-your-face style of billionaire Donald Trump has hit home for so many Americans. Trump – like Ronald Reagan in the 1960s – seems to be one of the few people in public life willing to tell Black Lives Matter protesters to sit down, shut up, and stop taking the loser road of self-victimization.

This is one of the reasons that Donald Trump, more than any other political candidate on the scene right now, has incurred so much of the wrath and anger of Black Lives Matter. They are keenly aware that he simply will not play their game.

The other current frontrunner for the Republican nomination is Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who has already demonstrated that he is no cupcake either. Should either Cruz or Trump be the nominee, expect Black Lives Matter’s army to take to the streets and try to shut them down at every opportunity.

For that reason, the current political season is set to be even more divisive than either of the last two election cycles, which had already set a very high bar for vitriol.

As the newest incarnation of the activist Left, Black Lives Matter will not back down or rest until it is either stopped by someone gutsy enough to call them out or until it gets what it wants: a bloody revolution leading to a socialist/anarchist America.

...well I guess it's Trump or Cruz then eh?

Donald Trump went to Lowell, Mass. — a town about five miles south of the New Hampshire border — for one of his now trademark big-arena rallies on Monday night. This is what the crowd looked like per WaPo's Jenna Johnson.

The building — named after the late Massachusetts Sen. Paul Tsongas (D) — holds 8,000 people, and local officials were estimating that it was filled to capacity or beyond.

That is a MASSIVE amount of people — especially considering that the high temperature in Lowell yesterday was 29 degrees and Trump's rally didn't start until the evening.

the willingness of so many people to wait so long in such cold temperatures simply for the chance to see Trump speak would suggest that the idea that his supporters won't be the sort of people to sit through the long caucus process of Iowa or turn out to vote in the frigid cold of New Hampshire might be misguided.

That is a truly astonishing photo-- forget the temperature: in Massachusetts. No other candidate could do anything close to this.

If you ever wondered how the French aristocracy could have been so "Let them eat cake" out of touch, I give you Jeb! Bush. And Chris Christie. And Marco Rubio. And Reince Priebus. And George Will, along with the entire MSM.

Haven't you heard? Donald Trump is unelectable.

He has (according to polls and you know how much validity I give to polls) a 186% douchebaggery rating among female voters.

Well,there ya go. Some pollsters made up some numbers for you and you swallowed them whole. Wut we do now? Why vote? Ain't you heard that Trump has a 246% douchebggery rating among those voters who self-identified as not male. Come on, the anonymous pollster says it's over, so it's over.

Contrast that photo above with the ONE person who showed up for a Martin O'Malley rally in Iowa. The one who did show up remains uncommitted.



Martin O’Malley event draws one voter and he’s still uncommitted

The sad truth is people outside MA would be surprised how conservative the state would be if it were not for the urban communities and the college towns.

How many people was he expecting? It looks like it's being held in an elementary school portable building.

I think they moved into that room to try to blunt the embarrassment when no one showed.
