Trump hits highest polling yet.

He's at 25% to Carson's 22%. Rubio has 12%.

Fuuuuck.

[WOT?*]

I'd vote Communist before I'd vote for either of those clowns. I really, really, really hope this means the Dems are a shoo-in.
(Thanks God McCarthy is dead.)

I'm more worried about Ben Carson at 22%--because that means that half of Republican primary voters want Trump or Carson.

I think Trump has hit the peak of his possible support; he really hasn't changed numbers much since late summer, and his negatives are still really high among Republicans. If he somehow starts winning primaries, I could see the party splitting.

ok- so the only good scenario is that this keeps his ego up & will prompt him to run indy or 3rd party once he GOP finally gets rid of him?? <<I'm hoping>>

I keep waiting on the joke to end. Worse, it's made me pretty critically aware of my fellow Americans, & what a lot of them want (think they want?) in a leader. And then I just want to throw things while simultaneously banging my head against the wall.

Even though this helps the Dems it makes me sick that this is where a signifigant portion of the country want to take us. And that's why Bernie has no chance. The reality of America is that we are not Denmark and large pockets of the country want nothing to do with a leftist socialist agenda. Even if Bernie could win somehow, this great socialist revolution will not happen. Look at our population?! There will be a revolt and it will probably be against the left, possibly ending Dem chances for a long time to come and undoing what little the left has gained over the years, American progress moves, but it moves in inches, not miles.

Part of me wants to think that when people actually answer Trump to these polls they are doing it to fuck with the system.

It is perplexing. I honestly don't get it.

I think a lot of people have given up on the system.

I also think that's part of the reason for Trump's popularity.

I'm hoping this is good news for the dems

[ESF]

I just got an alert from CNN - their poll has Trump at 27 and Carson at 22. Fiorina is back down to 4%.

This race is insane.

this seems like the kind of thing howard stern would be behind.

On the bright side, when some of you need to move to Canada, we have a fabulous new PM

The Trump love runs high here in Oklahoma. But, we also have deplorable education. Our high school graduation rate is going DOWN. So, sounds about right.
