“Did Trump decline because of the debate or had he already declined beforehand and actually came back a bit afterward thanks to his performance?
Either way, it’s harder this morning to argue that that NYT/CBS bombshell last week showingCarson ahead of Trump for the first time nationally was an outlier. NYT/CBS had him ahead 26/22; WSJ/NBC has it 29/23. And even that margin understates how well Carson is doing at the moment. When you combine Republican voters’ first and second choice, Trump’s suddenly behind by 15 points.
“That’s the first time any Republican has cracked 50 percent combined in one of WSJ/NBC’s polls. Note the trend lines too. Rubio jumped from 16 to 26 percent between July and September; Ted Cruz jumped from 17 to 23 percent in just a few weeks last month; and Carson has built on his support steadily in every poll since June. Trump, however, has been stuck in the 30th percentile since his campaign took off this summer and dropped more than even Rubio did in the course of October. If you’re looking for an argument that he’s plateaued for now, there’s your data.” —wordpress

This is also why if I read his books, I'd be wondering about the narrative quite a bit -- as to what he says happened vs. what might have happened.

Nah. I have no doubt that as a lifetine

hundreds and hundreds of other New
Yorkers for the past 40 years, he did
know a couple hundred who died in
the towers. Were they his friends?
In business, we often call associates

we know. That's what he means.

In any event, neither of the articles you posted supports EvenBob's assertion, not by a longshot. EvenBob said:
In neither article did the press "go nuts" or "say it was over for Trump". The CNN article merely reported the results of the poll. It used such hyperbolic language as:Quote: EvenBobRemember how the press went nuts over this one poll and said it was over for Trump?
"A CBS/New York Times poll released last week also found Carson ahead of Trump, knocking the real estate mogul off the first-place perch for the first time in months."
That's not even close to "going nuts" or "say[ing] it was over for Trump".
Your second "source" is a WordPress blog. Seriously, that counts as "the press" to you?!
And even the WordPress blog didn't say it was over for Trump, anyway.
Your sources were this weak, and you still felt a need to insult me for supposedly not knowing how to use search engines? Let me repeat: You can't find something in a search engine that's not there. That's why when EvenBob et al propose something contrary to reality, I ask the *poster* for evidence, knowing full well that there isn't any. It's certainly not my fault that such non-existent evidence can't be found in the search engines. And if you or others insist that such evidence does indeed exist, then the onus is on you to present it. In this instance, all you've got is a CNN article that doesn't support what EvenBob said, and a WordPress blog (!) which disqualifies itself automatically. In other words, you've got nothing.
Are you just looking for a fight there buddy? Sounded like it to me. It is an election, they happen all the time, some big some small.

Requesting cites while not offering any generates responses, whether they agree with the pronounced viewpoint or not. Repeatedly doing so, and comping mostly from one political view, merits repeated responses.Quote: MichaelBluejayYou think you might try to make your arguments without the insults?

Quote:- FEBRUARY 18, 2016 -
DONALD J. TRUMP RESPONSE TO THE POPE
If and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS, which as everyone knows is ISIS’s ultimate trophy, I can promise you that the Pope would have only wished and prayed that Donald Trump would have been President because this would not have happened. ISIS would have been eradicated unlike what is happening now with our all talk, no action politicians.
The Mexican government and its leadership has made many disparaging remarks about me to the Pope, because they want to continue to rip off the United States, both on trade and at the border, and they understand I am totally wise to them. The Pope only heard one side of the story - he didn’t see the crime, the drug trafficking and the negative economic impact the current policies have on the United States. He doesn’t see how Mexican leadership is outsmarting President Obama and our leadership in every aspect of negotiation.
For a religious leader to question a person’s faith is disgraceful. I am proud to be a Christian and as President I will not allow Christianity to be consistently attacked and weakened, unlike what is happening now, with our current President. No leader, especially a religious leader, should have the right to question another man’s religion or faith. They are using the Pope as a pawn and they should be ashamed of themselves for doing so, especially when so many lives are involved and when illegal immigration is so rampant.
As always, it's the Mexicans' fault!
Quote: ams288Move over Megyn Kelly, Donald Trump has a new mortal enemy: the Pope!

I wonder when the pope is going to tear
down the wall around the Vatican. It's
there to keep everybody out, just like
the wall he doesn't like on our border.
Just another religious hypocrite.
Quote: ams288Move over Megyn Kelly, Donald Trump has a new mortal enemy: the Pope!

The Pope is right regarding Trump
I would actually take it a step further
Many conservative so called christians in my view are not really christians as taught by Jesus
Jesus taught love and forgiveness
Many so called conservative christians instead teach the opposite, hate and discrimination.
Finished grinding already? Got to be the fastest in the business.Quote: EvenBobI wonder when the pope is going to tear down the wall around the Vatican. It's there to keep everybody out, just like the wall he doesn't like on our border. Just another religious hypocrite.
Like I said, I can't cite what doesn't exist. For that matter, neither can you. Which is the point.Quote: SanchoPanzaRequesting cites while not offering any...
Whatever. The bottom line is, to support EvenBob's assertion that "the press went nuts", "say[ing] it was over for Trump", you cited a blog post (as though that counts as "the press") and a CNN article that did *not* support EvenBob's statement. In other words, you've got nothing. Trying to insult me doesn't change the fact that neither of you has any actual evidence.Quote: SanchoPanzaWe can understand that differences in perspectives, viewpoints and opinions are difficult to consume, not to mention appreciate.

No, that's not what happened. People who were
backstage say she sat in a chair for 5 min because
she was dizzy and disoriented. One of the top
neuro doctors in the country says she has all the
indications of problems from the concussion she
got in 2012. The dizzy spells, the prism glasses
she wears a lot because she has double vision, the
confusion she sometimes exhibits behind the scenes.
She's a medical basket case.

How do you 'waste' something the power
company wants you to use as much as you
can of? I pay for it, I can use it any way I
wish. I have four lights in my house that
have been on 24/7 for 20 years. I eat meat
every day because it's good for you, tastes
great, and my teeth are designed for it. I'm
having chicken tacos for dinner, yum.
Quote:Oh, and here's the video of Hillary barking again!
Here it is, the most requested video of the
week, the gift from Hillary that keeps on
giving. (there's one that is looped so
she's barking for 5min. Though hilarious,
it's overkill, I think.)
Seeing as how you insist on putting words into people's mouths, let me clarify errors here. Stupid? Maybe or maybe not. Lazy? Repeatedly. As shown by the apparent failure to view the Zeleny video before it was pulled. That was in addition to CNN's failure to reflect the content of the video in the accompanying text. That was the purpose of not even excerpting the useless text and trying to send readers directly to the video. The expectation was that innate curiosity would inspire viewing the video. Especially before CNN pulled it or censored it just after the discussion began here.Quote: MichaelBluejaySanchoPanza: Liberals are too stupid to use search engines.

It is pretty funny...as was the incredible amount of pandering during that town hall thing last night. They were trying to out pander each other, but watching for a bit actually did give me a better idea of each of their positions on some issues. Both of them want to spend all of those damn rich people's money but we all should know that once they get some from them, they will get some from all of us in the middle class, too. You can support them if you wish, just know that their money grab won't end with those evil rich folks.

Hey, I used to burn a case of foam takeouts on "Earth Day" every year just because I could. Open burning was legal where I lived and the case was under $10.00. My right and the black smoke was cool.
Anyone familiar with the psychic who predicted Barrack Obama would be the last US President? Interesting, but whatever.
1. Remember the Gore/Bush election year?
2. Supreme Court is currently only with 8 members.
Yup, add 1 and 2 together -- part of a perfect storm situation if a ruling is needed.
Brokered conventions, third party runs. ...etc.,
Hmm. Just sayin'. Something to think about.

The President has the most important job in the world. His time is valuable
People that want to be President have no job they are currently doing.
Those that have jobs have abandoned them. Take Marco Rubio, the guy is hardly ever present for votes.
Cruz, his job is in DC but of course he is not in DC. Is Kasich in his state governing, of course not.
People that want to be President have tons of time on their hands and yet they cant make the time to attend a BS overpriced funeral that accomplishes nothing.
If Justice Scalia were black/African American Obama would've been present. Americas first/black racist President and, SOO! many live in fear of this covert Muslim -- I'm not stymied by political correctness.
