Geez remember how all the talking heads were saying Trump's comments on McCain would sink his ship. That's how propaganda works you know. It's basically an attempt ay mind control. Democrats and Republicans alike pushed it.





But....as it turns out Donald Trump is crushing everyone in New Hampshire

Real-estate magnate Donald Trump has opened up a 2-to-1 lead over his closest competition in the key, first-in-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire, according to a new poll from Monmouth University released Tuesday.

Trump grabs 24% of the vote, compared with 12% for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. Newcomer and Ohio Gov. John Kasich has already jumped into a third-place tie with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker at 7%.

The poll is evidence that the controversy that surrounded Trump last week — when he questioned Sen. John McCain's (R-Arizona) military record — has not hurt his standing with Granite State voters. The Monmouth poll was the first to be conducted in the state entirely after those comments.

If nothing else this shows how wildly out of touch with the people establishment pols are.

Too funny!​

 

[as seen on tv]

i continue to believe that trump won't make it the final 4. he's one dimensional, and his rhetoric clearly indicates that his campaign is more about promotiong the "trump brand" (casinos, hotels, tv shows) than governing the nation responsibly.

If anyone liked McCain, he would have beaten an unknown senator from Illinois when he ran for President. So, if the same things were said about another vet, perhaps... it would have been more meaningful. But, despite his valor and service, he has spent the last 40 years being a supreme AZZHOLE. And, the reality is that the Viet Nam generation - is dying off and many of us who had those folks as parents - lived through their alcohol and drug abuse, poor employment history, lack of stable homelife - unwed parenting, multiple marriages, bad partner choices, and as many of my friends are finding out..... now having to take care of them in their older years, because of their poor health ( drinking and smoking do that to you), their lack of financial preparation ( running up debt and not having a consistent work history do that to you) and quite honestly, they aren't sympathetic about it.

But, you are exactly right. It was a meme that anti-Trumpers wanted to push.....and tried.. and in the end no one actually cared.

If you think it's the case I'm rooting for him you're mistaken..

I was just commenting on how politicians and political pundits work. They've taken a page from Alinsky's book. Isolate, ridicule and attack. Hoping the target will apologize, cave in, withdraw, whatever, while also trying to poison the target in the public's eye.

It ain't working, not by a long shot is it working, and it's fun to watch, not to mention hearing establishment Republican pigs squealing.

Boehner and McConnell ran their campaigns on pulling in the reigns on Obama and the first thing they did when elected was give him everything he wanted. Deceitful liars in so any words.

Just this week Ted Cruz called McConnell out for lying in front of 54 witnesses, which he did, and who get's attacked....Cruz!

For what it's worth, this new poll ought to at least send the message that their political base is fed up and beginning to ask why the hell is there a Republican Party?

I believe there are even moderate democrats who are sick and tired of a broken government and the lies. Most likely they wouldn't vote for a Trump and I'd have to think hard on it myself, but I'm convinced there are people across the spectrum who are at least attracted to someone shaking up the system.
