The Future President, Donald Trump

A robot would suffice.

he's always been a country boy at heart

Here's a link to a University of New Hampshire poll, three days old, showing voter certainty levels both before and after the Iowa Caucus.

For Republicans who say they plan to vote in the New Hampshire primary (6.8% margin of error) polled after Iowa:

Definitely decided: 41%

Leaning toward someone: 25%

Still trying to decide: 34%


If vote were held today, would vote for:

Trump: 29%

Rubio: 18%


Wouldn't vote for under any circumstances:

Trump: 37%

Rubio: 5%


With 34% undecided and 25% only leaning toward a candidate, that leaves an awful lot of uncertainty among likely Republican primary voters in New Hampshire. So the fact that Trump leads by 11% over Rubio if the vote were held today, doesn't prove a lot, since that type of poll requires respondents to choose among candidates and does not allow "undecided" as a poll response. (It does allow "other" but that means other candidates, perhaps write-ins, or at least more obscure ones).

I was struck by the poll's margins of error: over 6%.
That, to me, makes this poll meaningless.

34% still trying to decide is too huge to consider it concluded.

They tried that with Gee Dubbya.

They handed him the wrong speech, remember?

He just read it anyways.

Not available in this nation.

Trump Donald!

(go ahead! Trump him)

We had a site called slap a pollie. Seems like it's been hacked.

You could slap one of our "leaders" clear off the stage mid-speech.

It was popular.

what fun!

Only in (republican) Murika?


Begs the question; who's going to do the checking? The TSA?>

I'd just been reading about that.

It's the new level of classic Republican craziness.

I often wonder why my siblings are republicans.

It's almost as if Trump is setting the standard for over-the-top, and the rest are thinking; "how can we out-trump, the Trump?

I often wonder why we need to label eachother. People actually register themselves as left or right in the US. Like it's a team effort, or something.

Australia's parliament has been "hung" for the last four terms, meaning the balance of power is in the hands of several independent senators. The two majors are teaming up to quietly remove the possibility of this remaining the status quo, but the people aren't letting that happen.

I've thought about this question of how people in the same families can come away with quite different views of how political structure affects them, but then I think our views on other people are even more confounding when they are so foreign to our sisters and sons etc.

One person thinks - those people need more opportunity. That person's brother thinks - those people are a drag on society.

Where did they diverge? I often wonder.

I want one!!

I read the original bill and didn't see anything about checking. I would assume that they were talking about a sign or something.
