Back on topic, please.

Donald Trump is falling to Ben Carlson. Ben.Carlson. Why in the world would people who had so much trouble with President Obama's race vote for Ben,Carson? Trump is losing more 25 - 35 year old males than any other segment of his original base.

This has to be a relief. For Donald.Trump.

So when are you going to let yourself in on that deduction?

Get back on the topic, sparky.

Trump is 18%(from 35%) to Ben Carson's 25% (from 18%). Care to explain this turn of event?

New polls that ask different questions to different people?

@McGentrix,

This was a Monmouth University Poll and they seem to to be pretty honest and sincere. I saw a report on Rachel Madow as well as on Shep Smiths afternoon show yesterday. When both Fox and MSNBC are reporting it .... what can I say??

Just answering your question.

@McGentrix,

Perhaps these questions are new AND improved. One thing is certain- we each should have something important to vote on. Worst that'll happen? I'll cancel out all your Tea Party choices.

It was a lazy answer by someone who doesn't understand what polling entails, all polls, if conducted properly, ask different people which is why two are never identical. However they're all in the same ballpark. The new poll could be a blip, or it could represent a shift in public opinion. Anyone who describes a million dollar loan as small has no idea what ordinary people go through, and is typical of an elitist.

Mr. Trump is cool with polls, so let's just go with it.

Reacting to the latest polls and commenting on his tendency to play up positive results and dismiss negative ones, Trump said that he generally believes in polls, having studied polling while a student at the Wharton School of Business.

“Well, I think you have to understand polls, and when I was at school, when I was at Wharton, we actually had a case on polls. We had a one-month study on polls. I believe in polls. I generally believe in polls. The thing with these polls, they’re all so different,” Trump explained.

“They are coming from all over the lot where one guy is up here, somebody else is up there, you see swings of 10 and 12 points and immediately, even the same day. So right now it’s not very scientific. I think it’s very hard when you have this many. But overall … I’m a believer in polls. I think they say something. At least they spot a trend.”

Does Carson have a pulse?

@farmerman,

I've heard he might be Asperger's. His wife is interesting, too. Seems almost "Stepford" nice.

Said as if there might be something wrong with this. Let people form the relationships they want so long as their is no abuse. What other people want, what they do is none of you business so long as they dont trespass on your rights.

You must of been one of those bad conservatives who is always trying to run other peoples lives, there used to be quite a few.

Although Candy has remained in the background, her story, like his, is a tale of excelling despite tough childhood circumstances. She was one of five siblings in inner-city Detroit, daughter of a teacher and a factory worker, and, in her words, "grew up poor." Yet she studied classical violin and won a scholarship to Yale University, where she triple-majored in music, psychology and pre-med and played in the Yale Symphony Orchestra and the Bach Society.

You've read too much into it. You overthink the darnedest things.

@ehBeth,

She seems a genuinely nice person. I wonder what terrible thing Hawkeye will twist that into.

She was featured on a small piece of TRM show last night. Maybe she should be President.

Is this going to be a regular thing now? I'm glad you are sweet on me, but just so it's out there, I don't swing that way. I mean I'm flattered, but I don't really need nor want your attention.

@ehBeth,

I'm thinking his one month studying polls at Wharton might be equivalent to his military experience of being shipped off to some military school.
