New Reuters poll

Trump - 37%
Cruz - 11%
Rubio - 10%
Carson - 9%
Bush - 6%

Carson is definitely over.

 

[N.Domixis]

it begends...

 

[Chance Hale]

Well, at least people are catching onto the fact that Carson is insane and makes no sense so hopefully that works its way back to Trump eventually.

The legin of Trump

 

[Hellwarden]

I look forward the construction of Mount Trumpmore.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

this is surely because of trumps live belt stabbing demonstration

 

[Any Questions]

Trump consumes alright

 

[Kusagari]

The Paris attacks were the best thing possible for his campaign.

The conservative base is eating his rhetoric up.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Trump consumes alright

normally pays for that privilege

 

[Makai]

If you constrain the Reuters poll by likely voters, Cruz has 21%. I bet he's the next multi-month flavor, not Rubio.

 

[Zaptruder]

Might as well just call it there. Short of a miracle, no one is getting one up on Trump on the republican side.

 

[Saya]

What happened to Carson?

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

Iowa is only 8 weeks away. I think if Trump was going to have his campaign-sinking moment we would have seen it or at least the makings of it by now. I don't see any scenario in which Trump or Cruz do not become the nominees. To a rational person Kasich or Rubio might seem like more electable choices but I think the GOP is burnt out on placing their faith in the "electable" option.

Is there a link? I'm having trouble finding this.

 

[Malygos]

Can't wait for president Trump.

Yeah, every week that goes by where polling stays like this, the chances of him winning the nomination goes up. The convention could be fucking hilarious.

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

I'm ready for President Trump

 

[FZZ]

Primaries are sure gonna be interesting

Americans, you scare me.

So if Rubio, Carson, and Bush all withdraw from the race and all their supporters switch to Cruz then that puts it at 36% Cruz and 37% Trump.

Not bad odds, but I can't imagine that many people would withdraw from the race in the next couple of months.

We're getting to the point where even if the GOP could force candidates to end their campaign, it still wouldn't rally enough people behind an establishment candidate.

Why do you say "not bad odds" that all supporters would go to Cruz? I could say its not bad odds that 30% go to Trump. Trump's bump looks like its directly connected with Carson's drop.

I think it's ultimately going to come down to Rubio vs. Trump or Rubio vs. Cruz. The establishment isn't going to unite behind Cruz; he may be the one guy they dislike more than Trump. The only guys I could see the GOP putting their full support behind are Kasich, Christie, Bush or Rubio.

 

[KingSnake]

Trump going full fascist capturing all the nuts is not surprising.

 

[Switch Back 9]

What happened to Carson?

My guess is that while Trump is clearly an evil arsehole, Carson was legitimately insane and people started to catch on.

 

[Yen]

It's been fun watching Trump get progressively crazier but surely there comes a time when even his supporters think he's gone too far, right?

Carson supporters are largely anti-establishment. They won't all go to Cruz or Rubio. Most Will go to Trump.

 

[zugzug]

Its sorta odd, I like a couple things Kasich says so I'd like him to be a Vp candidate even if I'd never vote for him as prez.

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

Given that his supporters are waiting for him to say, verbatim, "This country is for white people and I intend to keep it that way"... I doubt it.

I wonder if Creflo Dollar is among them.

Yes.

 

[Acerac]

Carson didn't ever seem like he realistically stood a chance.

...granted, neither did Trump.

 

[Premium Quality]

I really hope Cruz has no chance. With Trump, I know his ideas will go nowhere if he is elected. Cruz scares me if he wins and has congress on his back.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

There needs to be some rules put in place with these poll threads.

 

[watershed]

I feel like Donald Trump has gone from being a cancer on the republican party to being a cancer on our entire society. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[ArjanN]

My guess is that while Trump is clearly an evil arsehole, Carson was legitimately insane and people started to catch on.

I figured it's more that Carson is relatively boring compared to the circus act Trump is putting on.

 

[Angelus Errare]

What happened to Carson?

He put his campaign on hold to promote his book.

 

[Machina]

Carson didn't ever seem like he realistically stood a chance.

...granted, neither did Trump.

if we're talking the election itself, Trump DOESN'T have a chance. If anything, this is a hilarious popcorn show for anyone who hates Republicans.

 

[Hexa]

That's my prez!

The Hillary vs Trump debates will be glorious. It'll be Hillary responding in a completely logical coherent manner but half the time getting steam rolled by completely unpredictable nonsense somehow.

 

[Sojgat]

People are going to realise this isn't funny at some point, right?

 

[Machina]

People are going to realise this isn't funny at some point, right?

Has the rest of America realized the deep south isn't funny anymore?

 

[Meadows]

I've followed every Repub nomination race since '04, but I haven't been looking into this one.

What the fuck is wrong with you people.

For minorities, it's a daily reminder about how many Americans really feel about them.

Of course people who hate government will do whatever they can to destroy it.

For minorities, it's a daily reminder about how many Americans really feel about them.

There has been plenty going on to make that perfectly clear to them without Trump's bile.

 

[Kysen]

What happened to Carson?

Opened his mouth one too many times. Saying stupid shit only gets you so far for so long.
