My God, what the hell happened to Rubio, Walker and Paul? You really need to reevaluate your life when you are far behind Mike "The Oven" Huckabee.

One America News Network commissioned Gravis to do the poll. That network is like a Fox News alternative but it only came about in 2013 so most cable companies, like mine, don't carry it. I think Dish carries it.

Every single poll has Trump far ahead with his lead increasing over the last poll.

Every single one.

I was just anticipating the question like "What the bleep is Gravis?" I had never heard of the network One America (who paid Gravis to do the poll) so I checked my cable company's website and see people are asking for it in their forum but they don't carry it yet. I'm intrigued that they are a Fox News alternative.

Carson is a quiet candidate who says and does nothing - yet he is #2.

Glad that Walker is nowhere near the top. The guy has creepy face.

Hope Ted Cruz will go down the drain soon too. He's already gearing up to use the next government fiscal voting session as hostage to his new pet cause, defunding Planned Parenthood. It was Obamacare that he took hostage the last time he shut down the government. The guy is absolutely a genius for picking the wrong pet cause to root for - with no thought of financial repercussions to the regular Joes.
