Don't try to pull a "fast one" pal. I didn't post National polling. I posted latest poll on the New Hampshire GOP candidates.

Not staying in NH, mouthing the F word, I mean, it is Sad, and appears he doesn't want the nomination, Now.

I think he entered the race mostly as a lark. Then along the way he got addicted to the headiness of the media attention and the adulation of the rally crowds, began to think he could easily walk away the big winner.
Iowa and reality happened and now he's over it. Self-awareness isn't his strong suit so he can't think clearly enough to make a solid decision about where to go from here on out.
Yes, he's trying to sabotage the whole thing but right now it's still an unconscious process.

He acknowledged Tuesday that may have backfired. "I think some people were disappointed that I didn't go into the debate," Trump said in New Hampshire.

I personally believe Trump made a mistake by skipping the debate. This and Palin endorsement would be the last straw for me. This being said, I am still undecided.

If it is Hillary vs Trump, that would be an easy choice for me. I would go with Mr. Trump.

Either way, he's slipping. He doesn't have the temperament to run for president, much less be one.
The rest of the world hopes you're right.

Thanks for the Laugher.
That is actually called "consistency" rather than one day I wake up and hate Trump and the next day wake up and love him. I am just not fickled. I pick a winner and stick with them!

Trump 28%

Rubio 17%.

Cruz 14%
I'm guessing by this point, you realize not many here are concerned about this.

Rubio couldn't beat his way out of a paper bag unless he had a puppet master there directing him on what moves to make!

"HUGE" puppet. I don't think the man has ever had a thought of his own not to mention a traitor to Bush. I bet he will regret that in the future.

Given the choice between Rubio and Clinton, I vote Clinton. A bitter pill to swallow but the better of the two.

Agree on Hillary vs Trump, definitely Trump gets my vote. I have a definite path, 1st choice is Trump and would be Carson if he were doing better, next would be Sanders if he would get the nomination. Hillary against Rubio or Cruz and Hillary gets my vote.

This is absurd. Can anyone else remember a presidential election where a candidate was written off for coming in second in the very first state to vote? Based on the demographics, Trump was never expected to win Iowa. It was only a couple of days before the caucus that the media started blaring these polls of him up a few points. Everyone was surprised by that, so it gave Trump supporters hope, but no one ever said Iowa was a lock for him and even if it was, that is no precedent for becoming the nominee.

Kapha - the Trump haters do not see the logic of a first time candidate coming in 2nd in front of established career politicians as nothing to sneeze at. They're so wrapped up in the hate Trump fest that they don't think. Don't try to talk sense to them because it's hidden behind anger directed at a guy who never did anything to them.

Best to ignore the extremists, of which there are many, and have a good discussion with the few who although they dislike Trump can discuss without acting like a child.

The media is portraying Trump In a bad light. They could have praised Trump for going after Cruz because Cruz cheated to get more votes. But the media wants to take Trump down since the beginning.

Trump will be ground down by the negative slant and if WE THE PEOPLE IGNORE it and realize they want Bush, or puppet boy Rubio we will win.. They will try every day to keep the wheels of corruption going and pick there winners and losers. The corruption is deep and Trump knows it and they are afraid of him.

What does Any of that...have to do with my point, that Trump is not acting like an aggressive candidate?
