Major desperation and I mean MAJOR on Wall Street. They are losing control. I puke as the lower level politico hacks are paraded in front of the TV cameras as they give their meaningless endorsements to the Establishment candidates that will keep the payola going in their direction. Every four years I have the opportunity to witness how throughly corrupt our government and financial entities have become as they work together to fleece American working families

It's a network poll. It's going to get more airplay than one done by university students

The thing about Trump that makes him so unique in political history is that he had no problem bringing the dirty laundry out in public. Without apology he exposes all of the dirty workings of government.

But actually it is a poll done by two hired hacks for the two political parties. They earn their living but doing what they are told by the Establishment.

If they were doing any and everything they would make two of the three establishment candidates drop out. That alone is a sign they control the election less than you seem to think.

The Establishment has its own factions. My guess is that Murdoch would be happy with Rubio or Bush. They'll go after Cruz if they can get Trump out because Trump is a HUGE problem.

I know what you mean! When I see one after another endorsing Rubio or Bush; Lindsey Graham, Trey Gowdy, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott my heart drops each time, it's so disappointing. These are people who I thought had a strong voice within the Republican party, but they are complete shams.
