Ben Carson almost Ties with Frontrunner Trump Nationally Among Likely GOP
“We’ve got great numbers, 38 to 12”. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump begged at a Tuesday rally in Sioux City, Iowa.
Then comes the big show: The 10 GOP “frontrunners” with Ben Carson and Donald Trump at midstage. “While that’s within the margin of error, it still shows that Carson is closing in on the former reality television star”, MSNBC reported. Hes a thinker. He can articulate common sense very well.
“The poll does carry an important caveat, however: 70% of respondents said they had not settled on a choice yet. I’ll tell ya, if I was a woman I don’t want to”.
To Mr. Opincar, Mr. Cruz and Mr. Rubio had the best nights.
Republicans divide on whether they could support a candidate who disagreed with them on abortion, immigration, and the federal budget. Clinton also helped herself with her strong appearance before the House Select Committee on Benghazi and a crisp debate performance the previous week.
“They don’t have to put on makeup”, he said. And for whatever reason, they arent.
Timothy Lane, a lieutenant in the Scott County Sheriffs Office, said if the vote were held tomorrow, he would choose Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, who espoused deep tax cuts for companies and individuals in the undercard debate. Mr. Lane called the governor a true conservative.

Trump is despicable in many ways, but his actual political views seem to be fluid, depending on the audience and the situation, and my guess is that he would cause a lot less damage than the other two guys.
“If he goes after him with the ferocity that he goes after [Jeb] Bush or that he went after Rand Paul at the beginning of the last debate I think that would probably hurt him”, said Michael Cornfield, assistant professor of political science at George Washington University and co-head of the PEORIA Project, which tracks how voters react to campaign messages. “Those are the people who will turn out in GOP primaries”, West said.
Jeb Bush has had a rough go at raising excitement for his presidential bid.
The jumbled GOP field is a stark contrast to the Democratic contest, where Hillary Rodham Clinton is strengthening her front-runner status over Vermont Sen.
“We’re not as different as people think”, Trump said on October 20.
Tough economic policy questions will provide an opportunity for someone who is adept in that field to shine at the CNBC debate, which will emphasize economic and financial issues, Hassett said.
He also raised questions about Carson’s religious faith and has started to highlight what he says are contradictions in his record and policy positions.
With a well-funded super PAC standing by, Bush doesn’t appear to be on the brink of a campaign collapse, even if he performs poorly in the debate.
But Mark Olson, a farmer in Wallingford, in northwest Iowa, came away from the debate without thinking any of the candidates had disqualified themselves. “You can call it visas, you can call it work permits, you can call it anything you want”, he said.
Mark Casey, a registered independent, pressed the candidate on how he would deal with world leaders. Former Virginia governor Jim Gilmore did not qualify for the earlier debate because he is below one percent in the polls.
