Donald Trump dominates in new CNN poll
In both Iowa and New Hampshire, NBC notes Trump is disliked by a almost 2:1 margin, demonstrating his campaign may not have many potential supporters left to peel off from the other Republican competitors.
“There’s a market in my party for people if you say that [President] Obama’s not born in America – that he’s actually born in Kenya – there are people who want to believe that”, he said. One rival has called his candidacy a “cancer”. Trump is the only big-name candidate who can truly claim the coveted mantle of the “outsider”.
NBC’s First Read asked if this was a “tipping point”. I do like that about him. “This exceeds me”, Trump said on CNN’s “State of the Union“, saying the poll outcome was no wonder. “And now they’re starting to view me not as an outsider, because I’m leading in all the polls, not just” CNN’s Trump told Jake Tapper.
“I like that he will speak his mind and is not swayed by others”, Breuklander, 40, said.
A hawkish Republican lawmaker, Graham said that Trump is “bankrupt” when it comes to being qualified to be commander-in-chief after remarks questioning Sen. “John McCain“, Clinton said at the fundraiser. “Choose your pot”. The inclusion of all registered voters, as opposed to likely voters, may have aided Trump since he has better name recognition than most other candidates.
Among those taking to the airwaves on Sunday morning were former Texas governor Rick Perry and Sen.
Just because he has a new smartphone though doesn’t mean Graham is quite ready to fully join the 21st Century quite yet. I’m taking on an idea of that I think he’s appealing to the dark side of American politics. “He is not offering solutions to hard, complicated problems, and he’s basically selling fear and prejudice”.
Though Trump leads the GOP field in the latest polls, his favorable numbers among the broad electorate are low, and especially low among Latinos.
Notably, Clinton’s fav/unfav score in Iowa among all registered voters mirrors what a recent Quinnipiac poll of the state found.
“If you gang up on Donald Trump, then obviously you’re going to have sympathy for him“, McCain said at this weekend’s Aspen Institute panel, adding that a Trump third party run, which the real estate mogul has threatened, would be “incredibly damaging” to the eventual Republican nominee. Ganging up on Trump would backfire, McCain said, and candidates should simply ignore him and get their message out. In fact, a meltdown that would permanently damage another candidate might only reinforce support for Trump among his voters.
We have some very serious issues facing this country that are going to take a steely-eyed, proven, tough leader to overcome.
But no matter what he says about Trump, the ongoing spat between the two may be paying dividends for the former Texas governor.
Trump also hit one Republican primary challenger, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.
“My concern is that I want to reach out to new people, go places that no Republican has been going”. I’ve been to Ferguson [Mo.].
