Donald Trump takes major lead in new poll

A recent CNN national poll has Trump leading in every single category with 36 percent of registered Republicans and Republican-leaning independents supporting the billionaire candidate. “When you go back to 2012, it’s 12.2 percent”.

“Of course they would pick a place that people are unarmed and can’t defend themselves”, Tyler said. That’s why Matt Bevin is now the governor of Kentucky when all the polls had him losing. If those who haven’t previously voted but are showing enthusiasm for Bernie Sanders turn out to vote, there could be a big victory for Sanders.

Meanwhile, a whopping 47 percent of all GOP voters think the government should move on a plan advocated by Trump to deport some 11 million immigrants. There’s evidence, for example, that some New Hampshire voters wait to see how the Iowa caucuses turn out before they decide. It is hard to gauge their reliability.

And lastly, there is the matter of passion. Campaigns are a learning process for candidates and voters alike; most voters are still pondering what kind of president should succeed Barack Obama.

Cruz, who recently has been climbing in presidential polls, also said he would make scrapping the nuclear deal the first order of business after assuming office following the next November’s White House vote.

An unnamed Israeli official quoted by The Jerusalem Post said that Netanyahu will meet with Trump during his visit as part of Netanyahu’s policy of meeting all major presidential candidates.

A few months is a long time in American politics, although for now it appears that either Trump, Carson, Rubio or Cruz will take the Republican nomination.

Sen. Marco Rubio knocked legislation aimed at keeping guns from terrorists and felons just days after the latest mass slaughter in California, arguing it would do little to stop mass shootings.

I’m going to take a leap and say that “minds made up” correlate with passion.

More generally, about 4 in 10 Republicans surveyed said Trump is the most effective candidate to solve the problems of the United States, according to CNN. No other candidate garnered more than 4 percent support.

Trump told The Associated Press on Wednesday he has “a real question as to whether or not both sides want to make” Mideast peace. He may be even higher.

One reporter apparently thought there was nothing outwardly amiss with Farook and Malik, and challenged Trump to explain his position. A headline accompanying an article about Trump’s appearance read “Trump courts Republican Jews with offensive stereotypes”.
