New NBC Poll – Trump is Number 2, Trump is Number 2, Carson Leads All

Donald Trump must be pulling his weave out right about now. In a new NBC poll, Trump is no longer the leader as Republicans are slowly coming to their senses. They are now choosing Ben Carson as the Republican standard-bearer for their party’s march into the presidential election… so much for coming to their senses.

The new poll conducted between October 25 to October 29, finds that among the Republican candidates for president, 29% prefer Ben Carson as their party presidential nominee. The Trump comes in second with 23%, followed by Marco Rubio at 11% and Canadian born Ted Cruz at 10%. The Republican establishment candidate of choice, Jeb Bush, comes in at a measly 8%.

The other candidates are not worth mentioning.

White House Hits Christie – His Poll Numbers “are closer to an asterisk”

Chris Christie has a BIG mouth, but he might have bitten off more than he can chew here.

Christie has been busy lately trying to climb out of the poll-hole his campaign started in, and he figured attacking the President would get him out of that hole. But I’m not sure Christie expected the President and the White House to fight back!

Christie’s attack on the president says that Mr. Obama is responsible for whatever anti-police sentiments in America today. Yes, that attack plays good with the Republican base that hates everything Obama, but it is not based in reality. In an interview on MSNBC, Christie said, “We have liberal policies that tie the hands behind the backs of police officers and then when incidents happen, accuse them of misconduct first and then do the investigation later,” Christie said Monday. “And you’ve got a president of the United States who does not support law enforcement. Simply doesn’t.”

But the White House shot back.

Press secretary Josh Earnest called Christie’s claim that Obama does not support police “particularly irresponsible,” suggesting it’s an attempt to “turn around” his struggling presidential campaign.

“They’re not surprising for somebody whose poll numbers are closer to an asterisk than they are double digits,” Earnest said.

GOP Presidential Crybabies Have a List of Demands for Future GOP Debates

The questions in the last Republican presidential debate were apparently to hard for the bunch of Republicans wanting to occupy the most powerful office on earth, and those “gotcha” questions? Those questions must go! They cannot be asked because the people wanting to be president are incapable of thinking on their feet.

So the group held a meeting and came up with a list of demands for future networks wanting to ask them questions.

The Republican presidential candidates have finalized a long list of demands and questions for networks hosting debates going forward, according to a copy of a letter obtain by the Washington Post.

In the letter, the candidates demanded that networks communicate with candidates directly (as opposed to the Republican National Committee) and that the networks hold a conference call with candidates about the debate format at least a month before the debate. The candidates would then be able to determine whether they wish to participate in the debate.

The campaigns demanded that the debates include 30-second opening and closing statements, and asked that the networks nix lightning rounds and submit graphics with biographical details about the candidates to the campaigns for approval. The candidates also asked that the moderators ask the same number of questions to each candidate and refrain from “gotcha” questions.

The letter obtained by the Post also includes a long list of questions the campaigns would need the networks to answer. The questions cover who the moderators are, how long the debate is, and who will qualify for the debate. They also list things that networks should not include like “candidate-to-candidate questioning,” “reaction shots of members of the audience or moderators during debates,” and “behind shots of the candidates showing their notes.”

Jeb Bush Pushed His New Book in Florida Campaign Speech – Video

In a brand spanking new campaign speech in Tampa Florida, well-known Republican establishment candidate Jeb Bush, relaunched his failing presidential campaign with a brand new slogan – #JebCanFixIt! But before diving into ways he can fix it, (sidenote – Jeb did not say how he will fix anything), Jeb spent some quality time pushing his new book.

“Last year, I decided I wanted to share my story with people across the country, so I wrote a book. Well really I didn’t write it, not in the traditional sense, I emailed it!” Jeb said, as he talked about some of the emails he received including one about a raccoon in an elderly woman’s attic. Jeb made a call for the woman and he sent someone to remove the raccoon. Jeb bragged that “by noon, that raccoon was out!”

Jeb fixed the woman’s raccoon problem. But back to the book or as Jeb called it, his “shameless plug.”

“The book is called Reply All, it’s out today you can get it on Amazon.com, it’s pretty cheap. I hope you enjoy it. Going back and rereading these emails reminded me of the challenges we tackled together and how much can be accomplished with strong conservative leadership. That is why I’m running for the presidency of the United States of America.”

Pause for applause.

Carly Fiorian is Heading Back to ‘The View’ After Hosts Called Her Smile “demented”

Now she is obviously not Donald Trump or Ben Carson so there will be little media coverage, but ever since a co-host of The View said Carly’s smile looked “demented,” Carly has used the incident to politic and to appeal to those sympathetic to her failing presidential bid. Yesterday Carly told Fox News that if the ladies of The View has something to say about her looks, they should “say that to my face!”

“If I come back on again,”she told Fox News, “let’s see if they have the guts to say that to my face.”

Well it seems that the ladies of The View will get the chance to do just that. Carly told Fox that she will make another appearance on the television talk show.

“I will face the ladies of The View for the second time Friday…” she announced, saying that she wasn’t going to seek an apology. “My message to the ladies of The View is man up. If you want to debate me on policies, the Obama administration for example has been bad for women, Planned Parenthood is harvesting baby parts– if you don’t like those facts or those messages, man up and debate me on them. But don’t sink to talking about my face.”

Carly’s poll numbers are lingering in the single digits, so the object here is to milk this for all the publicity possible. You can bet this appearance will be used in an upcoming Carly ad against what she see as attacks from “the liberal media!”
