Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has long dominated the headlines and the polls. But two new polls show his once commanding lead in Iowa has slipped away and he may be trailing Texas Senator Ted Cruz.
One poll released by Fox News and another by Monmouth University claim Cruz has taken the lead position among likely voters just weeks before the Iowa caucuses. Fox News has Cruz ahead by 3 points in Iowa, where Monmouth pollsters say the lead is closer to 5 points.
The news has gotten Trump’s attention, and over the weekend he finally unleashed a verbal assault on Cruz, a rival he had so far spared.
At a town hall event in Iowa Friday evening, Trump accused the Texas senator of being beholden to big oil companies because Cruz opposes ethanol subsidies, which are deeply popular in Iowa.
“He’s a nice guy. I mean, everything I say he agrees with me, no matter what I say,” Trump began. “But with the ethanol, really, he’s got to come a long way.”
He added: “If Ted Cruz is against ethanol, how does he win in Iowa? Because that’s very anti-Iowa.”
Trump also appeared to take a veiled shot at Cruz’s family background, suggesting Cruz might have trouble appealing to the state’s evangelical voters. “I do like Ted Cruz, but not a lot of evangelicals come out of Cuba,” he said of the country where Cruz’s father, an evangelical preacher, was born.
The attacks came after The New York Times reported that Cruz had questioned Trump’s judgment at a closed-door fundraiser, straining the rare detente between two of the race’s most outspoken candidates. Trump has gone after his other opponents gleefully and viciously, panning Jeb Bush as low-energy, Ben Carson as “pathological” and Marco Rubio as a lightweight who drinks too much water.
But the billionaire businessman had refrained from attacking Cruz, even as the Texas senator has surged in opinion polls, becoming Trump’s most serious challenger in early-voting Iowa.
Cruz’s campaign spokeswoman, Catherine Frazier, declined to comment on Trump’s attacks.
Several attendees at Trump’s town hall event said in interviews before he spoke that they were torn between supporting Trump and Cruz, underscoring the risks each man faces going after the other too strongly.
Indeed, Trump was relatively reserved in his criticism, repeatedly telling the crowd he liked Cruz.
Asked at one point whether he would consider selecting Cruz as his running mate or nominating him to the Supreme Court, Trump was receptive.
“I would say that we would certainly have things in mind for Ted,” he said.

Horn’s poll is actually not much of anything. I have tried for two months to vote for Trump on this poll and it would not accept my vote, not one single time. It always gives me a message that says I have already voted. Doesn’t make sense when my vote has never been accepted on this poll. If a poll doesn’t accept Trump votes how could he be anything but down? Just more of the corruption. Cruz has been in Congress and is part of the failed Republican group that we voted in to stop Obama. What makes anyone think that Cruz will be any more successful as President? Cruz insures more stalemate in DC.

American boy says
Donald is running to fail Republican Party and hand over White House to Hillary Clinton. Thos is not a guess but 100%sure. True Republican is Trd or Rubio or Christie or Jeb. They are established leaders. Rest are like seasonal mushrooms that grow in short season only.
pancho says
How naïve you are. The real candidate is Ted Cruz. Rubio is a joke, a thug with no ethics, and alleged drug cartel connections, a R.I.N.O., who wants to have open borders, and , like Obama, has not one honest bone in his body. Jeb is another buffoon, who wants to embrace illegals, as his wife is a Mexican national. Christie….Ha ha, he is still trying to close the ‘FRIDGE’, and keeps closing the bridge. What a loser.
Ted is honest, upright, man enough to stand for what is right, for all Americans, not just his party, like the libs do, while Trump is more of a thug with cash, but cash does not buy what is needed to run a country.
Connie Engles says
Poncho, Where did you hear that Rubio has ties to Drug Cartel?? Agree with some of what you say, like you, I do like Cruz, always have and have on several instances said Cruz and Trump. Which tells you where I stand on Trump. I like him, I don’t see him as a thug with cash, just a rich man with cash who is a little arrogant about how rich he is, but with Cruz I think they could turn America around. I like the idea of enforcing our immigration laws. I like the idea of a wall. It in all seriousness would solve some of the more serious problems we have with the border (s) including the fact that they have become a national security weakness to our very lives by extreme ISIS radicals. I believe Trump could build a wall that would help in controlling both good immigration and illegals trying to get in illegally. And our biggest threat the terrorist out to do America and Americans harm.
norman says
you said it right ,nothing in your head trump has money he made on the out side of goverment and im sure he aint going to use it to build up the united states with
Myrtle Linder says
Did you ever think that the old experienced will eventually die out and the younger, less experienced will have to take over??? Trumps greatest talent is his spiteful mean tongue and that is really what he is all about.
pancho says
Pam langley could not be more wrong, but if ignorance is bliss, she is one happy ignoramus. Proof? she is against the only one that can make America what it used to be, that being Ted Cruz. Donald could be his vice, presidential choice. Lets put intelligence integrity, courage, and love for America before big bucks. Big bucks can buy a lot, but cannot buy the respect that Ted has earned.

Today pols Trump 41% absolute blow out, i suggest to Trump on twitter that at tonights Las Vegas rally that he give a patriotic message to the nation as the president gave a horrible speech this morning to the america people on keeping us safe here or abroad. His number indicate its time to be presidential.
Mary McReynolds says
Iowa means very little. Think of the other candidates in past years who led there and who did not get any further than that. Use your brains, people.
Ron says
I agree with the comment “Use your brains people”, but if you do you won’t vote for Trump. Do you want a president that will flipently blow off without thinking about what he is saying and then realize when it is too late to take it back? Ted Cruz is a senator who has actually done all of the things conservatives say they want. He has challenged the establishment of both parties and opposed everything Obama has done. He has also kept his word on the promises he has made. He was not a friend of Hillary and Bill Clinton like Trump either. Wake up people. Use your brain when you vote, not just a knee jerk reaction to some political talk. And if Trump decides to run as an Independent it will insure a split vote putting Hillary in.
Dorothy Whalen says
Ted was considered a friend of Donald, and then it seemed there was a conversation between Ted and another, and words were spoken about Donald, that were not complimentary, but to Donalds face, he is all sweetness and light. People should know by now, don’t cross Donald Trump, not only is it deceitful to speak negatively behind ones back, but it also shows, that someone or something can be bought and paid for
John F says
Lots of innuendo and no facts in your comments. Which shows they mean nothing.
Gaffer says
That’s a bit harsh. But this is a discussion only. Believe what you want.
Jay Bell says
I have one disquieting notion about Trump: How do we know that Trump is not working for Hillary? He has been a life-long Democrat and he has always had a friendly relationship with the Clintons (notice that he rarely says anything derogatory about Hillary?) Hillary has a BIG popularity problem that Bill never had and I expect that, early on, the Clintons recognized this and pulled Trump into the mix to guarantee that Hillary will get elected. I call your attention to Trump’s antics as recorded in this 2011 article in the Wall Street Journal. http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2011/12/05/donald-trump-still-weighs-a-third-party-bid/?mod=google_news_blog
I don’t think that Donald Trump is a fascist–but, unfortunately, he talks like one. Here’s an article that explains what one sounds like: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/03/opinion/campaign-stops/is-donald-trump-a-fascist.html?action=click&contentCollection=opinion&module=NextInCollection®ion=Footer&pgtype=article&rref=collection%2Fcolumn%2Fross-douthat&_r=0
He will scare enough of the sheep to the other side of the pen…and into the mouth of “Clinton-Wolf”. Republicans could win if they put up a more moderate, well-spoken, intelligent candidate like Marco Rubio. Both Trump and Cruz are too extreme. Successful politics is about compromise. Rubio has enough conservative credentials to satisfy the right of the party while he has enough sensible proposals to satisfy the business crowd. It is the Republican election to lose—and lose it they will, if they put up someone who cannot unify the party and the people against the real enemy which the the Neo-Liberal international socialists who have overtaken the Democratic Party.
Joy says
Well said!!! Trump is about Trump. He is a bully who denigrates anybody who comes close to beating him in the polls or taking the ‘shine’ off him. He’s thinned skinned and doesn’t have the temperament, sophistication, demeanor or political intelligence it requires to lead this nation. People , please, I understand this country is in dire straits and both parties are at fault. However, listen, listen, to the candidates. Hilary??? really??? Trump?? Ego Maniac!! (Hilary in disguise)!, Carson?, weak on foreign relations, Cruz? Preacher, but has been tried and true, Rubio? well spoken, very knowledgeable, has forecasted events to a ‘T’ regarding foreign relations.
Rubio and Cruz would be my top two choices. I’d vote for Rand Paul before Trump and Rand’s no choice pic.
Dixygal says
Since you are using the media to back up your argument, it is obvious that you are clutching at straws. The media is as untrustworthy as Hillary.
Ken says
yeah, Ron!
Frederick Pillivant says
I am using my brain and that is why I am voting for Trump. Donald Trump is not of the establishment at all and will not have to answer to the donor PACS as he is the only candidate funding his own campaign.
Jay Bell says
Actually, Frederick Pilivant, that is untrue. Trump initially funded his own campaign but he definitely has donors now. And donors always want something when they make big donations.
Dixygal says
Who are these donors? If you are going to make statements like that, you need to back them up with facts.
Mary A Noriega says
We are all voting for Trump. All of us US born Mexicans.
John F says
You are absolutely right about Cruz! He is a Constitutionalist and patriot all the way. Has stood up to both sides of the isle in pursuit of doing what is right for the country and the people. Those who try to paint him as participating in the status quo, know absolutely nothing about Ted Cruz. As far as the ethanol nonsense goes, it ruins small engines and drives up the cost of food and makes a handful of farmers rich due to subsidies. It does nothing to lower the price of fuel and is not a viable solution in the long run because of transportation problems. Ask the fuel transportation experts!
Jay Bell says
Rita, you are lowering the level of discourse on this subject. Do you really want others to conclude that Trump’s supporters are uncivil?
Joy says
Thank you, Jay
Ken says
Too much caffeine?
Gaffer says
Thanks Rita. But please tone it down! Your tone and attitude, if adopted by everyone, would lead to civil war. Take a Quaalude, please. Or get anger management help.
Louis says
Debates should be healthy meaningful, and to the point
Lorri says
Dear God please let this continue to happen across the country. This man is affiliated with Satin.

He has nothing to do with Obama!

The only person that appears to be affiliated with Satan’s
principles is the present Pres. and the Democratic
contender for Pres….Hillary. Obama in a skirt
Connie Engles says
Well said Fran, totally agree.
Barry says
Consider the source.
Lisa says
Yeah! Cruz has to beat Hillary!
Kathy Walker says
Cruz was born in Canada, he also only wants to get rid of criminal illegals. They all need to go back if not we don’t have a country for Americans. I am voting Trump we have to take our country back. Cruz is being bought off from big oil. He is another puppet in Government. Trump is the only person to straighten this mess out Cruz is just another thief.
Carol Strom says
I agree. We need to get rid of the politicians and bring some common sense to Washington. The ones we have now are all being bought off.
Angela says
You are so right! Cruz has to promise donors something and this is what I am fed-up with. We the People is what is important in this election. We need to feel represented and for a candidate that really cares enough to do something about where our money is going and to whom. TRUMP is the one I trust to expose all this stealing from us and who will do all he can to keep us safe!
John F says
Your statements, “Cruz is being bought off from big oil. He is another puppet in Government.” are pure nonsense. Where is the proof of being bought by big oil? I have looked at the donations to his campaign. Name them! He is the pure opposite to “another puppet in Government.” He takes anyone on who is not championing the Constitution and the people. You have done no homework and are a useful parrot for Trump. Nothing more.
Jay Bell says
I’m still concerned that Cruz is ineligible. If he was born outside the country to Americans (like John McCain) I think he would be okay. Or, if he were like B.O. and was born to only one U.S. citizen (his mother) supposedly in Hawaii. But, born outside the country to only one American citizen (his dad was not an American citizen at the time) seems a bridge too far for the Constitutional requirement that a candidate for President or Vice President must be a “natural born citizen”. Will someone please check into this. In a nightmare scenario, Cruz becomes the nominee and then someone challenges his eligibility to run. And what if the Dem-controlled SCOTUS rules that he is ineligible? Republicans would then be left in a mad scramble to come up with a candidate–but, much too late and then Hillary wins.
Jjb says
And just how was this “POLL” done – as in How were the questions phrases?
… Yes, you can phrase a question very nicely so it will favor a given answer you want, even making it sound “fair” ….
How are we suppose to trust anything “now”, with the RNC making it clear that they will do ANYTHING / EVERYTHING to dump Trump? (Yes, even rig polls.)
The next question is this:
Cruz I know you are not listening / reading which worries me a lot:
1st . Like Dr. Carson why are you NOT speaking OUT AGAINST the RNC to control the election out come? If INDEED you are a man of Character … well …..???
This worries me … has he “FALLEN IN LINE” with the RNC instead of doing what is right?
I understand that “POLITICS” is a “I AM THE BETTER CANDIDATE” and it goes into attacking the other candidates showing how “I AM BETTER THEN “A” – “B” …and so on.”
I get that …. but to basically RIG the RNC that we will only be allowed to Vote for RNC Specific “Sanitized” Candidates?
Here is my question now for Mr. Cruz:
We know where Donald Trump’s money is coming from. We know who “OWNS” him – He does!
Mr. Cruz, it’s time to come clean – “WHO OWNS YOU?” and please do NOT insult us and say you run for “US” … no, the $$$ that is behind you OWNS you … so who are the BIG $$ behind you???
And WHY are you NOT standing against the RNC and their “Sanitized” list?
Ken says
The RNC doesn’t like Cruz or Trump. They are behind Bush and Rubio. Cruz can recite the Constitution without notes and is the best debater in the bunch. Tea Party, small amount doners too. Big oil! Now you’re sounding like liberals.
Jjb says
I still find Cruz’s SILENCE about the “Broker Deal” – that Dr. Carson spoke out against CLEARLY … well … very silent.
I hope Cruz speaks out SOON and VERY SOON!
Angela says
Ben Carson is not what I thought he really was. Yes, he is a great surgeon, but when he put Wilson down for shooting Michael Brown, I thought uh oh something is not right . then he put down the police and then I knew. He has 4 aides that support Farrakhan!. That did it for me!!!!
John F says
How about you save your breath until after you have researched where Ted Cruz’s campaign funds actually originate. They are periodically published. By not doing your homework first you classify yourself and your comments as “useful parrot” for Trump. Ted Cruz probably has more brains than all the other candidates, combined. He is not prone to the knee-jerk type of comments that persistently come from Trump’s mouth. He actually thinks and gathers facts to back up what he says. Trump does not, and did not, in making his comments about Cruz. Just his typical “attack mode” reaction is what we can always count on coming from Trump. Is that how you want our President to respond to any given situation?
D/D says
THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER VOTED BEFORE WILL DECIDE WHO WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT
THE MAJORITY HAVE WOKE UP
Angela says
Yes it will be Trump!!! He is the only one that will do what is right for American citizens!! I trust him completely with restoring our Republic!!
John F says
Trump has you convinced, but what has he done to prove to you that he will do what is right for the people? He talks a good line but he also rubbed elbows with Bill & Hillary to get things he wanted. Ted Cruz has proved that he will stand up for the people and the Constitution the whole time he has been in the Senate. Check out some of the videos of Cruz in the Senate. You will see the only candidate that has proven regularly that he works for us and the Constitution. Talk is cheap as has been proved by Obama many times. What has Trump done besides make promises, just like Obama?
geeme says
Please don’t forget to vote Mr Donald Trump as your president of U.S. America. Vote for Mr Donald Trump. He is a good man and trustworthy. He will take care of American people of U.S. of America. He has my vote for him 100% and his support. He is very smart and strong. He is the U.S. leader. Go Trump.
Sirblu says
Geeme – I totally agree and if Trump wants tobe unstoppable he might consider having Ben Carson as his running mate. I think that would soildify the Black and Latino vote.
The RNC is getting just as bad as the Democrates!
DixieBelle says
A better ticket would be Trump/Cruz. That would get the majority of the votes, and leave Billary wondering where their next million is coming from.
John F says
You got that right! Tump/Cruz or Cruz/Trump, either will work.
Lois Wenk says
Dump trump We need a real vote. One that asks who if nominated will you not vote for. Trump is arrogant. never nagosiates. Do you want frivolous war?
Greta says
We need someone most interested in the common man, not pleasing lobbiest and self interest. I wonder who that is? Trump may not be smooth and a bit crude at times, but he genuinely loves and cares about our beloved country!!
John F says
Cruz has proven over and over again in the Senate that he stands up for the people. Look at his voting record and better yet, watch many of the videos of him in the Senate. Then ask yourself the same question you just asked. Do your homework and there will be no doubt left about who is most interested in standing up for the “common man” and the Constitution.
Peter Bonfield says
Last-ditch efforts by Republican establishment to stop the gate crasher Trump.
John F says
Cruz is the farthest thing there is from an “establishment” candidate. The establishment were behind Bush from the beginning, but since he has fizzled, they are now behind Rubio. Cruz has always been anti-establishment. Ask Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader, whom Cruz openly called a liar!
Jay Bell says
Being anti-establishment is not necessarily a good thing. Jimmy Carter was/is a principled man but had no ability to get anything very positive done about the mess that is Washington, D.C. because he chose to be “anti-establishment”. We need someone in the Oval Office who will enlist the Republican establishment in nullifying much of what Obama has put in place. But, and here’s the thing, we need to give a truly Republican Congress to a Republican President–and maybe that will make a difference going forward. If we elect RINOs (like the Bushes) not one thing will get done to straighten anything out. Marco Rubio has the grudging support of the Republican establishment because they view him as the “least bad” (against Trump and Cruz) and is the one most likely to unify the party and win against Hillzilla in the general election.
geeme says
I never vote for any body due to bad and unprofessional president. Now, Mr Donald Trump will be the best president ever. I trust him. He’s here for a good reason. So, i vote for him. He’s going to be the best president for our American country. We need to give him our secure and support. Dump Cruz and Clinton. They are wasting my money and time. Go Trump.
John F says
Ignorance has spoken. Sorry, but you obviously no nothing about Ted Cruz and not much more about Trump. Except, of course, what he tells you. Remember, that was the same thing Obama did before ignorance elected him.
Robert says
WHEW! LETS MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN = That’s the bottom line
edwina says
I’m for Trump- he says things like they are- he won’t take crap from the media-is a good
businessman-knows our country-is patriotic- loves AMerica and will bring AMerica back to the way it should be-great-passionate about values and bring jobs to our country and not continue to outsource our jobs-like Hillary when she made the pact with China.
And he will do something about our borders. AMEN!!!!!!!
Ken says
Trump admits donating large sums of cash to the Clintons for political favors.
Angela says
Yes he did. What business man did not! You can not judge him for doing his business. He is in the race for Americans and that is what I want in my president.Working and caring for the rights of the people!!
Ken says
But he says all the other candidates are beholding to someone. That’s EXACTLY what he did with Clinton.
Angelita789 says
Long ago – Forgiven and Forgotten – Now is the Future of America!! Trump can save America, get that fence built to keep us safe! He will only – not allow alien radicalized immigrants from any countries, etc., without proper documents, how long they intend to stay, and their reasons why they want into our Country. Will they want to live in peace with us, respect our religion(s), and help make themselves rich, by working hard at what they to and make America great again. There is no reason or excuse to use their “religion” as any motive to do damages of any kind in Our Country of America!! We offend no one who loves America – any offense taken as how we live in our Country is absurd – if they feel offended for any reason in America – they can go back to where they came from. They love our Land but they want to change it and damage it and all of us here and use their their “mythical and false credos” and hatred to further their very evil agendas. We aren’t taking it anymore!! THIS IS AMERICA!! WE LOVE AMERICA!! Go Trump – we need you – we are counting on you!! WE PRAY FOR OUR LAND OF THE FREE, HOME OF THE BRAVE!! AMEN!! GOD IS LISTENING TO ALL PRAYERS FOR OUR COUNTRY, GOOD OLE US OF A!!
betty thompson says
I agree vote for Donald trump all that talk about cruz did anyone see it happen in the senate
Lois Wenk says
Not by Trumps standards He attacked Carson for childhood wrongs. Trump did this as an adult.
DixieBelle says
Doing business in New York put Trump on the inside of politics. Everyone knows that to get permits in NY you have to grease some political palms. In his case it was Hillary’s. You can’t blame any businessman for doing what it takes to get things done – even if it means befriending Hillary Clinton. I’m sure he could tell us a lot.
John F says
The “Trumpers” find it convenient to ignore this fact.
Lois Wenk says
Yes I wish they would quit emoting.
Justin W says
Ethanol may be a big thing in Iowa but it is not the energy solution America had hoped it would be. A study several years ago found that it took more energy to create the ethanol than it produced.
Angela says
That industry means jobs and that is why Trump is for it.
John F says
Bad jobs solution! Do you honestly think those jobs created by ethanol, which are few, offset the rise in the price of groceries. Not even close! Ethanol is a loose, loose, loose proposition. The only winners are the farmers who are subsidized to grow it and the politicians who are paid to make it happen. It saves nothing on fuel and it can be argued that it actually raises the price of fuel. And that doesn’t even take into consideration the unending damage it does to small engines.
John F says
Driving the price of groceries up does nothing to create jobs. Might want to research ethanol, instead of parroting what Trump says. Ethanol is a LOOSER. It ONLY benefits the farmers who are subsidized to grow it and the politicians who receive the political donations (and possible kickbacks) from the farmers who grow it. How many jobs does it create? How does that compare to other alternatives to ethanol? How much economic and environmental damage does ethanol do in comparison to all other forms of fuel?
Do the homework and then use your own common sense instead of parroting what others say.
Dale Bruening says
I’m for Trump all the way Lets make America Great Again all together with Trump

fletcherJ. R. FLETCHER says
i just say a thing or twoabout president TRUMP i think he will be a man that cant be bought. ne dont need to be bought he has plent so he wont haave to be bought like others others have been and will be. i think hillary will ;probably wind up being bought off for a misdemeanor or maby even something even less unless mr gowdy stays in there and comes out with a whole lot of the whole mess she has been tied up in for the last several years her and willie both my comment thank you. .
fletcherJ. R. FLETCHER says
that is all
Joel says
The caucus vote has not been held yet. Mr. Trump will do well there. I am sure he will finish in the top three, if he does not win it. I am sure Iowa would like to pick a winner. I believe that he has the best vision going forward for our country. He will not will all of the votes (he should) but he will be elected president if the republican establishment does not back stab him. It is refreshing to hear someone running for public office not worrying about being politically correct and saying what many have on their mind. I believe that most independents and many true democrats (Not left wing social terrorist) listen to Mr. Trump’s message. There are several good men running for president but Mr. Trump will be best for our country. New Hampshire allows independents to vote and this may give us some incite to the general election. Remember most Americans want a safe country. Most Americans want a strong country. Most Americans want our position in the world economics, Military, respectability status returned to where the were before this current administration took over and more. Not only has the Current Administration failed us, the Congress and Senate also has, both Democrats and Republicans. The USA needs Mr. Trump.

Robert – AMEN! I AGREE !!

Here’s another article from Real Clear Politics, that asks the question, “Is Trump Working for Hillary?” http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2015/12/08/democrats_best_weapon_trump_128977.html
joseph tyhonas says
GO TRUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
geeme says
Vote for Mr Donald Trump.
Remember, when Mr Donald Trump do become a U.S. president of America, He going to see alot of topics that Obama and Hillary Clinton made mess of this issues in the White House. You’re going to be in shock. When things happen. I hope to God that he will put them criminals in jail for along time. Mr Donald Trump, I’m on your backup and your support. Be strong and be healthy. It’s going to be a huge headache. Get plenty of rest. Go. Trump. I vote for you 100%.
Patricia Anne says
Those above comments are so pathetic.
Mr. Donald Trump, as you all call him, is very similiar to a pipe bomb that has a very short fuse. After you light him, you had better run like the dickens. One does not know when he will go off, if he will go off or if the fuse got damp and the fire went out. He is a man of many moods, today you might be his friend, tomorrow you might be his enemy. He is too emotional to run a tight ship. Which country will be our friend and which country will be our enemy when he leaves office? I know he has good intentions but——-where does a good intention go if it has no direction.
Ted Cruz is a wonderful man in that he is honest, straight, dedicated, knows the laws and rules of our country well.
I know, deep within my whole being, that Ted Cruz will turn this country around and make it reflect his values. He is definitely the one to vote for, I promise you!!!
jb says
First of all ,, one good way to judge a person is how there children are ,,, second,, is what they built in there life , one good.

Adrienne says
Love Joe’s comment! It is wonderful to have people who are voting for the first time and did not vote the last time. It tells me that people are excited about this coming election and want to have someone brand new coming into office who loves America and is passionate about turning this fabulous country around! Hurrah for the first timers- I applaud you Welcome!
Nanjo says
The world’s wealthiest and most generous country in the world is America. We need strong leadership to get it back to where it was year’s ago. I feel we are a Christian nation regardless of what Obama says. God is in control and perhaps now is the time for Him to put the right man in office. Go Trump
alice says
Trump will not take crap from the media nor the RNC and will not be bought and will not even take a pay check for his term what a guy he is–what a nice family he has–this man has never done alcohol, drugs or cigarettes –what more could we ask for?
geeme says
You all need help with your crazy minds here. Think about your great great and greatest grandparents came here way back then before you were born. Wake up stupid people. They came here for a better life. You all need to appreciate and be more support for your history year ago. This is why God send Mr Donald Trump for your U.S. American.. we forgot to many thank you George Washington for coming to U.S. American and he landed and walked on the America land. We owe this American country to George Washington, so, if you don’t like the U.S. and American people. You need to move to other hell country. I am very happy that Mr Donald Trump as my president of U.S. of America. God Bless you and. your family. Go Trump.
Sharon Gookin says
I cannot help but wonder if these polls are not being rigged. Seems the Rhino’s want a died in the wool politician instead of someone like Trump and Carson who do not give a darn about “political correctness” as witnessed by their wanting a “brokered” convention. God help us all – what the people want does not matter at all!
Danuta says
Tramp would put our upside down system to normality again.Let’s help him to do it.Let’s save America.

Read the books that have been written by Donald Trump and by Ben Carson. Listen to the speech that Ben Carson gave at the National prayer breakfast. After doing so you will be able to see the things, that are really on these men’s hearts. We have experienced the dark things that are on the hearts and minds of the socialists, the homosexuals, the baby murderers, Christian haters and the radical Muslim cults like ISIL and Nation of Islam. The men you are arguing back and forth about are not our enemies. Yes a couple of them might be the best of the lot, but remember that even if the best two get to be president and vice president, they won’t be able to straighten everything out. The men and women who were elected to their positions on the Senate and in the House of Representatives will still be there. We have had a man who has been operating as if He were a King and even if he is gone, all his confederates will be left to fight against the changes that our new leaders will try to bring about. They want socialism (communism) and with the damage they and their golden boy has done, they will not give up. If you are a true Christian or true Muslim, or of the Hebrew faith, then turn to our creator and pray that He heals our land. He has done this for Nations in the past and it is only by His power and good men and women He uses, that will bring this about. Thanks to all of you for caring and loving our country so much! Dave—O
