Rand Paul is kicking ass and taking names, surging in the polls… and …
Okay. Here’s how desperate it was for him. He actually had to tweet a self-congratulatory poll result of… fifth in Iowa… as a means to encourage him from falling out of the main stage at the next Republican debate.
Paul held on to his seat in the main debate due to a Sunday Fox News poll that placed him 5th in Iowa.
Paul, who had been fighting to stay away from the earlier “kids’ table” debate, was quick to tweet about the results, saying they were just “another reason” he should be in the larger debate.
Interesting to note, in the “Alex Jones” prison planet / infowars land, Rand Paul has lost his spot out to Donald Trump — who is now forever photo-centered the better to highlight stories about the political correct media and liberals and minorities going apeshit about Donald Trump’s front-running status.
On Donald Trump, Jeb Bush has a conspiracy theory…
Appearing on WBZ-TV Sunday morning, the former Florida governor slammed his Republican presidential opponent as “not motivated to win the presidency†and continued to proclaim that Trump is in cahoots with Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner. Bush also contended that Trump is neither a “serious person†nor a “serious candidate.â€
Actually, some amusement springing out of Jeb Bush on petty threats of lawsuits from Trump in the general hustle of a nomination fight. Of course, all Trump has to say is “I lead in the polls and you’re boring”, which is what he’s been saying all year to everyone… except when someone pulls ahead of him in which case we have… Trump calling Cruz a “maniac” (or, not boring… you can’t win either way with Trump!)
… and I think we have more vetting to be done with Cruz?
In the wake of Trump controversially calling for a ban on Muslims entering America, Cruz also unsurprisingly toppled Trump in another key factor: Likeability.
He earned a 73% percent vote for that quality — far above any other GOP competitor.
People who don’t like Ted Cruz include Bob Dole, all the Bushes, John McCain…
of course, who the heck is John McCain? He’s backing Lindsey Graham…
You do have to wonder about some of this. Like… if Ben Carson bolts the Republican Party because they manage to eke out a win at convention time against a not above 50 percent in delegate count Donald Trump — a person who stayed out of politics until he stumbled into them — does that … matter?
Good news for John Kasich. He is a popular governor in Ohio. Unlike Chris Christie, who is not a popular governor in New Jersey.
