New FOXNEWS poll:

Take aways:

Crazy gun chat has helped Carson greatly.
Trump's numbers are stable. Still #1!
Cruz and Rubio on the rise...
Fiorina has nose dived.
Jeb! is up a whole point.

good to see JEB! can't even pull decisively ahead of "don't know / don't care" among self identified republican voters. congrats JEB! you're barely beyond the margin of error

Trump knows better than to mess with Carson, his fans wouldn't take it. They're too devoted to him.

Once Carson starts to tank from the media actually calling him on all the dumb poo poo he's saying you'll probably see Trump say something, but if Carson's numbers are already falling then he won't even have to and can focus on clowning Rubio and Jeb!.

Most of the current crop make Lindsey Graham look like Abe loving Lincoln. Trump is Trump, Carson sounds like he's been tranquilized, Fiorna is one HP-focused attack ad away from obliteration, Jeb's campaign drifts from catastrophe to catastrophe like his brother's presidency, and Cruz is a sociopath who looks like someone microwaved his face. The ability to form complete sentences and at least passably imitate a sane and semi-literate human being is a mark of considerable distinction in this primary.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

What's the supposed spin going to be on his "sin problem" comment? I know he's being full of poo poo and that tweet is basically nonsense but what are people on the right going to say he meant there?

I still think a big part of why Trump is doing this(other than the ego stroking) is to get back at the old money elites who have turned their noses up at him his entire life. Would go far to explain the absolute viciousness with which he attacks Jeb!

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.

I wish we had actual hard-hitting journalism in the US, because seeing Huckabee go in to an interview and be asked to explain himself would be great; especially when he'd get up and storm out of the interview.

He'd probably explain it by saying that racism is a moral failing and a consequence of religious laxity and secularism, preventing Americans from uniting as a community of believers.

Do you remember when Obama humiliated Trump in front of exactly the type of people whose approval he craves, aka, getting the entire WHCD audience to laugh at Trump by going on, sarcastically, about how hard Donald's job must be compared to his, and the camera panned to him, and everyone laughed?

That's when he decided to run for President.

True story, my aunt's BF sat next to him during that Correspondents Dinner and the tension around the table was apparently palpable after Obama's joke.
