Speaking of post-debate polls, NBC/SurveyMonkey poll. Beware, because it is an "Internet Poll," though it is one that is professional and attempts to be scientific.


Trump/Carson 26
Cruz 10
Rubio 9
Bush 5
Fiorina 4
Christie/Kasich/Huckabee/Paul 2
Graham/Santorum/Jindal/Pataki/Gilmore 0

Now, Fox Business said only phone polls will be considered. The IBD/TIPP poll earlier was a phone poll, but may or may not be considered because their record is poo poo. This will definitely not be considered as an Internet poll, which is good news for the entire bottom tier because this would consign some to the kiddie table and the bottom five to oblivion.

Also, all campaigns are going to the meeting Sunday to discuss setting up their own debates with none of this damned bias TM. The last holdout was Jeb! He eventually caved after the others signed on to go to the meeting.

We'll see if this meeting gets anywhere. It'll be a good test of Donald Trump's negotiation talents. All of the candidates are pissed at the moderators, but are they pissed enough to follow the Tanned Piper's tune down the road to hosting their own debate independent of the RNC? If so, what would it possibly be? Will the venue be a Trump hotel?

Also despite some bullshit question the candidates crying about the debates comes across as incredibly pathetic and refusing to go on an NBC debate doubly so. I'm surprised Hillary hasn't started making those chicken bawking noises at them yet.

Des Moines celebrates Halloween the day before Halloween and calls it Begger's Night and Rand Paul is standing in Zombie Burger, one of the most touristy restaurants in Des Moines. So props for partying it up tonight, I guess.

I hope he gets hosed up at the bar and live tweets it.

Technically it would be a "deadlocked", not a "brokered" convention. Not only are there no longer any brokers, but if there were they would never, ever go with Cruz.

I don't think Mitt Romney changed significantly between 2008 and 2012.

Mitt officially became The Guy Who Was Runner Up In The Last Primary which was a somewhat important thing when considering his inevitability. It's why at some point Santorum was talked about as a front runner for 2016 because he was next in line and that's what Republicans do. Bush doesn't have anywhere near the aura of Mitt.

IBD/TIPP last 3 polls:
8/31/2015: Trump 17% (leads)
10/2/2015: Trump 17% (down 7% to Carson)
10/30/2015: Trump 28% (leads)

Only the 10/2/2015 is in the RCP average. Maybe there are some kind of requirements that aren't listed by RCP.

I thought it was an Iowa thing, but they are trick or treating in Denver tonight also, so maybe that is spreading?

Also, Zombie Burger owns. I don't care about the zombie part, but I like their crazy rear end burger combinations.

This is a cowardly stance. Also afaik, secret service doesn't get involved with candidates until 100 days before the general.
