This probably deserves its own thread. Does the Republican Party splinter? Conservatism does not mean the same thing to all Conservatives. I propose that the democrats could win the day. Democrats could take over the Senate. Obama and his liberal policies could very well continue. CAIR could win. Liberal immigration policies could continue. The economic malaise could continue. Hillary could win. Levin, Beck, Limbaugh, etc. could well incite and then lose? or do they win no matter what?

Some establishmentarians worry the Tea Partiers are already blithely driving the GOP into the ground. “I don’t think they care about the party. I think they care about issues and philosophies,”
Americans elect their officials not to be faithful soldiers for the party, but to go to Washington and to represent the voters views on the "issue and philosophies". It is the GOP party that doesn't care about their constituents.

Just saw this headline on Drudgereport, but didn't read the article:
"REUTERS 5-DAY ROLLING: TRUMP 30.6%, CRUZ 16.7%, CARSON 12.7%, RUBIO 8.4%... MORE..."
That would mean if 100% of Cruz' + Carson's + Rubio's votes combined to a single candidate, they would be winning by a 7.2% margin. And that's if 100% of those voters were anti-Trump (which obviously they aren't). I wonder what SB's polls are showing?

1. Interesting there were some who thought Rubio would surge after the last debate - but it Cruz surging and Rubio support flat.
2. Carson has collapsed
3. Christie has a little life, not much, but a little (at least in NH)
4. I think the polls are underestimating support to Trump. Actually if you dig into the polls, Trump is liked a lot more than mainstream press wants to admit. I think it kind of the Putin and NASCAR effect.Attached Files

Bush and Carson need to do the honorable thing and pull the cord on their life support unit. Well I guess it makes no difference, they're votes have pretty much already gone elsewhere. Christie probably needs to do the same but he's far more entertaining (and likable).Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!

It's interesting on those graphs how much tighter the plot points for Rubio are compared to Trump and Cruz. Not sure what can be extracted from that, other than Rubio polls more consistently across the different poll metrics.Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind. ~Dr. Seuss
