Just on Meet the Press --- NBC Post debate Poll:

#1 Trump - 23%
#2 Cruz - 13%
#3 Carson - 11%
#4 Fiorinia - 8%
#4 Rubio - 8%

Moe +/- 3.4%
August 7th-8th

Bush and Walker fall out of the Top 5, Kasich falls out of the Top 10.

It will be interesting to see what other polls show, this poll is a HUGE shake-up. Cruz was averaging around 6th place and between 5 and 6%. Fiorina wasn't registering. Carson was around 5th place and 6%. Rubio was BEHIND Bush and Walker as the establishment candidate.

I can't find these numbers anywhere. Surprised Freep doesn't have them yet.

What Happens When You Rescind an Invitation to Trump?

Looks like a lot of bad things happen.

http://www.redstate.com/2015/08/09/what-happens-when-you-rescind-an-invitation-to-trump/

quote:

What happens when you rescind an invitation to Donald Trump?

Well, my RedState email is suddenly maxed out due to a flood of very angry emails. I’ve been called queer, an n-word lover, Megyn Kelly has been referred to as the c-word.

My office phone line’s voicemail has also gotten maxed out with angry phone calls.

Last night, people were leaving voicemails in my hotel room — having somehow managed to navigate the hotel switch board. At 3 o’clock this morning I had to unplug the phones in my room.

My twitter feed is unusable. It’s just angry people, many of them very recently created accounts of people following few others and with little to no followers. But I can’t interact with much of anyone because of the timeline.

Greta Van Susteren exacerbated it earlier today with her tweet piling on me, which brought in her followers on top of Donald Trump’s. They could not really distinguish that I had apologized for things I had said and Trump just changed his story.

Facebook is much the same way.

RedState suffered a denial of service attack throughout the night and into this morning.

Yesterday, my wife and kids had to pack up and leave the hotel because the few angry people were very loud and vocal as my kids were present. The kids got upset and scared so were unable to see the Gathering or go to last night’s party. The party itself was fine. Only two people told me they disagreed and they characterized it as “understanding but disappointed.”

It’s the whirlwind of hate right now, but at least voicemail is maxed out and email is crashed.

Would I do it again? Absolutely. Rescinding my invitation to Donald Trump was the right thing to do.

The Donald had a vodka. Trump vodka (labeled super premium, naturally) was introduced in 2006 to much fanfare. Under the slogan "Success Distilled," the liquor was touted as the "epitome of vodka" that would "demand the same respect and inspire the same awe as the international legacy and brand of Donald Trump himself." At the time, Trump predicted the T&T (Trump and Tonic) would become the most requested drink in America, surpassed only by the Trump Martini.

Yes, it came in gold bottles. Of course it did.

You maybe right, honestly I thought he was going to dump out when he had to file his financials. I just feel that he's not serious and when time comes for him to put skin in the game he's going to go down in flames.

Basically Donald Trump is a less serious Rob Ford. For all of Ford's goofiness the man put A LOT of skin in the game.

I could be wrong but here's my opinion on Donald J Trump:

Donald Trump is a carny, and the Republican base are his marks. He is not serious, this is about bilking idiots out of money and having fun doing it.

As far as lost deals, when you get 24 million Americans to watch a Republican primary debate in the middle of summer it shows the power of your brand. Yeah he lost a lot, but he will gain even more once he dumps out. Hell, he's most likely in negotiations with Fox right now for an Apprentice-esque show.

Trump led the party's 17-strong 2016 presidential field with the backing of 24 percent of Republican voters, unchanged from before Thursday's televised debate.

Yeah the right wing sphere is full of negative articles on Carson and Trump at the present. The Trump ones aren't sticking so well, but the Carson ones look like they're getting traction, and in the next debate watch for someone to throw this in his face.

EDIT: Just to add, if they take out Carson most of his support will trickle to Cruz, or Trump. If/When Trump flames out I believe Cruz will be positioned as the "Anti-Establishment guy" polling around 30%...

From a few pages ago in regards to the timing of Carson's research with aborted fetuses being released:

It is definitely not coincidence. Journalism relies on sources and in the world of politics, your best source for information on a candidate is an opposing candidate's organization.

A friend of mine worked for a gubernatorial candidate here in Illinois. He found out that an opposing candidate had let go of a staffer after that staffer had accused him of making a pass at him. He held off on that information for a few months because he did not want to use it unless necessary (because the guy could be a decent ally if needed). The opposing candidate started getting media attention (a little bump in the polls) so he let the info leak to some reporter friends that he drinks with. The opposing candidate's poll numbers went down while my friend's candidate numbers went up (picking up the voters). If he had used that earlier in the campaign season, it might not have been noticed by the media and things lose their effectiveness when you can say "I was accused of this months ago and it went nowhere, stop wasting people's time". My friend does not have any issue about gays and he actually liked the candidate as a person but as he said "this is what you do when you want your guy to win".

The question "will this hurt Carson?" is not the important one right now. Instead, the better questions are "Who released this information?" and "How does Carson attack them back?"

Well considering a bunch of PRO - Walker stuff has been dropped today... I think I have an idea.

Also interestingly enough George Will's wife(and maybe George himself) are working for the Walker campaign...

No those are not important questions because Ben Carson is not an important candidate and any candidate with a chance already recognizes this and wouldn't bother kneecapping a useless candidate.

Op research is cool and fun and I rather doubt anyone is making any money doing it on Carson because he is too irrelevant to bother with.

In the grand scheme of things you're right, but this Iowa poll came out yesterday:

http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/12/politics/iowa-donald-trump-poll-cnn-orc/

Since then we get Trump and Carson getting attacked on abortion, while the right wing sphere is full of pro-Walker talk...
