Drake said he was leaning toward supporting Trump or Rubio but had not ruled out Carson. The results are expressed through delegates who vote in the party convention. Ted Cruz to the establishment favorites like former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush – have taken positions along the spectrum that appeal to his supporters, albeit with more subtlety and polished rhetoric. The congressman says he’s appalled by Trump’s habit of being as “inflammatory as possible”. Cruz, meanwhile, has been enjoying a rapid rise in the polls.
“I’ll leave that up to you to speculate”, he added with a smile. You see I am supposed to be on the other side writing checks and having people do whatever I want, you know they are puppets.
A third-party run by Carson or Trump would be a worst-case scenario for the GOP. & it is a minimum of partly an particular human being phenomenon based mostly on the charismatic appeal of Trump himself. “There is real animosity because of how he’s tried to take the spotlight”, said Sharon Deaver, who regularly attends Carson’s Iowa events and has volunteered for the campaign, when asked how Carson and Cruz compare. The margin of error is 3.3 percent.
Americans were divided in their views of Democrats Clinton (44 percent favorable to 46 percent unfavorable) and Sanders (31 percent favorable to 32 percent unfavorable). Rubio is farther behind in the Hawkeye State than nationally, drawing 13.7 percent backing.

Presidential candidate Donald Trump says Republican Party leaders need to “get used to” him being a serious contender for the nomination. Reagan would rebound and claim the nomination as well as the White House four years later. “We’ll certainly be keeping a close eye on things”, he said. Stevenson lost in the general election to Republican Dwight Eisenhower.
“Whatever I say, the media will say I said it wrong”.
“In politics, perceptions count”, political scientist Jack Pitney of Claremont McKenna College told Bloomberg in an email.
“I’m trying my best to be a good Republican”, Graham said. “It’s nothing more than that”, he said.
He noted that previous candidates who have appealed to the establishment wing in both major parties have come through dire straits to win the nomination in the end. In a speech announcing his candidacy in June, Trump called Mexicans “rapists” causing NBCUniversal, Univision Communications Inc., Grupo Televisa SAB, Serta and PVH Corp.to break ties with him.

But while nine in 10 Republican voters said decisiveness and competence are extremely or very important in a candidate for president, just six in 10 said compassion is that important, and only half said it’s that important for a candidate to be likable.
