After an extended wind-up in which he cited an extensive list of nationwide polls and polls from other states that continue to show him winning by wide margins, he said, “Let me give you the bad news”. Trump is getting ready to mount a major fight in Florida against two of the states resident sons.
He said he loves Iowa but he “honestly [thinks] the polls are wrong”. Carson is also beating Trump among Iowa conservatives.
“I’m going to support the Republican nominee, and I’m comfortable that it’s not going to be Donald Trump, and I’m increasingly confident that it’s going to be me”, Rubio said on CNN’s “State of the Union”.
“No, not at all”.
During an appearance on NBC News’ Meet the Press today, Carson said that Trump and other critics often mistake his soft-spoken manner as a sign of a lack of energy. “But, no, not at all”.
While criticized for a few of his comments – including suggestions that a few government policies could lead to Nazi-ism – Carson told NBC that his message of less government is resonating in Iowa and elsewhere.

The leader in polls elsewhere, Trump told ABC that Carson is his top challenger only in Iowa. “I’ve gotten along with Democrats and I’ve gotten along with Republicans”, Trump said. And I am who I am. “I did talk about Jeb because I thought Jeb was going to be the front-runner”. “I will be a great unifier for our country”. It makes me wonder if he’s too abrasive to be President.
