Donald Trump Continues to Lead in GOP Republican Primary Votes
When Trump pronounced Ted Cruz “just fine” at the end of the debate, the Texas senator appeared as tickled as if he’d just won the Presidential Medal of Freedom or an Academy Award.

Therapy, maybe – but also a deliberate move by Bush, whose strategy to save his faltering campaign now involves attacking Trump, forcefully and frequently.
The rest of the GOP contenders showed little change in their poll numbers after the debate. This statistic, soon to be widely discussed on cable news, captures Trump’s polarizing effect: He consistently dominates public opinion surveys while simultaneously garnering high disapproval ratings. “Did you hear him talk about foreign policy in the debate?” Still, by honoring Trump’s implicit rule that if you demonstrate respect for him, he’ll probably leave you alone, Cruz has so far avoided a Trump onslaught.
Of Vladimir Putin, Bush said, “he will respect strength, not a clown show”. Two months ago he gets his news from the shows.
Under traditional rules of thumb, one would expect that many Trump fans won’t actually vote, and that his percentages will be well under the 33 percent he’s getting in national polls and the 25 percent and 29 percent he’s polling in Iowa and New Hampshire. Marco Rubio also reiterated a more moderate stance on immigration, saying in an exclusive interview with NBC News that he was uncomfortable by the presence of a large undocumented population being present in the country. And he’s casting his decision to go after Trump, in part, as a move to save the Republican party.
Jeb Bush has followed his advice to Donald Trump that “you can’t insult your way to the presidency” by calling Trump a jerk. “A guy like that should not be the front-running candidate of our great party – that is not how we win”. “I hated that”, Bush said.
Despite his GOP frontrunner status, 50% of American voters nevertheless told Quinnipiac that they would be “embarrassed” to have Trump as the face of the U.S.

It’s a welcome approach to some New Hampshire voters.
