Calm the fuck down people. Polls right now are meaningless. Trump wouldn't survive one primary on a campaign trail.
Although I would pay money to see him debate Palin and Gingrich.
Dude how could you forget Bachmann is going to try and run also.
God, I can't wait for the GOP primary debates.
I feel like we were just getting done laughing Palin off the stage and asking each other "is she serious?" when Bachmann kicked down the door covered in war paint and the blood of a women's health provider shouting "I'M FUCKING SERIOUS"

so you get new tents
one for the people who think the establishment clause doesn't apply to them, one for the people who are just there to voice large business interests, and then one small one for the people with actual Republican principles.

or fumigate, I guess
it's not my tent
As I said - you divide the country up into two sides, you're gonna have outliers in both sides.
The fact that some of ours got some seats is more a reflection of your own weakness than our implicit insanity (ie the Kucinich Effect).

I'm delaying my reaction to that poll until someone smart talks about how misleading it is.
It's kind of weird that that was the only social question asked. Plus they mostly polled older voters.
Q17 If you are 18 to 29 years old, press 1. If 30 to
45, press 2. If 46 to 65, press 3. If you are
older than 65, press 4.
18 to 29........................................................... 12%
30 to 45........................................................... 20%
46 to 65........................................................... 36%
Older than 65.................................................. 32%
I'm calling bullshit on that. I don't care how much hatred and cynicism you have, there is no way that is true.
Even if that many Mississippi Republicans are that racist (which I doubt but is not something that can really be measured), they would never admit it on a poll.

It could be some people were confused and thought the question was about gay marriage.

Yeah.
