Six months is a long time for this act to wear thin on real voters.

the election is more than a year away, lots of things will change before then.

I'll probably vote for Trump unless Newt runs. I'd vote for Newt all day any day.

I'm as much a socialist as Sanders is but he has no realistic way to pay for all of it.

Trump Reacts to His Surging Poll Numbers:

'I Want an Immediate Election!'

Are you sure he said ELECTION?

Deez Nuts is pulling 7-10% in general election polls throughout 30 states.

I'm the one who will call the Doc in 4 hours.

At a campaign rally in Dubuque, Iowa, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump reacted to new poll numbers, which he called "nothing short of tremendous."

He pointed out that Public Policy Polling had him dominating the GOP field with 35 percent of the vote in New Hampshire.

Trump added that a Monmouth University poll had him at 30 percent in South Carolina, and the new Gravis/OANN national poll had him at an incredible 40 percent.

In addition, the Iowa corn kernel poll has him leading by a substantial margin with 36 percent.

"I want the election tomorrow!" Trump said to a cheering crowd in Dubuque. "Can we call for an immediate election, please? I want an immediate election!"

There it is, straight from the horses mouth, he doesn't think he can maintain this lead.

Ya think?

Time will tell.

I'll never vote for him,

but man, Rick Santorum was on Bill Maher tonight. straight into the lion's den. i gained a ton of respect for him. I wanna see active presidential candidates in atmosphere's like this.

How The 2016 Candidates Are Getting Their Money, In 1 Infographic

Jeb Bush is getting all the millionaires, and Bernie Sanders is getting the small donors — those have been two prominent storylines in the 2016 money race for the presidency.

But what about everyone in between? The Washington, D.C.-based Campaign Finance Institute released data on campaign fundraising, and it paints a fascinating picture — which we decided to make into a literal picture. Here's how the different candidates' donation patterns stack up to each other:

Jeb Bush is getting all the millionaires, and Bernie Sanders is getting the small donors — those have been two prominent storylines in the 2016 money race for the presidency.

But what about everyone in between? The Washington, D.C.-based Campaign Finance Institute released data on campaign fundraising, and it paints a fascinating picture — which we decided to make into a literal picture. Here's how the different candidates' donation patterns stack up to each other:

What we found is that in the era of looser rules, candidates seem to have adopted a variety of fundraising models (for more analysis, read how we broke these models down). Some, like Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, are more dependent on their superPACs — as indicated by their share of support from super-big donations — while others, like Martin O'Malley, Ben Carson and Bernie Sanders, are dependent on their campaigns, which limit contributions to $2,700.

And then, of course, there are the self-funded candidates. This data doesn't reflect candidates' donations or loans to themselves. Donald Trump is the main example of this among presidential candidates, with $1.8 million in self-funding, though Lincoln Chafee has likewise donated to his campaign the majority of its funds.

Campaign committees and superPACs are the main ways candidates are raising money this year — they are by far the most popular types of committees, and most candidates have both (and some have multiple superPACs). Many candidates' superPACs are taking on traditional campaign roles this cycle, like rapid response, in addition to making big ad buys.

However, some are taking advantage of other fundraising avenues, but those have a variety of different restrictions. A handful have 527s — tax-exempt groups that can raise unlimited money but can't specifically advocate for a candidate. A few also have 501(c)(4)s, nonprofit groups that can also raise unlimited funds and do not have to disclose where those funds came from. However, they also are tightly restricted in their political activities.

Trump is the most honest politician out there because
he is not a politician.
We know what he thinks on many subjects and he tells
it like he sees it.
No PC, and he doesn't owe anyone anything.

Trump has more flip-flops than Walmart.

Trump is like a cartoon character. The Bikini Bottom billionaire.

Any canidate who accepts donations from the big corporations no longer represent the people. They represent the corps that paid them off to get elected. SO to me it doesn't matter what nonsense they speak because once they start accepting donations they represent the ones who paid them off.

Trump isn't paid off for the most part so I trust him a bit more than others because he is under no obligation but his own.

You are Fired!

So his own obligation would be what? Another multi billion dollar corporate type that you blame the others for accepting money from?

Trump is already successful in Business.
Trump is already a Billionaire.
Trump is already Famous.
Trump is in this race to make a difference for the Nation he loves.
Trump has a big ego and will try hard to be remembered as the
greatest President we have ever had.
Trump wants to solve problems everyone else has ignored.
Trump has got that Hair.

Trump may have the most fragile ego of any public figure I've ever seen. He constantly craves and seeks validation, and if he doesn't get it, he throws crybaby fits. An extremely insecure man. Just scroll through his Twitter feed. His ego is on par with that of a teenage girl.

He better avoid Bill Clinton in that case.

The Democrat strategists are going bonkers, Hillary is labeled a liar, Sanders a radical, Biden a joke and the Trump "politically correct" mystic continues to gain momentum in every poll.

huh? the democrats are siting back chilling watching this trainwreck unfold.

I wonder when Swish will jump from Hillary's sinking ship. Then he climb Denali and tell us how Obama made the world a better place.

Denali? Didn't that used to be Mount McKinley?

Oh yea, another Obama fix.
Where would we be without him?

There's a better chance of the Browns winning the superbowl than the GOP winning a national presidential election.

70-30, not bad odds.

Hey, you are from the Oregon/Washington area, right?
Did your entire liberal State burn to the ground yet?

It's always been Denali.
McKinley was its "temporary slave name"...

Can't wait till next week when Kanye will be polling higher than any GOP candidate.

What are the chances of deez nuts tho?

It's funny how the term "Changing its name" is used instead of "Restoring its original".

100 years is temporary?
Horse Hockey!

You should know by now that no place is real
until it is given a White name!

It has been that way since Christopher Columbus planted
his flag and proclaimed this land as the United States!

Ohio lawmakers slam Obama plans to rename Mt. McKinley 'Denali' during Alaska trip.

The rest of Ohio must be wise...

Can't you just be glad he didn't rename it to Mt. Hussein?

It wasn't McKinley.
Then it was McKinley.
Then it wan't McKinley again.

Yes... I'd call that temporary.
In fact, I'd say that's the very definition of temporary.

I heard about the Ohio lawmakers getting up in arms about it. One of two things is most probably at work here:

1. They really DO care about this- in which case, I'd have to seriously question their priorities. I mean- what does policy in Alaska have to do with the job they've been elected to do in Ohio?

or (and more likely)

2: Pandering to (and currying favor with) the local base


If they are so all-fired hacked off about this, there's an easy and appropriate solution:
Draft a state resolution to rename Campbell Hill in Bellefontaine 'Mt. McKinley.'

BRING THE GLORY HOME!!!

Perhaps this is simply a case of the indigenous folk.....

...wait for it....



"Taking their country back"....


all joking aside, this has been an ongoing issue for years... and it's something the citizens of Alaska have been clamoring for. It's what they wanted for their state. Ohio had nothing to do with this until 'their boy' got his name stripped from the map.

Well if I go by your logic, Football will soon have the
renamed Saint Louis Browns do to the "temporary"
status of our name!

Horse Hockey! You can have my Browns name when you unwrap it
from my cold, ahh nevermind!
