The Liar: A Love Story

I cannot believe that I will be posting yet another piece about Donald Trump……I cannot say that I appreciate much that he has to say but I will give him his props when he tells the truth, something not many can do within the GOP……

In a recent debate Trump pointed out that the Iraq war was started on lies and for that piece of truth he, Trump, has been demonized by the Right and the result of that attack has given us a new national GOP front runner……

Has attacking George W. Bush backfired big time for Donald Trump? According to the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC poll, voters are turning away from Trump and he now trails Ted Cruz 28% to 26% among GOP primary voters, with Marco Rubio in third at 17% and John Kasich fourth with 11%. Ben Carson is fifth with 10% and Jeb Bush is last with just 4%. The poll—which found that both Cruz and Rubio would defeat Trump in head-to-heads—was conducted after Saturday’s ferocious GOP debate and contradicts other recent polls, including one that gives Trump a massive lead in South Carolina. In warning signs for Trump, his support has dropped sharply among women and “traditional values” conservatives, the Journal notes.

It has been months since the WSJ/NBC poll had anybody other than Trump in the lead, and pollsters say the surprise result could be a blip—or an early sign of changes to come. “When you see a number this different, it means you might be right on top of a shift in the campaign,” Republican pollster Bill McInturff says. “What you don’t know yet is if the change is going to take place or if it is a momentary pause before the numbers snap back into place.” He says the post-debate slump may be “a ‘pause’ as Republican voters take another look at Trump. This happened earlier this summer and he bounced back stronger.”

Does this point to the fact that the Right had rather be lied to or just a love for the bumbling Texan, GW?

Of course this is one poll of many and I am sure that it tells only a momentary story……but I do find it interesting that GOPers do not like the truth….apparently they prefer to be lied to by their candidates…..

Pretty lame excuse for picking your nominee…..on a lie!

Thoughts?
