Poll: Donald Trump takes double-digit lead over the GOP presidential field

The Pundits Seem to under estimate how much the base hates McCain 

POSTED 2:59 PM, JULY 20, 2015, BY CNN AND AARON HEPKER, UPDATED AT 04:14PM, JULY 20, 2015

AMES, Iowa – Donald Trump ignited a political furor with his weekend comments about Sen. John McCain’s war record, but the first polling released since then shows no change in his standing.

A Monmouth University poll of Iowans released Monday and conducted over the weekend showed Scott Walker continues to maintain a solid lead in the Iowa Republican caucus, though Trump has gained an edge over the rest of the field and now stands alone in second place.

Of likely caucus attendees, 22% told pollsters that they’d support the Wisconsin governor in next winter’s matchup, but 13% said they would back Trump, who has suddenly catapulted to the front of some national polls. Trump only earned 4% of Republicans’ support in a Des Moines Register/Bloomberg survey conducted in May, a month before Trump announced his campaign and made a string of controversial comments that came alongside his rise.

Poll: Donald Trump takes double-digit lead over the GOP presidential field

By Neetzan Zimmerman

Donald Trump is soaring over his GOP rivals in a new nationwide Washington Post/ABC News poll conducted amid his controversial comments about Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) “war hero” status.

According to the just-released poll, Trump — with 24 percent support among likely Republican voters — holds a comfortable, double-digit lead over nearest competitor Scott Walker, who captures 13 percent support.

Jeb Bush, Mike Huckabee, and Sen. Marco Rubio round up the top 5 with 12, 8, and 7 percentage points of support, respectively. Sen. Rand Paul, meanwhile, sits in sixth place with 5 percentage points.

Despite his seemingly frontrunner-like numbersand a significant 20 point bump since the lastWashington Post/ABC News poll was taken in May, the poll’s authors said Trump suffered a considerable drop following his remarks about McCain on Saturday.

Trump : McCain has abandoned our veterans. I will fight for them.

Trump: I don’t need to be lectured
EDT July 19, 2015

John McCain has called his own constituents who want a secure border “crazies.”  No one in the news media or the establishment, including theRepublican National Committee, criticized the senator for those comments.

Now, as respected reporter Sharyl Attkisson has proved point by point, the news media are also distorting my words. But that is not my point. McCain the politician has failed the state of Arizona and the country.

During my entire business career, I have always made supporting veterans a top priority because our heroes deserve the very best for defending our freedom. Our Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals are outdated dumps. I will build the finest and most modern veterans hospitals in the world. The current medical assistance to our veterans is a disaster. A Trump administration will provide the finest universal access health care for our veterans. They will be able to get the best care anytime and anywhere.

Thanks to McCain and his Senate colleague Bernie Sanders, their legislation to cover up the VA scandal, in which 1,000+ veterans died waiting for medical care, made sure no one has been punished, charged, jailed, fined or held responsible. McCain has abandoned our veterans. I will fight for them.

The reality is that John McCain the politician has made America less safe, sent our brave soldiers into wrong-headed foreign adventures, covered up for President Obama with the VA scandal and has spent most of his time in the Senate pushing amnesty. He would rather protect the Iraqi border than Arizona’s. He even voted for the Iran Nuclear Review Act of 2015, which allows Obama, who McCain lost to in a record defeat, to push his dangerous Iran nuclear agreement through the Senate without a supermajority of votes.

McCain, Trump Controversy our two cents

trump_ralley_theridgewoodblog

Yesterday Republican National Committee (RNC) responded to the John McCain ,Donald Trump controversy and we have responded to them .

WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chief Strategist and Communications Director Sean Spicer released the following statement in response to Donald Trump’s comments:
 
“Senator McCain is an American hero because he served his country and sacrificed more than most can imagine. Period. There is no place in our party or our country for comments that disparage those who have served honorably.”

we respond……
John McCain may have been a war hero but he dose not have a right to continue to disparage voters and act like a jerk , that’s the issue. If he is going to continue to play the “hero” card then he should start acting like one. We also agree with  Donald Trump in that McCain needs to apologize end of story .

As for the RNC despite the fact of a landslide Victory in the last election , the Republican Majority has nothing to show for it what so ever !  Far more energy should be devoted to creating compelling policy and better marketing of that policy than attacking Republicans who don’t tow the inside the beltway party line. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is getting a bit old.
