Donald Trump on poll slump: 'I don't get it'

[spanone]

well donald, maybe everything's not quite as 'tremendous' as you think it is?

Washington (CNN)Donald Trump said he doesn't understand his recent drop in polls, but he continued his attacks on Ben Carson, who has knocked him from the top spot in Iowa and -- in at least one survey -- nationwide among Republicans.

"I don't get it," Trump said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Tuesday. "I'm going there (to Iowa) actually today and I have tremendous crowds and I have tremendous love in the room and, you know, we seem to have hit a chord. But some of these polls coming out, I don't quite get it. "

Trump kept up his attacks on Carson, who is beating him handily in a series of four polls from Iowa and as of Tuesday morning overtook the top spot nationwide in the latest CBS News/New York Times poll.

"You know Ben wants to knock out Medicare. I heard that over the weekend, he wants to abolish Medicare. And I think, you know, abolishing Medicare. I don't think you're going to get away with that one. And it's actually a program that's worked," Trump said.

1. Maybe...

2. Actually, I don't know which of those two I would want to win - they are both nuts

but in different ways.

3. I love it when narcissists like Trump

are forced in any way to see reality. The look of complete surprise was evident on his face.

I think he really doesn't get it, he can't figure out why someone as incredible as him isn't pulling off an all out win in the Primary.

I'll bet that he seriously thinks he can win the full slate of electoral votes.

It's hilarious to watch them fall apart when they finally figure out everything they believe is complete bullshit.

4. When I buy a poll I expect it to stay bought

5. Corn may be stupid but not as stupid as Trump to say so to Iowan GOP'ers who bathe in both.

13. how do we explain carson leading nationally? is the gop able to manipulate the polling?

is carson REALLY appealing to republicans coast to coast? carson is crazier than trump imho

[edhopper]

6. what Trump doesn't get

is that Tea Party Wingnuts hate programs like Medicare.

7. yea, they hate it until they need it.

9. No they even hate it then. They can be rushed to the ER and will still be heard complaining

about how much Obama wastes their hard(ly) earned money. At this point it is pathological for most of the GOP voters. IMO.

8. Trump does good until he goes off script.

The assholes that vote GOP don't want to hear Trump say Medicare works and is good. They want to hear more of that 'destroy gummit' bullshit they slurp it up like a frosty.

So the reason your numbers go down...is because sometimes you slip up and forget you are running as a Repuke scumbag.

11. He out crazied you Donald

[Johonny]

14. But Ben wants to knock out medicare while having a sincere feeling about God

apparently with certain voters the belief is more important than all the shitty things you'll do in God's name. That is your base Donald: vain, short sighted, amoral, and dumb enough to fall for Ben Carson. Who wants to be a member of the GOP?
