CNN Releases Criteria For December 15 Republican Presidential Debate

11/21/2015

0 Comments

 
There are three ways to qualify for the prime time debate being held on December 15.

  1. Candidate polling average is at 3.5% or above in national polls.
  2. Candidate polling average is at 4% or above in Iowa polls.
  3. Candidate polling average is at 4% or above in New Hampshire polls.

This is the first time that polls from Iowa and New Hampshire will be used to determine if a candidate is in the debate. 

The polls that have been released between  October 29 - December 13 will be used by CNN to determine the candidates that will be in the debate. If a poll is released on December 13, it must be released by 5 pm.

​There will also be an under card debate. If a candidate fails to make the prime time debate they could be in the under card debate 
as long as the candidate reaches at least 1% in four separate Iowa, New Hampshire or national polls.

Could the 2016 Republican Presidential ticket be Trump/Cruz? Well if Donald Trump is the nominee which it seems very possible right now he would select Ted Cruz as the Vice President.

According to Lifezette, when asked about Ted Cruz being Vice President, Donald Trump told them “Ted Cruz is now agreeing with me 100 percent.” He also told  Laura Ingraham that he likes him. However Trump stated on Monday that if Ted Cruz came close to Trump in the polls he would have to start attacking him. Unlike the other 2016 candidates, Cruz is one of the only candidates that has not attacked Trump yet.

Bobby Jindal Drops Out of 2016 Presidential Race

11/18/2015

0 Comments

 
Yesterday on Fox News Bobby Jindal made the surprising announcement that he will be suspending his campaign for President. Jindal's campaign was seen as a long shot campaign. Jindal told Bret Baier that “the reality is this isn’t my time.” 

​Nationally Bobby Jindal was always polling in the low single digits, sometime even below 1%. Jindal based his whole campaign on doing well in Iowa, the Real Clear Politics Iowa average had him polling at 3.3% which was seventh place. With Jindal out of the race it leaves 14 Republican candidates left.

Donald Trump Crushing Opponents, Marco Rubio And Ted Cruz On Rise In Latest 2016 New Hampshire Poll

Election 2016 Gravis Marketing New Hampshire Republican Presidential Primary Poll 

  • Donald Trump – 29%
  • Ted Cruz – 12%
  • Marco Rubio – 10%
  • Jeb Bush 8%
  • Chris Christie – 8%
  • Ben Carson – 7%
  • John Kasich – 5%
  • Rand Paul – 5%
  • Carly Fiorina – 4%
  • Mike Huckabee – 1%
  • Bobby Jindal – 1%
  • Lindsey Graham – 0%
  • George Pataki – 0%
  • Rick Santorum – 0%
  • Undecided – 9% 
​
Gravis Marketing asked 330 registered Republican primary voters for this poll. The poll was conducted on November 11, 2015. The margin of error is ± 5.4%.

A few points should be made about this poll, Donald Trump continues to hold a strong lead in New Hampshire. This poll shows him with a 17 point lead over the other candidates. This is the strongest showing out of any state for Donald Trump. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio both made large gains in the state. In a previous Gravis Marketing poll, Rubio was at 8% and Cruz was at 5%. Jeb Bush has been consistent in the high single digits. These are disappointing numbers for Bush seeing that he has spent million on ads in this state. Chris Christie also has seen a bump in the polls, going from 3% to 8% in the latest Gravis poll. Basically all the other candidates have went down in the polls in New Hampshire or have stayed relatively the same.

Congressman Steve King Endorses Ted Cruz For President

11/16/2015

0 Comments

 
Iowa Republican Congressman Steve King today announced his endorsement of Texas Senator Ted Cruz for President. He made this announcement at a press conference and through a video.

Steve King said, "I believe Ted Cruz is the candidate that's the answer to my prayers." He also stated about Ted Cruz, "A candidate whom God will use to restore the soul of America."

The strength of Congressman King endorsement is still unknown. Steve King is a very popular and strong principled conservative and getting his endorsement is important for the Iowa Caucus which is the first Presidential primary contest for the election season. Iowa tends to make or break a campaign for President, Ted Cruz really has to do well in Iowa to keep his campaign moving. It should be noted that Steve King endorsed Fred Thompson in 2008 and remained neutral in 2012. In 2008 Mike Huckabee won the Iowa Caucus and Rick Santorum won Iowa in 2012. Both are running for President this year but are polling poorly.

Ted Cruz posted the following on Facebook, his post also included the video of the endorsement. 

I am beyond honored to receive Congressman Steve King's endorsement. Steve is a tremendous leader in the House and one...

Ben Carson Pokes Fun At CNN On Facebook

11/10/2015

0 Comments

 
In what has been an interesting week for Ben Carson, Carson posted a picture on Facebook making fun of the news coverage that he has been receiving from the liberal media especially CNN. Ben Carson has accused the media of trying to take down his candidacy for President by challenging and making inaccurate claims about his past. He accuses the media of trying and failing to find dirt on him which is now forcing the media to having to settle on nonsense issues to try to make him look bad.

In the Facebook picture it says "CNN Breaking News: In the fall of 1962, Ben Carson checked out a library book and returned it two days late."

UPDATE: After we made this post, Ben Carson released another Facebook picture where he now took on the reporting of Huntington Post  about his campaign for President. In that picture it says, "Breaking News: Latest, In college, Ben Carson threw away a glass bottle in the "paper products only" receptacle."

0 Comments

 
Some information about Jeb Bush's Super PAC on their tactics to take down Marco Rubio has been released. The Super PAC wants to use millions of dollars on negative campaign ads against Rubio. The Super PAC supposedly  has two ads ready to be aired. In one ad they attack Marco Rubio for missing Senate votes, this issues Jeb Bush attacked Rubio on in the last debate and it did not go so well for Jeb Bush. In the second ad, they attack Rubio for being too pro life.

In response to this new information that the Rubio campaign received they released a 30 second ad called "Before The Phony Attacl" where they show clips of Jeb Bush praising Marco Rubio.
