Politifact is sweating over stock footage. You'd think with just about everything Trump has said, they wouldn't need to stoop to that level!

The Washington Post fact-checker, Glenn Kessler, couldn't seem to find any stories that reported anything about Muslims in New Jersey celebrating after 9/11, even though the initial reports on those celebrations, by Muslims, was reported in none other than...the Washington Post itself!

He was being dishonest or stupid--one or the other.

Therefore, can he be trusted with anything?

Interesting that Trump has a commanding lead even among conservative evangelicals and women.

That surprised me, considering how so many here have characterized Trump as a foul-mouthed racist, a democrat, and a misogynist.

But, if those charges were true, what could account for his popularity among Christians and women?

The poll is a sample of adults, not registered voters, nor likely voters so take it with a grain of salt.

I agree. But, I contend that Obama's actions will continue to energize some of those adults to get involved, register, and get to the polls.

Center-right Americans outnumber the looney left, and always has.

GOP frontrunner Donald Trump remains far ahead of his fellow GOP rivals, with 35 percent support in a recent NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) came in second with 18 percent, while Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) ranked third at 13 percent support.

Trump holds the lead with support from both men and women out of the GOP field. Thirty-nine percent of men support Trump while 21 percent of men support Cruz and 13 percent of men support Rubio.

The real estate mogul holds 29 percent support from female voters. Both Cruz and Rubio hold 13 and 14 percent among women....
