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

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.

(65,616 posts)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.

(20,847 posts)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?
