MOGUL, REALITY STAR EMERGES AS GRANITE STATE’S “ANTI-BUSH”
|| By FITSNEWS || If Donald Trump‘s 2016 presidential campaign is a joke, somebody forgot to tell “Republicans” in early-voting New Hampshire.
The billionaire real estate mogul and reality television mega-star received the support of 11 percent of likely GOP primary voters in the Granite State, according to a new poll from Suffolk University. That puts him just behind establishment “Republican” frontrunner Jeb Bush, who received the support of 14 percent of likely primary-goers, and ahead of Wisconsin governor Scott Walker (8 percent), U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida (7 percent), retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson (6 percent) and New Jersey governor Chris Christie (5 percent).
“We continue to excel in the Granite State, where my message resonates strongly with the hard working people of New Hampshire, who like me, want to Make America Great Again,” Trump said in a statement from his campaign office.
“Jeb Bush continues to lead, but Donald Trump has emerged as an anti-Jeb Bush alternative in New Hampshire,” said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center in Boston. “Many of those who like Trump are voting for him, and although many more dislike him, the unfavorables are split up among many other candidates. It’s the politics of plurality.”
How does the rest of the field stack up in New Hampshire?
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and U.S. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky each drew four percent support, while former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee and Ohio governor John Kasich drew two percent support.
Six other candidates – former New York governor George Pataki, former Texas governor Rick Perry, former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and former Maryland governor Bob Ehrlich – collectively drew just four percent.
Meanwhile a whopping 29 percent of respondents indicated they were “undecided.”
For those of you keeping score at home, Suffolk surveyed 500 likely New Hampshire Republican presidential primary voters between June 18-22, 2015, using live telephone interviews and a split sample of landline and cell phone numbers. The survey’s margin of error is plus or minus 4.4 percent.

New Hampshire Republicans have been batshit crazy since being bitten by William Loeb, the Editor of the Manchester Union Leader more than 60 years ago. I remember his front-page editorials with BOLDFACE CAPS to emphasize his anti-communist rants.
The irony was that he had to run the paper from Massachusetts due to a warrant for his arrest if he ever set foot in NH. Our school newspaper routinely ran sarcastic parodies on its front page.
Republicans are real excitable.
If he is really going to run, I’d vote for him. He can;t be any worse than Obama.
Wanna bet?
Yeah, my thoughts exactly.
Yeah your thoughts exactly in that %@!#**!*@* faggot ass anal loving Grahamnesty lust filled grey matter of yours. LMAO!!! LMAO!!!
Wow. The enthusiasm you republicans have for your field is amazing! You realize you are seriously talking about having that stupid embarrassment of a person to represent our country on the world stage. Seriously, why do you hate America so much?
I’d no more vote for Trump than I would Hillary.
wtf……seriously???????????????? After Obama…………..Trump is the Man .Obama is a communist loving Muslim Socialist who hates america…..I wish he would sail off into the sunset to never be seen again in america…………maybe he will return to Chicago and his bath House friends Larry Sinclair might even show up to welcome Obammie back to his gay Old party
Trump will make sure Bush is NOT nominee.
No he won’t. Jeb – the first to speak out on the flag. An accomplished governor, a great family name. Trump – a moron with a floppy dyed haircut.
Give it a rest.Anybody but Bush defeats Hillary in a landslide.Why you racist socialists are on the Jeb bandwagon.
I’m the only racist socialist here! LMAO!!! LMAO!!!
You need to add a few ()#=::; and some @$$ and a &][| now and then.
Will do you dumb@$$ racist socialist Liberal-Tarian! LMAO!!! LMAO!!!
My lawyer says I only have to wait three days to get a new EBT card in the mail!
Haven’t been here in a while. What happened to GrandTango? I could not wait to read his thoughts on the flag coming down. Did his head finally explode?
Who knows, if gay marriage gets the Supreme Court stamp and Obamacare prevails as well it is a safe bet that he’s dead and gone if he doesn’t come back on here.
Bummer. Welp, no reason to visit this site anymore. Peace out.
Sort of
I never expected this. Even political analyst are now saying he is likely to leave Bush in the dust. I guess when you have as much money as he does, throwing a Billion Dollars into his campaign is hard to match. Then his message is strong. Bush has a bad history already. And the Clintons have lots of skeletons in their own closet that will degrade her to no end. Both Clintons are into the adult swinging thing. There are people who were close to them that stated such. Old bill is a know sexual predator, too. He is still at it – with teenage girls this time.
But get this, I bet if Trump does get elected, his Attorney Gen at the DOJ will bring indictments against Obama and his cronies. Now that would be AWESOME!!!!!
HaHaHaHaHaHa! What a joke the republicans have become.

Why do people laugh at Republicans? Only we don’t know! LMAO!!!
Not bad.My attorney said give it three days and I can get an Order of Protection.
Carry on.
Protection from what? Trolling isn’t illegal, if it were I’d be in jail! LMAO!!! LMAO!!!
If anyone needs an order of protection it is Buzz against Pogo.
The republicans are a joke and the democrats are running a socialist and an incompetent.
That will beat any member of your clown car come Election Day. Your only serious candidate has the wrong last name.
I’m not too crazy about his first name either. It fits more with Clampett than Bush.
Doesnt matter. He’s DOA in a general election.
If Honey Boo Boo enters the race, all bets are off.
For people who love bitching about liberal Hollywood, republicans sure do like electing shitty actors to office. This is no different. Republican voters may be the biggest marks in the world.
That skank Hillary is going to have a broom stick shoved up her fat ass and then broken off. Can see it coming.
What’s the matter, ma’am? A little butthurt that the flag now has swastika status?
Why does this smack of the whole T-Rav support thing to me?
Could it be that Will wants to appear on The Apprentice.
+100 that’s got to be it!
Because Trump pays Will for positive coverage just like TRav did.
I’m probably going to vote for Trump or Paul in the SC Republican solely because they have both come out for total no BS overhaul of the IRS and instituting a flat tax.
Please, please, please vote for Donald or Rand. Seriously, tell all your hillbilly friends to vote for them too. Get out there and hit the streets!
Trump is a birther. ‘Nough said.
nuff for me, gits my vote
He gets my vote, because it seems like the commies hate him the most.
I’m keeping an open mind about Trump. Want to to wait and hear some more of his thoughts and whether he likes Netanyaho. I can’t stand the guy and hate the fact we have duel Israeli Citizens with top foreign policy and treasury jobs in the US Govt and should be against the law or US constitutional policy.
11%
WoW!
Is anyone surprised that a clown steps out first from a clown car?
