Republican pollster Frank Luntz’s assessment that Donald Trump might be “impossible to take down” in the GOP primary seems a bit premature several months before the first primary, Save Jerseyans, but new results from Patrick Murray’s non-partisan Monmouth University Poll invite speculation.
In the critical “first in the South” South Carolina primary, Trump now garners 30% of likely voters. His closest competitor is Dr. Ben Carson at 15%, followed distantly by Jeb Bush (9%), Marco Rubio (6%), Carly Fiorina (6%), Ted Cruz (5%), and then Scott Walker (4%). Hometown U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham finds only 4% support while John Kasich, Mike Huckabee, and Rand Paul net 3% a piece.
Chris Christie? 2%.
“Political experience is not a particularly valuable commodity this primary season,” observed Murray.

Since Walker faded out I’m a Ted Cruz man, with Trump as a fallback option. And if the GOP nominates a Chamber stooge such as Jebba or Boobio, I’ll pull it for a Dem without much regret.

QUOTE FROM THE POLL “Trump wins very conservative (33 %), somewhat conservative (31%) And what happens if he becomes President and people finally figure out that Trump is NOT a conservative.
I support the most Conservative candidate that can WIN … Following the ideal of Bill Buckley
Dr. Ben Carson! The Country is very sick; we need a Doctor in office!!! #healinspirerevive #imwithben. Semper fi! Imagine what we could accomplish if we stop letting people divide us and we stop working together! #healinspirerevive Dr. Ben Carson for President! Shalom!!!
P.S. I believe that poll is falsified; Dr. Carson is in the top in S.C., along with above Hillary Clinton! May the best man win; heal us, good Dr., inspire us, good Dr., and revive us, good Dr. Ben Carson! Semper Shalom!!!
