Discussion for article #238498
So, according to this poll, John Ellis Bush is the frontrunner in Virginia.
TPM, how do you justify this headline without any comparison to previous polling in Virginia?
The survey by Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling
Of for fuck’s sake Caitlin Cruz. PPP is not “Democratic leaning”. It is affiliated with Democratic groups but does not have a bias for Democrats, and is actually one of the more accurate polling outfits around (check out Nate Silver’s run down in you need to) and actually has a R +0.7 “lean”. So if anything, PPP is Republican leaning.
I expect this kind of shitty reportage at other websites, not here.
And here is a link to the actual poll (since Ms. Cruz deemed it not relevant to include a link to it).

What stood out to me wasn’t Peak Trump, but this:
Dr. Ben Carson > Huckabee, Rubio, Cruz and Paul
Ben Carson is a frickin’ nutjob. Different sort of nutjob from Trump, but still - a true nutjob.
