Apparently Trumps has risen again in the polls.

Outfront with Erin Burnett will be covering it on CNN. Maybe the 1% will finally have some insight into how tough life can be when thing don't go your own way all the time. Donald at 32%, Carson at 22%, Rubio at 10% and then the rest at 7% or below.

Edited: to remove my laughter. Not funny.

I laughed at the idea of W becoming President in 2000. 8 nightmarish years later, I knew better than to ever laugh again at the ludicrous candidates on the right. One of them will be the nominee, and stands a roughly even chance of winding up in the White House.

Justin Trudeau and the Liberals won the election here Monday I felt huge relief that we got our country back. I rarely laughed at Harper. You are right. Erin Burnett did point out that Trumps negatives with independants are high. That is something to hold onto...since the elections are won on the margins.
