Only the fraction that goes to abortions. Funding for other services remains.

Yep. As it should be.

Abortions before the 2nd trimester are so cheap only the poorest women would need a grant.

The whole Trump push is really Dems wanting the GOP to elect an easier opponent for the president. It reminds me of 2007 when i was on here pushing for the Dems to elect this unknown, inexperienced, unaccomplished individual who had questionable associates and friends. Oops...

Well, unlike you, most political analysts in 2007 thought Obama would be a tough candidate for Republicans to run against. So all you have proven is that you are god awful at assessing the potential of political candidates.

Furthermore the fact that the Republican party would even consider nominating a proven rac.ist like Trump says something about the modern day Republican party.

LOL. That's funny. Thanks for the laugh.

Trump is rac1.st now? Wow... All you have done is proven that you're a complete Obamatron that listens to m0r0ns on MSNBC/NBC and have no rationale thinking capabilities.. Typical.

Sad news for Trump fans.

Again, based on his positions in the past and his political contributions in the past he is much more suited to run in the Dem primary thn the GOP primary. I still think he's messing with everyone and just promoting himself.

Romney remains the frontrunner and since Huck is not going to run, Romney leads the pack with a pretty huge lead.

Romney will not pick up many of Huckabee's supporters. There is a strong anyone-but-Romney element. No one likes that phoney loser. LOL, I remember a hilarious NH Union-ledger editorial that slammed him for being a "cardboard cutout" characature of a republican candidate.

not really, we know what outliers are

This poll looks like a bit of an outlier for the GOP primary polling, considering the number for Trump is completely different from pretty much every other poll.

6% MOE is also very large

Taken 10 days later than the Gallup poll showing him leading. Like we've been saying all along, as the facts come out, his support will drop.

[axt113]

Rasmussen's poll was during the same period, and it showed him leading as well, hence why I said this one is probably an outlier

[Dave WI]

Right, but according to you guys, Rassmussen is crap.

You can't compare this poll to the Gallup one and call it an outlier, because so much stuff has come out about Trump between now and then.
