speaking of delivery, kudos to the deadpan nature of those hearings. and that s your morning dish of scrambled politics. time to welcome in political reporter erin mckite, thanks for being here. good morning, erin. thank you. so donald trump s proposal to ban muslims from entering the u.s. is actually galvanizing his supporters, his lead is widening in south carol sna? we re seeing this in polls both in states, early states and nationally, he s rising in one poll that i say he came down from about 43% to 33% this week. but look, he s still above 30% in most of these polls. i m not really sure why people are continuing to talk about him running as an independent, because he is dominating in these republican polls with republican voters. so at this point, he s going to be on top of the polls for about five months, as of sometime next week. anybody else crushing that much,
