Bursting of the trump bubble, the ending of his carnival candidacy, and passage of trump s white house ambitions into the night like those of michele bachmann and herman cain. right now there is a new poll that shows trump losing, but unfortunately for the republican establishment, he is losing to ben carson. they did matchups, republican primary voters prefer trump to senator marco rubio by 8 points, they prefer trump to scott walker by 14 points and they prefer trump to jeb bush by 25 points, but they prefer dr. ben carson to donald trump, 49% to 43%. what might explain carson s edge? evangelical republicans. but he loses evangelicals against others.
