Well after months of waiting for it to happen. It appears it finally has. Trump is dropping in the polls and Carson is beating him so Trump is whining about his polls saying he doesn't understand them. He goes onto MSNBC and attacks Carson with this:

"You know Ben wants to knock out Medicare. I heard that over the weekend, he wants to abolish Medicare. And I think, you know, abolishing Medicare. I don't think you're going to get away with that one. And it's actually a program that's worked," Trump said.

Donald Trump on poll slump, Ben Carson lead: 'I don't get it' - CNNPolitics.com

So why do conservatives want to vote for him again?

So...dedicated birther and Mexico's-sending-us-their-murderers-and-rapists Trump doesn't understand something? The mind boggles.
 
Trump cemented his support with a large section of the conservative base when he became King Birther.

In an Iowa poll and ONE CBS poll. In all the rest he still leads the pack by a large margin.

I just read on FB that it wouldn't matter if the sun disappeared - the newly-ex-solar system would just continue to orbit around Trump's ego. The question, though, is whether that's really an exaggeration....
 
I don't think anyone understands the polls.

You know, a couple years from now we're all going to look back and laugh at ourselves for making a big deal of Trump in exactly the same way we laugh at the ridiculous mullets we had in high school.

I don't think it is. But then I don't know of any of the great presidents (left or right identified) who didn't have a ginormous ego.

Well, either that or we'll be listening to the latest State of the Union Address from President Trump.

In a couple decades, we probably will say the same of the entire GOP.

Trump was never going to win Iowa anyway. Look at the Republican candidates who won Iowa in the last 2 elections. How well did that work out for them as the primary season progressed?

I have to give it to Trump. I don't recall a primary candidate getting this much attention. He's made a usually boring primary season very interesting.

Not sure why you ended your post with that question, though. What does how conservatives vote have to do with the subject of this thread?

Trump's base is hard right on immigration. Wouldn't they also be hard-right on medicare?

So you were asking why conservatives would vote for him based on medicare, not based on the thread subject (not understanding the drop in polls)?

I know a ton of conservatives here in NH. I don't know a single person voting for Trump.

I could vote for either Trump, who has experience in business or Cruz who knows government [and the Constitution] or Carson who has experience in neither.

There's ego...and then there's ego. I'd say Trump is much less of a Washington or Lincoln and much more of an Alexander or Julius Caesar. The first two began and preserved this nation, and the last two greatly expanded their respective empires. The difference, though, is that the last two not only left countless bodies in their wake, but they did it for their own glory. The first two did not do it for their own glory. That, sir, is the difference.

Unless Republicans plan on moving from rural areas into the Pacific Ocean, that seems unlikely. Otherwise you can look forward to Republican-held Houses for some time yet.
