Where are things as we slither slowly into the first August of the 2016 campaign season?
Nationally, in the past six polls the “Joker” of GOTP comedy – “The Donald” – has not only taken the lead, but is holding it in spite of outlandish comments.

Ted Cruz, the Junior Senator for Ottawa 9%
Rand Paul and Mike Huckabee 6%
Marco Rubio 5%

Carson, Rubio, and Kasich 5%
Paul 3%

Latest 2016 Presidential Polls – 16 May 2015 Edition
Rolling, rolling, rolling – The 2016 Presidential Election season rolls on – the Republican Tea Party (GOTP) clown car continues its wild ride while the “Scooby Mobile” has competition from Bernie Sanders.
Where are things in these early moments of the 2016 campaign?
Nationally, a Fox News poll continues to prove just how big of a joke the so-called news agency and its’ viewers are, declaring, among other comical tidbits, that Mike Huckabee – the snake oil salesman of miraculous diabetes cures, is “seen as more ethical than most,” of all the GOTP candidates.
The “poll,” conducted by telephone of “registered voters” from 9-12 May 2015, has Jeb Bush tied with Ben Carson at 13% each, Scott Walker 11%, Mike Huckabee 10%, Marco Rubio 9%, Rand Paul 7%, Ted Cruz and Chris Christie 6%, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum and John Kasich at 2%, while Bobby Jindal and Carly Fiorina bring up the rear at 1%.
On the Democratic side, the same “poll” has Hillary Clinton in a commanding lead of undeclared candidates with 63%, followed by Elizabeth Warren (who has declared she is not running) at 13%, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders 6%, Jim Webb 2% and Martin O’Malley at 0%
This same so-called “poll” – if used to see how things stack up if the General Election was today – has Bush overcoming a double-digit deficit from a month ago beating Clinton – no bias of course from a “news” organization like Fox News. In fact, according to Fox News, all of the GOTP contenders suddenly have overcome devastating numbers to all become contenders against Hillary – at this point, nothing but a dream Fox, nothing but a dream.
Bush 45/Clinton 44
Clinton 47/Huckabee 44
Clinton 48/Walker 42
Clinton 47/Rubio 43
Clinton 48/Cruz 43
Clinton 48/Carson 42
According to recent polling data available, if the election was today Hillary Clinton would be the 45th President of the United States, except for one group, which thinks Jeb Bush should be president, and the others would be footnotes in history books.
