Donald Trump is Polling Second in Iowa and the National GOP Poll. Is he losing Momentum?

I think it's part of the ebb and flow leading up to the election.

Hopefully, and I am a conservative.

It was bound to happen. Yes, I see this as the beginning of the end for Trump. Why? Because he's going to be Trump, and come out swinging insults and lies about Dr. Carson like he does about everyone. He will attack Dr. Carson's religion, fabricate or embellish differences in their platforms, etc. Meanwhile, Dr. Carson will do what he's been doing, and continue to refuse to get in the businesses of mudslinging with other Republicans, which is one of the many reason's why he is appealing to the evangelicals in Iowa and his support will continue to grow. With Trump having such astronomical unfavorable ratings, when the flies start to drop out of the race, Trump's numbers will continue to decline, while others rise.

This is turning into a Bizaro campaign. We're everything is backwards. I remember Giuliani being high in the poles, than flaming out. And Fred Thompson did the same. Trump should have been out a long time ago. He says something so asinine like talking to Jebs mother. And nothing.

I think it is. His flash in the pan is burning out. Now let's get down to serious business.

Just a wave of peaks and dips that is politics. We have well over 400 days until the election.

I am registered as independent. I have some issues that I am very conservative on, some issues that I am very liberal on, but mostly I just want the government to abide by the constitution. I think that Trump's numbers are slipping because his bluster, at first seen as refreshing, is starting to make people realize that he really is all about the publicity, and not about substance. I do think that we need a Washington Outsider in the office, but not him. I am starting to feel like the DNC and RNC are working together. Why else would they put Hillary Clinton and the baggage she brings to the table as the best option? Why else would Donald Trump be leading among the Republican candidates. Personally I would not want either one of them with control over the United States Nuclear Arsenal, nevermind Commander In Chief of our armed forces.

SPC Andrew Griffin it's far too early to know. The fact is all political races are cyclical and we won't know for another year.

I would certainly hope so; Trump's lacking in the temperament the Presidency requires, not very specific with what his plans are and I don't think he's a real conservative on a variety of issues.

Watch ESPN 30 for 30: Small Potatoes (How Trump's ego single-handedly destroyed the USFL). Then read anything about or by Trump from more than two years ago and he will be seen for the pure egotist that he is. He stands for nothing but his own self advancement.

SPC Andrew Griffin - Spec; Considering that the four "mainstream" Republican contenders can't even muster the amount of support that Mr. Trump has even if you added all their support together and it also looks like Dr. Carson couldn't get elected on a bet, it looks like "momentum" isn't all that important to Mr. Trump.

On the other hand, there is still another thirteen months to go in the Presidential Election Race, so anything could happen. Who knows the horse may even learn to sing.
