I glanced at some of the other RCP national results and saw polls with many more respondents, but looking closer now I see the Republican portions contain comparable (albeit slightly higher) numbers. I guess 4.5-5.0 is pretty common on that level, so the thread title is harsher than necessary.

Because the margin of error renders the results practically meaningless. We have 8 candidates within the MoE.

Actually, there were Roman emperors that persisted in Arian views (those that viewed Jesus us subordinate to the Father) even after the Council of Nicaea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arianism).

A lot of this discussion on the Divinity of Christ and the Trinity was pondered over and established a long, long, time ago (for example, the First Council of Niceae in 325 AD). Some interesting resources:

I hope Paul keeps hammering anyone foolish enough to suggest doing this. Just last March, we had to patch our servers against the FREAK attack. This was a vulnerability where malicious actors could downgrade a user's connection to the weaker "export-grade" RSA encryption, which was forced on...

On the Virginia for Rand Paul Facebook page, they are still looking for volunteers to assist in collecting signatures (posted on November 11). Hopefully they're close. https://www.facebook.com/virginiaforrandpaul/posts/1016988241697674

On the positive side, these moves by Cruz will also make Rand more appealing to Cruz voters. If, at some point, Cruz ends up fading, Rand will be in a position to capitalize. I admit that in the near term, it muddies the waters...

Excellent! Thanks for sharing. This is exactly why I am so excited about Rand's potential. Of course, I wish he was polling more strongly at the moment, but it shows that a conservative-libertarian coalition (a conservatarian base) is a feasible strategy. Like Cuccinelli, I've lost patience...

Just saw this. Rubio seemed irritated at the question, which he never really answered. When Kilmeade pressed him on specific needs, he simply replies, "In everything." I was surprised to see Kilmeade press Rubio a bit. Rand scored some points last night, and I am eager to see how he...

This. Rubio's argument that more money directly equates a better military is naive (and the very same justification that liberals use for their pet programs). Rand touched on this, but I really think he should also direct the conversation to intelligent defense spending as a means to combat...

Looks like they did everyone: Huck 3% Christie 2% Pataki 1% Jindal 1% Santorum 1% Gilmore <1% Graham <1% Of interest, Rand is in 3rd (!) with voters under 45 (11%). He only has 2% for voters over 45. Everyone except Rubio is actually very close, regardless of age (just a point or two...
