Yeah. One pic displays the results of a poll published by the Washington Post, the other a poll published by the Wall Street Journal. I don't think the sequence in which candidates are listed matters.

Poor choice of words from the author. The point is, they're placing him lower in the order than he actually is, according to the poll numbers. And they've done it multiple times...

They all say he's too old. I don't get it. They say he'll die in office. I don't care. Why is that a problem? If the guy's got his faculties what's the big deal? It's not like Pence is going to be his VP, or Palin, or Cheney, or Quayle...

How do you keep supporting him, when he let Clinton cheat him in the primaries last time around? I had hope for awhile that he was just quiet while it was investigated, but he just let it go.

That recent 'minimum wage' shit-show with his staff was pretty damning too...

The 'Walsh Question' 'What Is A Woman?' I'll put an answer here when someone posts one that is clear and comprehensible, by apostates to the Faith.

Update: I've been offered one!

Tucker Carlson: "White supremacy is not a real problem in America."
Forty Two: "Racism is very unpopular in America."

Two days after a white supremacist massacres 22 people, white supremacist Tucker Carlson says white supremacy is a hoax.
