Dont judge me because I sin differently than you.
If you want it sugar coated, dont ask me what i think! It would violate TOS.

Jim, forgive me for nitpicking but that is a 2 week average. It doesn't have a lot to do with what is actually happening today except that today's numbers are 7% of that. Paul was really low 2 weeks ago and it's entirely plausible that he is up near the top today as people get disgusted with the self proclaimed front runners.

I don't see any third party candidate as being viable.  If Trump ran, he's bleed off GOP voters.  I can see him suggesting a run as a way to get concessions from the RNC, but I have no idea what concessions he could get.
