Donald Trump is preparing for tonight’s big Republican debate in his usual manner: going on Twitter to trash talk the host news organization and rail against reality.
The Donald posted this message Wednesday morning:
After a great evening and packed auditorium in Iowa, I am now in Colorado looking forward to what I am sure will be a very unfair debate!

Trump’s major complaint, it seems, is that news networks are talking about all those polls showing him way behind Ben Carson in the key early voting state of Iowa — polls which Trump has said he doesn’t believe — as well as the one recent CBS/New York Times poll that even showed him falling behind Carson nationally. Indeed, this has so thrown Trump off his game that he’s taken to using a (perfectly cromulent) word like “fictious.”
.@CNBC continues to report fictious poll numbers. Number one, based on every statistic, is Trump (by a wide margin). They just can’t say it!

However, it seems he’s starting to calm down enough to correct his diction. Let’s see if he can keep it up tonight.
Does anybody think that @CNBC will get their fictitious polling numbers corrected sometime prior to the start of the debate. Sad!
