HILTON HEAD, S.C. (Reuters) - Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump filled a hotel ballroom with over 2,000 people for a rally on Wednesday, attracting die-hard supporters as he has in other cities, but was dogged by a rival who is also very popular in South Carolina: Ted Cruz.
A dozen people interviewed by Reuters said the Texas senator offered a strong alternative to the loud-mouthed New York businessman, though more than half still planned to vote for Trump.
"If he doesn't drop out of the race, I'm definitely going to vote for him," Daniel Barrett, 48, said of Trump. When asked why he added the caveat about Trump staying in the race, Barrett said: "He might be rallying the troops for someone else, for Cruz."
Barrett said his ideal presidential ticket would be Trump, with Cruz as his running mate. "I like Donald Trump's bold, straightforward America theme," he said. "But Cruz, I think, is very articulate. He's solid on the issues."(continued)

“more than half still planned to vote for Trump.”
I planned to marry Morgan Fairchild and live on a yacht.
I planned to marry Morgan Fairchild and live on a yacht.
And they only talked with/interviewed TWELVE people; of which, more than 1/2 are voting for Trump. LOL
Once more Trump is crushed. lol
I’ll take one of your Morgans and one of your yachts. You can’t have two.;
Just more Bush related wishful thinking.
At a Trump rally...
What a stupid article. What’s up with Townhall? I’ve never read anything from them that was informative or inspiring. Didn’t they used to be a true conservative forum?
How’d that work out for ya?
(Happy New Year, Vet! Hope the medical situation is improving...)

Also, it is interesting that about half the people interviewed at the Trump rally were voting Cruz.
Indeed.
I was just going to write, “what a pointless, idiotic article.”
TRUMP ON TOP and TRUMP TO THE TOP!
“Texas senator offered a strong alternative to the loud-mouthed New York businessman, “
Can’t imagine they aren’t cheerleading for anyone. Not at all....yeah.
I need to remind everyone that our own Sarah Palin drew huge crowds as McCain’s running mate, and they lost the election.
Perot drew large crowds, also.
The size of the crowds before a primary are nice, but the primaries will tell the tale.
There are a certain segment of the population that went to rallies for all 3 of these people, just to hear if they were going to say something outrageous.
I am a Cruz supporter, but I do like Sarah and I do like Trump, but some people go to hear them just for the theatre
On Wednesday, Trump brought up Cruz’s call for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, saying it was clear Cruz was trying to copy him.

An absolutely stunning and totally unexpected response. Imagine, most folks at a Trump rally planned to vote for Trump. I’m left gasping for air at this surprise.

But seriously, do some of these writers run out of things to write about and suddenly, in desperation come up with WTF stuff such as this?
You think that’s a stupid article? Look here:
Why Ted Cruz Fans refuse to look at his character flaws

You are wrong again as usual! Trump has said many times that a wall has been talked about in the past but it couldn’t/wouldn’t be built because of the EPA and an EIS.
So... Cruz was the elephant in the room?
