Well, to start, Cruz fans have a lot more room to spread out at rallies.

By the way, going to Al Hunt as a source makes one look desperate.

Would love to read, but it is behind a pay wall.

An incredibly stupid premise, that by its very nature cannot produce worthwhile results. .

That worked.
Article seems pretty accurate to me about the differences between them both.

Mehuge’s Google roundabout worked for me and my iPad.
Your link, even though it took me to the story, within 2 seconds the paywall
came up.
Didn’t do that with the Google workaround.
Can’t say why.

I ‘like’ how Cruz has supporters, but Trump has fans.

No bias there???

Yet Selzer finds interesting differences. Three out of five Cruz backers say social issues are “extremely” important to them. Two in five Trump supporters say the same thing. Similarly, 84 percent of Cruz backers say a candidate’s values matter a lot, a third more than Trump voters. Cruz supporters are much more likely to describe themselves as deeply religious.

Trump’s flock is more geared to the economy and his promise to bring it back. Taxes, for example, are “extremely important” to the majority of Trump backers. Not so for Cruz people. Enthusiasm for gun rights, according to the Selzer survey, also resonates more with the Trump brigade.

There are some hard-to-explain findings. Among Republicans who expect to attend a caucus, Trump beats Cruz among those who make more than $100,000 and less than $50,000. Cruz does better with those in between.

Well, we always say there are a lot more low information voters than informed voters. The photo proves it.

(Yes, it’s a joke!!!!)

Cruz policies are long on specifics and substance and don’t end with “amazing”.

When I use my normal browser (Firefox with four security add-ons), I see no paywall. When I use another browser that has scripting enabled and no special security add-ons, I get blocked by the paywall. It looks like NoScript (my main security add-on) is probably blocking the script that throws up the paywall.
