I wonder how hard it would have been for corrupt folks to throw a stack of extras in the box. All the caucus states seem to have shady, unexpected results.
Rubio also got 22% in Lexington, but he's low in the other counties.
Trump seems to do well in areas with open primaries and extreme government corruption. I wonder what this means.
Fox just called KY for Trump and cut to a commercial.
Any questions?
Why do you act so foolishly on all these threads? I will no longer respond to your foolish, harassing posts.
Exactly ...they already own Cruz through Goldman Sachs ... Cruz is playing this game for self enrichment and it just might work...Cruz is staying in to weaken Trump going into the convention , thereby allowing it to be brokered ...won’t matter , if they do it , the DIM will win and we will have Cruz to thank ...but just remember , Levin and Beck say Cruz is the Second Coming of Reagan , so it’s ok ..
Get ready for more unlimited open-borders , horrible traitorous trade deals, and conflict with Russia ...it’s on it’s way if Trump is denied
Trump underperformed the polls in every state today, and Cruz overperformed the polls in every state. A lot like Super Tuesday in that regard. As of right now, Cruz has 60 delegates and Trump has 46 delegates.
Cruz beat Trump in Kansas by almost 25 points and in Maine by over 13%. Trump is leading in Kentucky by less than 4% and in LA by a little over 4%.
Looks like a good day for Cruz...
Close finish. Once again Cruz way over performed. And trump inly gets 1 extra delegate over Cruz.
Looks like Cruz has a way to get the nomination.
Wherever there is a Caucus vs a ballot vote...
This doesn’t make sense. Kentucky had a caucus today but we filled out a paper ballot and dropped it in a box.>>> i think they renamed it a caucus so rand paul could run for senate and president. which is not allowed if it is called a primary.
We’ll see.
You need to change the channel
Kentucky has been called
List me the polls in Maine
I’d like to see those
One tight poll in KS
The rest were Trumps in KY and LA
But feel free to make it all up
All in what your goals are. Trump’s goal is 1256 delegates and he began the night 14% ahead of the pace. After tonight he’ll be 10% ahead of the pace and Cruz 40% behind.
I know which position I would rather be in.>>>
i can’t follow. can you post numbers and percentages. In your vocabulary is pace momentum?
In my vocabulary momentum is useless unless you are racking up the numbers. Trump is on pace-—actually ahead of it-—to win the nomination. Cruz is well behind the pace, still.
I guess it's a combination of these possibilities:
a. a lot of Dems are going for him. They're the moderate Dems. (This makes me say, "hmmm...moderates going for a so-called conservative, DT??")
or,
b. a lot of Dems are crossing because they know that Hillary has a better chance against Trump. (just as numerous polls indicate)
There may be other possibilities. Any ideas?
Trump led in the polls in LA by an average of 15.6 points - he will win by less than 4 points, from all appearances.
The last poll in KY had Trump leading by 13 points - again it looks like he will win by less than 4 points.
The last 2 polls in KS had Trump leading by 6 points and 12 points - he lost by almost 25 points.
No recent polls in Maine, but Cruz beats Trump in a NE state by over 13% - in a region of the country that is supposed to be Trump’s home turf.
Sorry if you don’t like that, but facts are facts.
Also, Trump won big in early voting in LA, but Cruz beat him in Election Day voting. That last debate really hurt him.
The wheels are falling off the Trump bandwagon. Conservatives are waking up and seeing him for the Liberal slime he is.
Once Rubio drops out, Cruz will start beating Trump in every state.
There was only one recent Kansas poll fairly tight...and yes once again in a caucus state Cruz does well
Maine last poll had Christie up
I don’t think Trump has ever won a primary or caucus by the margin of his polling aggregate
Not once since this started.
So the fact it happens again doesn’t signify a lot
It’s just more of the same
No doubt in primaries Cruz get out the vote is awesome and arguably the best funded and organized with motivators heavy presence at every caucus hall which was pretty evident in Iowa with the Carson subterfuge
Trump is way ahead and poised to stretch it out this week in winner take alls where once again he won’t win by as big as his poll margin but more than enough to win
Trump runs like a movement
I’m not aware of any Trump ground game to date just folks motivated from TV and social media
My wife worked polls in Franklin TN and saw a Cruz phalanx but no Trump operatives
That’s to Cruzs credit no question
It is a wry irony that now the donor class has to place their hopes on Cruz who they hate only second to Trump
I supported Cruz first before Trump entered
My wife is more put out with him.....Cruz.... than I am but she’d likely come around if he won outright....unlikely
If Trump loses because of shenanigans....which he’s already had to deal with more than candidate I’ve ever seen especially at the Fox debates
..,.,then I’m out
That’s how I see it
Hi gwjack. Looks like the race did tighten up, but DT won Jefferson County and the caucus.
Check RCP - two polls in the past couple of weeks. But even if you only want to consider the last one - Trump underperformed by 31 points (from +6 to -25).
My point is that Trump has consistently underperformed the polls - and usually by significant margins. So it is wise to take his bragging about the polls with a big grain of salt. And if the last Florida poll is anywhere close to accurate (Trump 35, Rubio 30), then Trump could be in real trouble down there. Ohio could be a problem for him as well, since he was only leading Kasich by 6 points in the last poll.
You are repeating back to me what I said
Trump doesn’t win by his poll margin and never has
Not once
It’s significant to you tonight but it’s no different than the whole primary season
And I have a decent reason why
Ground game for Cruz
Now we have a run of big mostly WTA primaries
I think Trump seals the deal
You think not
We shall see won’t we
If he gets most of the next 6-7 primaries it then goes northeast where he will do very well
this is actually already over
Fox and the heads are keeping it alive
