But in Ohio, Kasich, the state's incumbent governor, holds a six-point lead over Trump, 39 percent to 33 percent - followed by Cruz at 19 percent and Rubio at 6 percent.

Hopefully, NBC News is wrong, as always about Ohio. But Rubio looks like he's toast.

this would make Kashi# think he has a reason to move forward. He needs to lose.

soon we will see if the riot helped or hurt Trump.

Sure it won people like me to Trump’s side.

but there’s a lot of moderate f...ts who would do anything to avoid a confrontation and effect real change.

And there’s the headline reading ####s. and every headline in every traitor paper ####s trump.

We need a strategy to fight these outlets. bring them down. I’m just not smart enough to know how.

Should be an interesting night Tuesday.

Poll conducted before the Chicago riot, and Trump campaigning hard in Ohio, exposing Kasich as supporting NAFTA, etc., which has harmed Ohio job market.

Hopefully, all this will help Trump carry Ohio on Tuesday.

Do you think Cruz white knighted for BLM to get the crossover black vote in key primary states?

NBC/WSJ is definitely wrong about OH.

I think Trump is in a good position to run the table on March 15.

But even if he loses OH, he’s still well on the way to becoming the nominee because later contests play out on his home turf in the Northeast.

I’m afraid of the opposite. The riot will hurt Trump. It shouldn’t but people are squeamish.

No idea. I thought more along the BLM violent crazies were used to ensnare that foolish and feeble old man Sanders in a kook cult of his own making thereby ensuring the super delegates could not back a whack job like Sanders.

We’ll see.

When all is said and done though, nothing the establishment has done has stopped Trump.

Its like the old adage: you can’t beat something (or someone) with nothing and the #NeverTrump movement only can agree Trump is bad.

What they don’t offer is a viable alternative.

“It shouldn’t but people are squeamish.”

Most people are not squeamish, they are mad as hell.

It’s just a hunch, but I think that when it comes to Ohio, there is going to be a massive surge for Trump that could already be underway and undetected by any polling, I call it “The Dayton Effect”, watching that terrorist scumbag try to take out Trump this weekend is going to piss off voters and that will be reflected in how they vote Tuesday.

I’ll go out on a limb and say Trump over Kasich in Ohio by no less than 6 points.

March 4th-10th polling in all states. Does not fully include Trump’s wins on the 8th in MI and MS nor factor in at all the BLM riots and Cruz’s subsequent implosion. We’ll see how it plays out Tuesday but I thimk Trump can run the table. It’s interesting. Cruz is in Ohio and Florida and NC the next 2 days. He has no chance in any. Would have thought he’d be spending time in MO. Much more favorable to him.

There is a chance that it will hurt. But, we’ve seen the enrollment at Mizzou (Missouri Univ) drop, people are fed up with rioters and people demanding that we do what they say, and they are also tired of people always caving in to the demands of rioters.

Trump is going to win Florida, North Carolina, Illinois and Missouri.

He should win Ohio too, but it looks there are A LOT of dirty tricks.

http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/03/08/ohio-republican-ballot-creating-confusion/

Hence, why Kasich is so confident.

There is no loss to a favorite son. That is as it should be.

The favorite son then has some power to negotiate not only for himself but for his constituents.

Rubio is the anomaly. He lacks the juice to be a favorite son. And Jeb, poor ol jeb just didn’t have it any more at all.

Not much attention being paid to MO. 52 delegates, WTA, where IL is 69 but proportional. Trump also looks to do great in NC, with 72, also proportional, last poll had Trump at 48%. Even if he loses OH Trump could pickup about 250 delegates Tuesday.

MO is odd as far as delegate apportionment goes.

It’s WTA by Congressional District, but instead of getting 3 delegates like in every other state, you get 5 by winning a CD.

The remaining 12 delegates go to the statewide winner.

There is not much polling in MO, which has parts that are favorable to Trump and favorable to Cruz.
