The real story:

Cruz would win a state that Ronald Reagan couldn’t even win; Trump would get crushed.

Yay! Cruz may win Texas, Minnesota, and California.

Even though to undecideds are winning in MN right now, California is within the margin of error, and Texas varies by which poll is used.

MN was the only state that didn’t vote to re-elect Reagan.

There is a cautionary tale here for those who will listen. I know so many friends both democrats and republicans who voted for Jesse Ventura because it felt do darned good to vote for someone who was willing to call out the politicians. He was loud and rude and bombastic and the professional politicians didn't know how to handle him. Minnesota elected a mouthy celebrity because it felt so good to let the politicians have in spades.

People who had never voted before came out of the woodwork to vote for their favorite celeb, and Humphrey came in a sad third. Those were interesting times.

People talk about how odd this presidential election is; to Minnesotans it is eerily familiar.

What the hell triggered that tirade? I don’t ever remember having any interaction with you in the past. What about me posting a Minnesota poll set you off?

Desperation has sunk in when Cruz supporters cling to a Star Tribune poll to make a case for their candidate. Perhaps this poll was overrepresentative of Somali immigrants in Minneapolis, but in the real world, Trump is up by 17...

Carson 31% 50%

That is incredible. My gosh. Carson is the nicest man on Earth. I can’t imagine 50 percent hate him. What’s to hate? Disagree with him? Perhaps. Need to wake up? Definitely. Not ready for Presidency? Maybe. But hate him? No way 1/2 of America hates this man.

You’re citing an anonymous blog (overtimepolitics.com) that didn’t even exist until last month as your pollster?

It was not love - hate.

It was favorable - unfavorable.

Maybe the unfavorable number was high because they thought he was too nice a man for the position and didn’t want to see him all chewed up.

Minnesota voters, Republican and Democrat, don’t seem to like anyone, except maybe Al Franken and Jesse Ventura.

Rubio 23% ! Riiiiight! This must be because nobody but seniors have landlines anymore. And they’re probably following what Fox is pushing. I don’t watch Fox so that’s just supposition. Otherwise this whole poll is a total fabrication.

WTF is your post about?

If just too much liquor, you'll probably be O.K. in the morning.

If it is a mental problem, sorry about that, but please cancel your voter registration.
