“Cruz won’t win a state in 2 days. Bye Cruz.”

B..B…BBBBut he got 1/3 of available Wyoming delegates.
He’s surging! Surging I tell you!

I agree with Cruz that Trump is setting the tone.

That is ridiculous. Trump has been compared to Hitler from day one. And the BLM has been rioting and hitting old ladies in the face for months now. How can you blame Trump for something that already existed?

Correct: make that 200 delegates behind. Cruz would lose another hundred and Trump would gain those hundred.

Oh for pity sake. I watch all of his rallies. He’s plain spoken and tells it like it is. Says what needs to be done and isn’t a slimy lawyer/politician.

If he did half as much as he plans to do, your country might stand a chance. He hasn’t even started on Hitlery yet - she wouldn’t stand a chance, regardless of polls.

All you Trumpaholics are about to be taught a lesson in politics that you will never forget, and in the process you might develop just a smidgin of humility.

Nah...you won’t learn a thing. You are all immune to learning.

Florida is out of reach for Cruz. But not so Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio.

Nevertheless this round is not so important for gaining delegates, although Cruz will get his share or more. It is important for forcing Rubio out when he can’t do better than third in his home state.

Kasich is already out. He goes nowhere after Ohio except as a pro-Trump spoiler. That’s a role I don’t think he wants to play, so I think he goes to the sidelines also.

Then Cruz can get down to the business of shutting up Trumps tiny pie-hole.

Well you got to be careful by embracing only those polls showing Trump doing well versus those polls showing his support dwindling.

Right?! So just embrace the ones that show Trump doing bad and pretend that's reality! Oh, the life of a Cruz supporter. LOL

These polls are RV-based (Registered Voter) push polls, and are being conducted by PR firms whose goal is to manipulate public opinion, not report on it. They are sponsored by the lamestream media, of course, in order to coat them with a (very thin) veneer of ostensible objectivity.

As we all know, the lamestream media always has our best interest at heart when they present such groundbreaking "public opinion" surveys.

Anyone with the slightest shred of intellectual honesty knows these polls to be the epitome of clumsy propaganda.

Therefore, I encourage all open-minded Freepers to review the exposé entitled With NBC/WSJ It’s Not Polling, It’s "Gaslighting" - Media Manipulation: The Latest Version which was recently posted on FR.

The fact that Steelfish and his Trump-hating ilk would cite these intentionally dishonest polls, which are aught but feeble Establishment spin, is a testimony to their abject desperation.

I don’t think many states are left for Cruz to do well in. He screwed up when he lost the south. He was supposed to win them all. Instead he lost them all.

Pollsters. Here's what the poll said last week (below.) Sanders won.

"...No insults (Trumpisms) please...."

Well...that went well, didn't it?

Leopards can't change their spots.

Yet he’s far ahead of the others in second place.

Bingo! BLM has been rioting and hitting old ladies in the face for months now. Didn’t hit me in the face, but hit car windows...

I was at the rally in Chicago. I was ambushed by a mob of thugs—I had no “identifying trump affiliation” such as a bumper sticker or red Trump hat. I did nothing to incite them—I was simply trying to leave a parking garage...

They screamed at me, pounded on my windows, sprayed the car. However, the most scary thing in the ambush was the hate in some of the professional thugs eyes! I did nothing to these people, yet people hated me because I was white and a probable Trump supporter :(

2 minute video, I am in the second car in the line...black SUV. Scary stuff.

Hypothetical polls are weak, especially so many months away. When the decision comes time between Hillary and Trump, these numbers will be very different.

Cruz will end May with more amassed delegates than Trump; Indiana is likely the state that will put Cruz ahead. My numbers tell me that it is iffy if Cruz will be able to reach the magic number by the convention, but he will certainly be well ahead of Trump by then. Cruz ought to be at least 200 delegates ahead of Trump by the date of the New Jersey primary, even spotting Trump Florida and Ohio. By the convention, Cruz may be as little as 5 or 10 delegates short of a majority - or he may well be over the top.

Only two names will be eligible to be placed into consideration for nomination; Trump and Cruz. Also, the convention rules are already set, and NO OTHER NAMES can be considered for the nomination even if it is not decided on the first ballot. This is going to be a binary choice: Trump or Cruz.

Cruz will win - if not on the first ballot, then the second.

Wowza! Cruz getting a whole 25 percent of the entire Republican electorate! Woo hoo how impressive. With talk radio titans kissing his ass 24/7 and newfound support from Bush/Romney/Fox news.

What a loser with loser spambots too dumb to realize how pathetic that is.
