Agree that Cruz with his personal lack of charm would be weak choice against Hillary.
Trump had potential as the exciting outsider willing to stand up for Borders and Jobs. But the last few months have revealed him to be an awful general election candidate, who lacks the knowledge and skills to handle even basic interviews without stumbling into the outrage of the day. And when Trump’s not stinking up interviews, he’s on Twitter, trying to find new ways to dig deeper his hole with woman voters, via nonsense about TV anchors and people’s wives.
Hopefully WI will be one of the speed bumps that keep Trump short of the delegates needed for a first-ballot win.
Who gives a damn about what Wisconsin wants? Wisconsin’s contribution to “conservativism” are creepy Paul Ryan and the invisible man Scott Walker who have ZERO popularity in the 49 other states.
NOBODY other than the cynical wankers in the GOPe would vote for them.
why not address the facts , instead of spouting utter crap?
Trump v Cruz head-to-head actual primary election results for the 3 purple states which are must wins,
|——————Trump v Cruz -——— Trump v Cruz ———— Margin -——|
Ohio ............. 700,464 - 259,694 ... 35.87% - 13.30% ..... +440,770 Trump
Florida ........ 1,079,741 - 404,804 ... 45.72% - 17.14% ..... +647,937 Trump
Virginia ......... 355,961 - 173,191 ... 34.73% - 16.90% ..... +182720 Trump
The facts say, Cruz can’t win FL,OH, or VA. He has to win all of them; therefore a vote for Cruz is a vote for Hillary.
sorry I mean that for some oneelse
If it’s not Trump, it will be Hillary. If it is Trump, it could be Hillary. Cruz is out with Kasich.

Insane.
so you was against the establishment before you was for it.
How does it feel being an establishment hack?

Manc where is AZ???
bttt
I remember her. Rove attacked her right before the election because she deposed the GOPe guy. Don’t know if she would of been better buy Rove attacking her turned me off to him ever since.
I don’t have the numbers at hand.
Those numbers though are damning and yet cruz voters still can’t wrap into their heads how bad cruz would be.
Facts are facts which they ignore.
Now they want a contested election and think the establishment will welcome cruz. Yes tat is how delusional they are.
I don’t really share your concern. I don’t want an open convention as Trump and Cruz will both lose. The Establishment will select someone else, like Ryan or Kasich.
I really think Trump can beat the “witch” because she stands for nothing. Trump is a businessman and understands how to get things done. You may have heard an old statement “if I wanted something fixed in my house, I don’t want the slick sales person or the nice sounding one, I want someone who will do the work and is not afraid to get their hands dirty - I don’t care if the person is unruly or speaks his mind, I know the work will be done properly”
With that said, if the “polls” were all telling and all knowing, then why have elections? Just take a poll and whoever the 600 people select, then go with that. These polls are based on people answering the phone on that day - is it the college student, worker, unemployed, etc.
We’ve all seen that the “polls” were so wrong in recent primaries, etc. They are only close on the day prior to the vote. I think the polls show who “the witch” doesn’t want to run against so they are skewed - in my opinion. Do you really think that the majority of Americans would want Bernie over Trump? This is what the polls show - let’s try to stay united against the Establishment and Hillary.
A contested convention, if it happens, don’t bet on Cruz getting the nomination... if that’s where this thing winds up, you will get Jeb or someone like that as your nominee. Contested conventions historically do not wind up with either of the frontrunners winning the nomination because their delegates are unwilling to large scale support their nemesis... so you wind up with a lot of votes going nowhere, and eventually some third dark horse becomes the person that members of both factions wind up supporting.
Personally I don’t think its going to wind up there, highly doubtful Trump will lose WI in a way that he would wind up with no delegates... however even if he were, he walks into New York in 2 weeks and takes the overwhelming majority if not every single one of NY’s 95 delegates... keeping him more than on path to 1237, even if he were to lose every one in WI.
WI I expect to be close, any poll showing anyone up double digits there is laughable... it implies to me something definitely off with the sample. I do think WI and maybe IN are the last best hope for Cruz to pull an upset, maybe a small New England state might surprise but that’s about it.
If I were to predict an unexpected story out of WI, I would be looking for Kasich to outperform his polls. Based on my exposure to Wisconsin, I think a lot of folks, after the events of the last few weeks there, are likely to decide they won’t vote for either of the “buffoons” and vote for Kasich. Won’t be enough to give him the win, but I would not be surprised to see him perform well above where the polls say he should.
Time will tell.
You have not been paying attention have you?
If it comes time for Cruz's turn, the Media DeathStar will light him up like a campfire marshmallow on a stick.
Cruz's last little bimbo eruption go-around was some grazing fire from one of the Media DeathStar's secondary weapons systems. Its main batteries are focused on Trump. :)
Let's remember that line next time a trumpette makes the claim Ted Cruz had affairs.
If you know all thst you should quit your job and be on TV spreading propaganda.
No one can tell who can beat the witch.
sCruz is an insider and Bushbot.
Are you high?
Funny, Trump was at 30% in Wisconsin, now they say he’s dropping....
