That is if you believe the polls which have been off as much as 20%. It does make a good talking point for libs and Cruz supporters.
If Cruz could only arrange for the general election to be back door dealing with only party hacks, lunatic fringe religious nuts, and elite sleazeballs, he could pull it off.
You think California is bad. I just looked it up, and castlegreyskull (post #23) is right.
17 of Pennsylvania’s 71 GOP delegates are bound to whomever wins the state. Those 17 must vote for that person on the first ballot.
But the other 54 are officially “unbound”. They can vote any way the wish at the convention, even on the first ballot!
So the question becomes, why even bother having those 54 on the ballot? Oh, wait. I guess it looks good, and makes the rubes think they are doing something important.
This PA poll represents a major Trump surge. He went from 8 or 9 point single digit leads in the more recent polls to a 26 point lead! That is a remarkable outcome in just over a week’s time!
Your link has Cruz winning NE, IN, WA, OR,...
Trump will be SOL if that that is right.
Your confused,Crubanos don’t care about actual votes. They will just get what they need at the convention
Yeah, and your ‘predict’ site has Trump losing so many that he will lose the nomination after the 1st ballot.
Well, that number has been pretty consistent across multiple polling companies and over a period of months. So while it might be off a couple of percentage points one way or another, it is not off by 20 points.
It is amusing how Trump and his supporters always point to the polls when they are in his favor, even when it is only one poll that is an obvious outlier like the WI ARG poll; but completely discount any polls that are not favorable to Trump, even when virtually every major poll shows the same results... As they say, denial is not just a river in Egypt...
“These polls indicate that Cruz is losing support.”
Cruz’s support seems to dissipate very quickly after his “successes”.
Going hot
I hear ya.
I hate it that they try to manipulate the voters.
Some voters though, the more the pollsters push, the more they (the voters) get angry & double down for their candidate.
That’s what ‘they’ (the elites/gopee/establishment haven’t figured for, in this election.
The people are mas as h311, and don’t want to take it anymore.
We can only hope. Power to the people, and all of that.
Hopefully Trump will be watchful, because cruz will send in his “lawyers” and steal as many delegates as he’s doing
elsewhere.
Thanks for those #’s trump20162020!

I personally think cruz thinks he has been ordained by GOD to be president. I read it here on FR. I was amazed.
Of that list only IN is of any importance and it’s open primary.
WA and OR are not winner take all. NE is a Cruz gimmie.
It can’t be true
Ping me if it looks too bad for steelfish and 2dv and Durbin and sandf etc
I can overnight Xanax bars
Take the urge away
I am not In this to win at any cost
Trump can’t get to 1237 if he loses IN, much less all those other ones.
That’s just a fact.
Also...Chances are Cruz will win a bunch in CA.
The beauty contest vote awards only a fraction of the state’s delegates. In order to truly win the state, he needs to educate voters which of the delegate candidates in each of the congressional districts (54 delegates in all, probably 162 candidates) are his. 54 of the 71 delegates are elected that way.
But the way Pennsylvania elects delegates, they are not really unbound. There are delegate candidates for each campaign on the ballot. The people, not the party, elect those delegates. However, the candidate affiliation of the delegate candidates is not listed on the ballot. That is where the campaign organization becomes important, because voters need to be told which delegates will support the presidential candidate they want.
