Trump, Sanders lead in West Virginia (Trump leads 61% to 22% for Cruz)
http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/ ^

PPP's new West Virginia poll finds it's likely to just keep Donald Trump's recent streak of dominant victories right on going. Trump leads in the state with 61% to 22% for Ted Cruz and 14% for John Kasich. Trump, with a 67/24 favorability rating, is the only candidate GOP voters in the state even like. Both Kasich (32/50) and Cruz (32/53) come in with negative favorability ratings.

Adding Carly Fiorina to the ticket has done little to help Cruz. Only 12% of voters say picking her as his running mate makes them more likely to vote for Cruz, compared to 31% who say it makes them less likely to vote for Cruz and 54% who say they just don't care one way or another. Fiorina's 40/32 favorability rating with Republican primary voters does at least make her more popular than Cruz himself.

Trump is winning every subgroup of the Republican electorate, but a few things stand out. He's getting 70% among the independents planning to vote in the GOP primary, to 20% for Cruz and just 9% for Kasich. Trump also has by far and away the most committed support- 87% of his voters say they will definitely cast their ballots for him next Tuesday, compared to only 67% of Cruz's voters and 45% of Kasich's voters who say the same about their candidates. The race is tighter among 'very conservative' voters, with Trump getting 51% to Cruz's 38% but among both moderates and 'somewhat conservative' voters, Trump's advantage is up over 50 points.

I doubt that. Cruz has proved he is a traitor to America and will stay in for spite.

You’re changing your vote to essentially help Clinton because of something you believe that Trump implied, even though he obviously never actually said what you claimed he did? It seems to me like you are allowing your hatred of Trump to cloud your reason. Passing out (pro-Castro) pamphlets does not equal helping to assassinate Kennedy. Try to be reasonable here.

Something is not right with Cruz.

Do you want the list numerically, alphabetically or chronologically... ? ;)

Why challenge liars when they have successful employed Alinsky tactics against you and have you labeled as the liar?

Somethings are just too stupid to address, that goes for people as well.

So you think Rafael was passing out flyers with Oswald before the assassination?

If that’s the case I wouldn’t call it spite. I’d call it mental illness.

I’d love to see Trump sweep these - WV, MT, SD, NE. The more convincing his overall victory, the better. It will make the maps more intimidating as well - those are four good sized states that will fill in nicely.

Now it’s not a matter of if, but by how much.

In 2012, I was pulling for Newt, but by the time the Texas primary came around, I went ahead and voted for Mittens because it was obvious he would be the nominee (the primary was much later in 2012 than it was this year). There have to be people who backed Cruz who are now going over to The Donald because they know Cruz is finished.

Trump will draw a larger coalition than any GOP candidate has ever
done. He will get Reagan democrats, a much larger % of blacks
and Hispanic’s and large % of conservatives and evangelicals.
A coalition the GOP has never seen before.

If you have not noticed, you have had your head in the sand.

Any polls on NE (36), MT (27), or SD (29)?

More cows than people and they worship talk radio dunderheads like Levin and Beck...it's Cruz country.

You can assume what someone implied , but it seems you are the only one who assumes that, and when that happens then one should re-think their position .

So you would never vote for Trump and let Clinton in and then you say Trump is off his rocker, , mmmmmmmm

Are you the kind of kid when the game is being lost you pick your ball up and go home?

He only mentioned that Cruz’s dad was in a picture with Ozwald, who at the time was a supporter of Castro in Cuba. Cruz’s dad also admits in his own book that he supported Castros revolution at that time. So it’s really not a stretch.

Also, Trump is more strategic than people give him credit for. I’ve read many of his books in the past, and he will sacrifice a pawn to take a knight...A little chess analogy, but I think he said this to exert a reaction from Cruz and then brand him as not having the temperament to be president, which he did afterwards.

His methods are unconventional, but he has certainly gotten in the heads of his opponents and thrown them off balance. So when you look at it from this perspective, it’s actually a good move.

Well is the picture genuine?

I’ve seen it floating around since the beginning of the year.

We already know that Cruz Sr. was pro-Castro during that time.
