Having a difficult time accessing the complete article from here, if anyone can post the rest of the article, it would be appreciated.
Kind of like the differences between the Politburo and the Peasants.
Well, this supports what I’ve been saying all along.
The delegate pool consists of what is essentially a random sampling of all potential voters. If the population of potential voters supports 44% Trump, 34% Cruz, 17% Kasich, 5% other, and then a random sampling from that population should contain supporters roughly equal to those percentages (within statistical error). There is no way a random sampling from such a population would contain nothing but Cruz or undecided voters.
If an outcome is so far different than the statistical prediction, then something untoward happened. There is no other possibility.
The good thing is that Trump knows when to take advantage of opportunities, and he used this to good effect: witness New York!
bttt
Anyone surprised ?
Didn’t Trump take all of the delegates in Hawaii in the same manner? Where was the outrage?
Cruz’s campaign is about subverting democracy and disrespecting voters. Shameful - it appears there’s a lot of Latin dictator in the Ted Cruz persona.
I find it interesting that they never even took a poll in the state of Colorado. I think it was to set up the steal.
Shame on you for trying to influence FR with this unknown “contract” poller (sort of like a contract poster)who gives no information on how the “survey” was conducted or who was the funding sponsor (who benefitted the most?).
Would you have posted results not quite so favorable to your boss?
Primaries vs Caucuses
Elected vs Selected.
In my opinion, the GOP will have fewer primaries in the future. Those damn voters are starting to get a little uppity.
That said, am I the only one that is worried that Trump is starting to sound like a politician now? Especially with his interview on the Today Show.
Maybe all male voters for LGBTrump were in the ladies room smoking weed with little girls.
Colorado was a PR disaster for the GOP and Cruz.
Most of the people commenting do not live in Colorado and are ignoring the facts. After trying to figure out what the title of this tread meant I figured everything else was screwed up.
The Tea Party groups made big gains in the Colorado republican party so I think this is the reason for the misinformation and outright lies on the Colorado process. The Trump people came to the caucuses and asked for the straw poll and when they said there was not one they LEFT!!
Many of the trump people abandoned Colorado then attacked the Tea Party.
Nothing to see here...
It was a landslide victory that people should be talking about instead of NY.
The benevolent overlords know best.
Move along...
The Colorado Republican series of conventions involved 65,000 at various levels with almost 8,000 at the State Convention, so this automated survey sample size is roughly 1% in comparison.
Even if Trump had the statewide support, he certainly failed to get his supporters to the conventions.
“In 2020, CO will vote in a primary election.”
I wonder if they’d still want to vote Trump by then?
