Despite getting drubbed in Wisconsin this week, Donald Trump has won more votes than any other Republican candidate this year. So, he’s doing OK, right? Well, for all the talk that unbound delegates and quirky convention rules could prevent Trump from winning the GOP nomination, it’s easy to forget that Republican voters also play a part. Trump’s 37 percent of the cumulative primary vote and 46 percent of delegates won so far may sound impressive, but his percentages make him the weakest Republican front-runner, at this point in the process, in decades.

You and “pollster1” just went way over the Cruz lover’s heads....
“.......nothing says “weakest candidate ever” more than tens of thousands of folks at rallies with more than six months before the election.”......
Trump still has the largest turnouts of all the candidates put together.
Of course he is!!!!!!
Just ignore those stadiums full of people showing up to see him, HilLIARy is going to cream him!!
People Love hilLIARy!
Actually, Trump is probably strongest front runner in modern American history. Who other than a great candidate could have withstood tens of millions of dollars in attack ads from PACs and donors in his own party? Certainly not CheaTED.
Lately I have seen many stupid articles posted here by the handful of posters who never seem to be off here.
What is really funny is that everything these GOPe lovers try seems to backfire on them just like when the liberal, socialist media tries against Trump...
Candidates have been dropping out all along. Rubio dropped out a month ago. I think the point is Donald's numbers haven't been rising in correlation.
When you have recently retired, you find more time to come in here...
Yeah...but typically by this time, the choice is pretty much already clear, and the votes that the one remaining candidate is not getting are just protest votes from hard-cases.
It’s extremely rare to be this late into the season and have three viable candidates left, and to have had five or six just a few weeks before.
In a sane world, if every candidate but one is mathematically eliminated (which is likely to happen by the end of this month) then the one left standing is the winner. -- Jim Robinson, April 7, 2016
It's time all the losers, including Cruz, dropped out after being eliminated.
If Trump actually honors voters and doesn’t steal other candidates delegates , how is that weak? I find it honorable and in the great traditions of fairness and honesty. I find cruz, on the otherhand, to be not only a liar but a low life thief. Fortunately, he will never win and he is inelegible under the constitution from even being President because he wasn’t born here.
The certainly seem to be in the upcoming primaries.
Nobody can ever be weaker than Romney.
BTW I'd like to see Cruz's curve on this chart. It might be illuminating.
Wow, that is a very stark and frightening chart.
Bush, Dole, Romney and McCain DID NOT HAVE THE GOP ESTABLISHMENT trying to sabotage them at every turn like Trump.
Furthermore, there were not as many people running as Trump has.
If Kasich was not such a low life turd and step down like past candidates, then Trump would get all 66 Delegates out of Ohio per state law.
Thus, the numbers would be differently.
Finally the other candidates did not have their vote stolen from them in Colorado.
So you have you want to listen to the insider phony Nate Silver left wing hack, then that is your business.
