Cruz enjoys the support of 28 percent of Republicans, with Trump just behind with 26 percent. Marco Rubio comes in third with 17 percent.

Duplicate thread but hey you got to have hope Cruz supporters. Cruz supporters are like Notre Dame fans 2013 in the BCS National Championship game against Alabama. Did ok the first drive but got beaten into embarrassment.

Complete baloney. Nate Silver came out today and said the only person who had any chance of beating Trump is Marco Rubio. He is right. If Rubio becomes the anti-Trump he has a chance as Cruz fades. I’ll take Nate Silver any day.

Fantasyland.

Cruz is 2 pts ahead of Trump in 1 poll and that one is in the margin of error which means theoretically that Trump is ahead.

Meanwhile, Trump is ahead of Cruz by double-digits in, what, 15...20 separate polls?

C’mon.

Trumps meltdown at the last debate may be sinking in with the electorate.

Trump should pull out now; no one likes him.

He would make a good Commerce Secretary for President Cruz

"Cruz also leads Trump by 16 points in a head-to-head matchup."

"The NBC/Wall Street Journal poll was taken Feb. 14-16 after a South Carolina debate in which Trump attacked former President George W. Bush over the Iraq war and the September 11, 2001 attacks.

It could suggest that the Trump attacks backfired on the frontrunner."

No kidding! Screaming that Bush lied was a problem in a Republican debate? Threatening to sue opponents for showing a video with your own words? Tweeting out ridiculous things year after year?

Yup. If Trump were to disappear from the race, we'll get Rubio:

I thought Trump would make it through one more debate before he convinced me not to vote for him under any circumstance. Didn’t take that long afterall.
