It’s time to start flipping the opposition narratives onto their own candidates.
81% of Michigan republican voters do not support Ted Cruz; and 82% of Michigan republican voters do not support Marco Rubio. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have almost identical “ceilings” at 19% and 18% respectively. (link)
See how that works? It’s all in the presentation:
MICHIGAN – […] If the Michigan GOP Presidential primary were held today, Trump would win with 29% of the vote compared to Cruz with 19% and Rubio right on his heals with 18%. Ohio Governor John Kasich and neurosurgeon Ben Carson are currently polling at 8% each. Eighteen percent are still undecided.
Bernie Porn, president of the Lansing polling firm that surveyed 400 likely Republican voters said, “Trump is well positioned to win Michigan on Tuesday, March 8, but Rubio is likely to overtake Cruz in Michigan. Nevertheless, as it now stands, Trump is the odds on favorite to win the GOP nomination in Cleveland.”
What’s fascinating about this year’s high interest presidential contest is that the candidate Michiganders like the most is at the bottom of the polls. Detroit native Ben Carson has a 72% favorability rating, followed by Rubio at 64%, Cruz – 57%, Kasich – 54% and Trump at 48%.
But Trump’s strength with the voters rests in what Bernie Porn says is “his attitude and image as a fighter which is stronger than where he stands on the issues.”
When the voters were asked about Trump’s statement that he would ban all Muslims from entering the U.S. until America got a better handle on combating terrorism, 61% of Republican voters agreed, 32% disagreed. (read more)

Except that Trump has consistently underperformed his polling numbers, hasn’t he?
If we are being honest... which on these threads, Trumpettes never are.

Except that Trump has consistently underperformed his polling numbers, hasn’t he?A win is a win. He's won 10 out of 15 primaries. How's that for honesty? How many primaries has your candidate won? Would you say he's under-performing or just getting his hat handed to him?
To: bolobaby
Except that Trump has consistently underperformed his polling numbers, hasn’t he?No he hasn't. He's over-performed (actual vote % vs. RCP average) in 11 of the 15 contests. No other candidate comes close.

[full disclosure - Cruz supporter]
I am of the opinion that Sen Cruz is the standard bearer for the conservative wing of the party and that wing has been growing. Rubio represents the GOPe wing of North Eastern Republicans and that wing has been shrinking. Both are about 20% of the party and as such, neither can win without the other.
Trump represents the disgruntled party members and as such is drawing about 40 to 50 percent. He can win the party nomination on his own, but still needs conservatives and the GOPe to insure a general election win.

Yours is a fair assessment, IMO. Thanks for sharing.
I think after March 15th we’ve got a two man race between Trump and Cruz. That’s when it really gets interesting because every state at that point is winner take all.

I’m from Houston and have defended him in the past from Dreamers protesting in front of his Senate Office. He just started receiving help from Charles Foster an immigration attorney on his financial team from the Jeb campaign. Foster is well known in Houston as a hard core open borders peddler.

Foster is well known in Houston as a hard core open borders peddlerand now he's working for Cruz! Strange bedfellows or just a couple of shysters?
To: smoothsailing
everyone here knows about Foster. He has blocked enforcement in TX a long, long time. It’s on Cruz’s website as the announcement for his new financial team.
To: magna carta
It sounds like Cruz is thumbing his nose at the pro-enforcement patriots. How does he expect to win doing that?
