You forgot about the 10% or more that Trump under-performs in most polls.
10% under-performing in “Most polls”? Wow - that would be national news...if true.
“Rush was saying how losing in Florida could ruin his career”
Yeah; well, that ship has sailed.
Well, Puerto Rico IS in already . . . .
I think the whole early voting thing should be eliminated. Continue absentee voting for actual situations where a person won’t be there on election day.
I accuse you of “dirty tricks”! Just like the Cruz campaign was accused of yesterday for sharing a similar report from CNN.
Just kidding, but you see how ridiculous all those people accusing the Cruz campaign were yesterday... :-)
You either haven't been paying attention or you're letting your desire cloud your reasoning.
Trump was, according to the polls, supposed to win Iowa and all the others that Cruz actually won, and was supposed to be very close in Texas (he lost by 25%). It's only after-the-fact back peddling by Trump and has fans who are trying to rewrite the story to make it look better for Trump.
“Wonder what Cruz and the party of Jeb offered him.
Cruz is after his delegates”
Or Kasich. Whoever the Turd Blossom Republicans pick. This delegate gifting screws us more often than not. That’s how we got stuck with McCain. It’s how the GOP controls elections. It needs to end.
So does this mean Cruz is now part of the Washington cartel?
DOWN GOES DONDI!!!
DOWN GOES DONDI!!!
DOWN GOES DONDI!!!

Was this before or after the meeting with Yeb?
Just another Cruz dirty trick. /s
You act like Cruz has magically won a number of races. He hasn't. There was no doubt who would win in Texas. Michigan polls showed Trump at 34-41% and he came at just under 36%.
In Mississippi, polls had Trump winning at 41% and he came in at 47.3%.
You seem to want to focus on only those states, which aren't many...that Cruz won in order to show Trump's weakness. That weakness which you are desperately hoping for...is overstated.
There was no significant polling of record for KS, ME, or ID.
To say that Ted has overperformed is to ignore the fact that early states, the reliably conservative deep south, were supposed to be his wheelhouse.
Ted is behind, that’s reality.
The map does not favor him going forward under the old CW. But this year hasn’t followed any semblance of the usual rules. So that opinion is one to be watched and reassessed moving forward.
Ted’s path to 1237 without wins in OH and FL is so narrow as to resemble the proverbial eye of the needle.
Yeah, if Cruz were to drop out then we could see a one-on-one between Trump and Kasich. Probably no one has done polling on that matchup.
Ted is behind, that’s reality.No one has suggested anything else.
All the primaries so far have been Trump vs. "the field". Trump has done very well in this environment. However, it is reality that Trump has the highest unfavorables of any candidate, and he has not been able to get even 50% of the Republican base to vote for him anywhere. It will be very interesting to see how that changes once it's a one-on-one race.
And this ignores whatever dirt the Democrats have on him (remember, they have access to everything the IRS and the FBI might have on him). It will all be aired in October, once it's too late for the Republicans to do anything about it.
