Trump's Dirty War Losing Steam: CRUZ Leads Fresh WI Poll -and Now Within 3 Points Nationally

And Trump's surely helping the cause, with unhinged cheap-shot attacks on Heidi Cruz- when this woman is 10,000x times more impressive than unintelligible prop Melania Trump will ever be...

Alas, the pattern is well-established: Trump comes up with some dubious excuse to orchestrate a character assassination (that's already been elaborately planned), goes into a two day twitter frenzy disingenuously playing the victim in a crudely staged scene that's a mirror-image of the one the master projectionist is actually about to spring upon his latest mark.

Then when Trump shifts into attack-mode, Drudge, Breitbart, paid bloggers and twitter trolls spread the false narrative/finish them off if they're still moving.

After this latest gutter-offensive, how any woman could vote for The Donald is beyond me... seems to have a bizarre love/hate relationship with females, 
to say the least.  

It's been truly unsettling to see Trump just nod his head in somebody's direction -like Carlo Gambino- and loyal thugs promptly go after them, 
be it online or at his monster-truck-style rallies. 

And the Orwellian propaganda generated against Ted Cruz blows my mind-- so sad to watch millions of Americans join-in the utterly dishonest trashing of this good man and all he stands for in service to some would-be 
post-constitutionalist dictator. 

Who knows how many paid trolls he's got out there spreading his noxious slander -there's obviously an organized online offensive- but the last couple months social media and news/blog comments sections have been a cesspool to behold, like dirty campaigning gone nuclear- and we've all got Trump to thank for it. 

I pray there's really not that many actual people out there who believe whatever tripe Dear Leader spoons them, and I will say over half the Trumpsters who come after me on twitter appear to be fake accounts, supported by teams of other fake accounts. With all the smear tactics, it seems Trump has combined Organizing for America with KGB disinformation techniques-- and it worked, for a while.

But are we really this screwed-up from the last eight years that we don't think there's anything wrong in the way Trump 'campaigns'... and that the answer is our own nominally 'conservative' Obama who also talks out both sides of his mouth... and runs like a scorched-Earth Alinskyite with a rabid twitter army?

Perhaps not: there is reason to consider Arizona a lagging indicator, with all that early voting for Trump (and Rubio) not truly reflecting the public's growing disaffection for the current GOP frontrunner. 

After Trump received an ass-whooping in Utah, a fresh poll suggests that the Tang-toned tyrant's schtick is also rapidly wearing thin in winner-take-all Wisconsin:

In a statewide Emerson College poll released today, Texas Senator Ted Cruz is not only leading Trump 36% to 35% in the upcoming primary, but Cruz is only trailing Hillary Clinton by one point in a hypothetical general election matchup, 46% to 45%.

In contrast, Trump is trailing both Clinton and her Democratic rival, Bernie Sanders, by the same 9-point margin of 47% to 38% in a potential general election match-up.

In addition, a new Fox News poll has Cruz virtually tied with Trump nationally,

within the margin-for-error... how bout that:

Dump Trump !!

Trump is a petulant, small, man-child.

I’d say that it was Team Cruz who fired the first, and dirtiest shot in this recent dustup. A Super PAC headed by Liz Mair who had previously worked for Rick Perry and Carly Fiorina (both of whom have endorsed Cruz) ran a disgusting ad targeting Trump’s wife, and Vote for Cruz on it. Cruz didn’t disavow the cheap, gutter tactics, but turned Trump’s response into yet another attack upon him.

You can add to that Cruz’ blaming Trump for the leftist inspired and directed violence in Chicago, and his attempt to blame the attacks in Brussels on Trump.

Your man Cruz is probably the dirtiest campaigner there is, and he’s doing it out of desperation, because he knows that he has to win 82+ percent of all the remaining delegates. The very best he can do is to block Trump’s way on behalf of the corrupt and disgusting establishment, and he’s doing their dirty work for them with glee.

Be sure to pick up a copy of the National Enquirer this week

Put the spotlight back on the candidates where it belongs

Might be a bad week for Ted

National Enquirer just a tabloid rag?
Ask John Edwards. Gary Hart. Jesse Jackson.

If Cruz wins it via bagging 1237 delegates prior to the convention, yes. If he goes into Cleveland with less than Trump but ends up the nominee, never.

This should have blown over by now. We should be unifying. When the dust settles on this primary, Rush might be fun to listen to again — I hope.

But apparently the Bush team / FoxNews shared internal polling with Limbaugh and now we have this new poll. Which makes no sense with Elmer Fudd being the Cruz advisor on national security ...

No. Never. More revulsion factor than Romney.

Well, after a good start in Iowa, Emerson has not been terrifically accurate. Second, Wisconsin has not been solid Trump. Carson led there, and the RCP average (admittedly based on two older Marquette polls) is Trump +5. Don’t forget WI is an “open primary,” where Cruz does the absolute worst of the three types (closed caucus, closed primary, open primary-—although AZ was a closed primary and Cruz lost that).

I think WI is somewhat close and the GOPe will throw out every single thing they have, including Mr. Dropout Scott Walker and the “Next President of the United States” Paul Ryan, to derail Trump there.

Nationally, it’s FAUX, as opposed to Reuters where Trump is pushing 40% and has a double digit lead over Lyin Ted.

LOL. Much like his rantings, things didn't pan out they way the blogger thought.

YOu are seeing the real Cruz, the one you thought was Cruz was a fake to fool you.

[tirednvirginia]

Everyone knows that the super pacs do coordinate with the candidates. Of course its illegal but they aren’t putting up all that money to destroy the competition out of love. The candidate will owe them bigtime.

Of course, Ted Cruz knew exactly what his super pac was doing and approved of it with a wink and a nod.

[SueRae]

Stopped reading after that first sentence. I’m still willing to listen to others make the case for their candidate but that line lost me.

[John Valentine]

How isn’t this article not a troll?

THIS, coming from the guy who posed for the travelocity lawn troll prototype?!!

Are you from Atlanta, by any chance? Maybe Emory could provide you with the 'safe space' you need.

[bray]

Fox was pushing that Cruz was closing in zona too and lost by twenty. The race is over for George T Bush III.

Pray America wakes

Enquirer has come out with a story about mistresses.
