Any caucus voters from Alaska? Trump leads poll there 41-27 over Cruz. Rubio 15.

[DoughtyOne]

Good night folks. Hope all is well with each of you.

Did the Cruz supporters just give up? From the number of threads you would think he would poll better than 25 percent.

“Did the Cruz supporters just give up?”

Pretty much. The nightly Cruz votes fell off a cliff after Trump blew out South Carolina.

I think many of them have reached the acceptance level, and realize that Ted just doesn’t have the thrust required to reach escape velocity.
