I've seen all the articles and have listened to all the anti-Trump pundits on Fox News etc. gleefully predict how Cruz is going to win WI tommorow.
I was, however, thinking...what if Trump pulls out a win?
It will be so much fun watching Charles Cooke and Rich Lowery and Ben Shapiro and all the other Trump haters explain how THAT happened.
A Trump win in WI is possible.
Why?
Polls are of republicans.
WI is an OPEN primary, so for example, if a lot of IND and DEM voters cross over, then, Trump can win.
Don’t be surprised if it happens :)
Bullcrap!
Where do you pull this junk from?
Your hind end?
Be biased, but don’t be so stupid you look foolish.
-—The 10 point lead tha Cruz had last week is over, he will still win but by less than 5 points, a personal prediction.

I agree, I think Cruz will win within 5. The state machine is behind Cruz, and they can always pull a few boxes of ballots out of a car trunk to push him over the top in select counties.
Yup, I agree.
Trump has run the most unethical mean spirited hateful campaign since...... Well, I guess I just have look at the way Democrats run and that is the template Trump is using in the Republican primary.
I too will hold my nose and vote for him, but I see little in him I like.
If those supporting Trump get so mad they stay home if and when he loses in the convention, then I guess he should have done what Perot did and run as an Independent.
His problem is, after he loses he cannot run as a third party candidate due to the “Sore Loser” laws.
So he has to get the delegates needed, or he is finished.
Trump had an RCP average of 38 in Arizona and won it with 47%. Ted was at 25 and finished with 25% in AZ.
But he’d bump it every time he landed, methinks.
Man Cruz supporters are nasty!
“What if tomorrow morning all the trees on Earth speak as with one voice and endorse John Kasich for President?”
Actually trees do speak to each other. Have you not seen Avatar?
Actually, I do believe they communicate on some level.
In the United States of Megyn which of her alts is that?
see I never said myself I said people.
If you want to call people here inFL stupid then you are not doing a good job for people to vote for him, and I can tell you this.
People are sick and tired of the ivy league establishment and the good ole boys club.
like I told you people are fed up and will not vote for cruz or anyone unless it is Trump here.
cruz has not done himself any favors by the way he got into bed with t establishment or playing the victim and talking about Trump all the time in the last month.
The only station I trust for news any longer is OANN, they went district by district in Wisconsin this AM Trump is behind by 3 points, with crossover votes as expected he could very well win this thing!!!!
/yawn
Actually they'll probably vote for the Democrat like the have the last 2 elections. You hold Florida up to be this wise population base, and I say that is a bunch of hooey.
Hey, I guess maybe that is Floridians dilemma. Should Trump be the nominee they'll have 2 Democrats to choose from.
Kidding aside. Trump is already a cancer in the GOP, he would be deadly poison in a general elections. Have you seen your guys disapproval numbers? I think by the time November rolls around he might have hit all time record disapproval ratings - that is, if he hasn't already. Trump isn't gonna win Florida, sorry. Winning a primary is not the same thing as trying to win a general election - it's a completely different audience.
if his disapproval is so bad why is he doing good, and got over 2 million more votes, . It doe snot look good for cruz then if that means Trump is doing bad.
You and I need FL and VA and cruz had a bad ,display here and VA. Never could win a county for crying out loud.
I know you want cruz and fair enough, but the fact remains he only brings in voters from his small base and has only won thus far 3 primary states. One being his own and a neighboring state OK
We can hope:-)
I think it all depends on the force of the invisible electorate that doesn’t get polled- the “dark matter” of the voting universe
Like the independents, the first time voters and the moderate democrats crossing over because they hate Scott Walker and know Hillary is a fiasco but they are not communist enough to vote for Bernie...and the democrats who are afraid to admit to anyone they voted for trump
That is true, Trump can over perform polls
Polls just have been wrong this season
I think it is a combination of new voters and the difficulty of polling them
And of course turnout, Trump does very well with high turnout primary situations.
He also over performed polls in south Carolina and New Hampshire as well
The only states he has underperformed in are caucus states. I think the whole stand around and discuss your vote thing, stand on one leg while balancing an apple on your head just isn’t appealing to the voting public. So caucuses are geared towards the party die hards and don’t pick up new participants like primaries do.
Doe snot?
Do you understand the difference between a GOP primary audience and a general election audience?
Primaries often produce candidates that can not win in a general election. It's two completely different audiences.
The trick is nominating the most conservative person that CAN win a general election. Trump fails on both counts. He is not a conservative and he has almost no chance at winning a national general election.
Sore Loser laws have been challenged, and by precedent have been ruled ineffective in 48 states. The biggest remaining state that is a real pain is Texas.
I do , but you have to look at enthusiasm a nd there is non e for cruz here in FL.
