I’ve been here since 2001 (different name back then), and I’ve heard Rush called worse. Him mentioning that the “Freepers are going to hate him for this” is how I found this site.

And it really isnt anything new to see criticism for all manner of talk radio hosts From Micheal Gallagher, Medved, Ingrham, O’reilly Dr. Laura, Savage, Beck, to Alex Jones and other...election or not.

It was nice of Bryan Fischer to pen this missive for Cruz after Cruz was too much of a political coward to show up at his own rally with the guy.

The false assumption is of course that had early voters waited they might have voted for Cruz. But there is no evidence to support that assumption.

Why DEMS are Terrified of Trump

Ted Cruz on the other hand may just bring out more Dem voters in support of Hillary.

No doubt a surge. He won 2.5 states Saturday, every poll showed him at least 10 points less than he got, some way more. Whoa Nelly Maine, as Maine goes so goes the country.
Same with some states from last Tuesday.

That just goes to show that you did not read the article. Which stated that Trump won Louisiana because of the lead he gained from early voting. The article did not say trump lost. It said he lost in the ballots cast on saturday.

So in the big scheme of life what is it supposed to mean?

It means that there was a large movement toward Cruz in the final days of the race in LA. I think the debate may have had an impact there, damaging both Trump and Rubio, but that is just my opinion. The question is whether or not that trend will continue through tomorrow and beyond.

We will see how real this is tomorrow and on March 15. If Cruz wins or finishes second in either OH, FL, IL, or MI, then he is indeed surging. If he finishes third or worse in these states, he has stalled.

Well lets see, by all the polling data, and the early voting totals Trump should have walked away with four complete and total victories. Yet on Saturday Trump got his butt spanked in Kansas, was beat down in Maine and barely squeaked out victories in Ky, and La

It means that while Trump was 16 points ahead according to the polls, Cruz closed the gap to 3 points. If Louisiana had not had early voting, Cruz would have won the state.

Trump owes his success in Louisiana to early voters, because the people who voted on Saturday preferred Cruz.

True but Cruz had a horrid super Sunday. Of course the lying media won’t say it. I feel for Cruz when the media turns on him. It’s coming. It’s not fun. Trump is being thrown everything including the kitchen sink at him.

Four to five point wins are barely squeaked out when Trump does it, but I guess Iowa, Alaska, and Oklahoma were blowouts.

Too bad Cruz didn’t “surge” when almost all the Southeast voted..

oh Sorry I forgot that Trump Supporters swear oaths of allegiance to Trump, that all polls are accurate to the letter if they show Trump ahead, and that previous vote totals always show how the next election will turn out.

If one looks at the data, Trump brings out larger crowds of voters. However where is the data that shows that Cruz doesn’t as well on election day, or the data that shows the voters Donald brings out only vote for him?

Second Looking at the early voting in Louisiana Rubio got twenty percent, and on election day only got nine percent. You can’t mean to say Rubio who in all those poll Trump touts is in second place with 23 to 24 percent, and manages to only get 17 percent of the vote.

I know you are talking Kansas, but all four of those states showed the same thing. Trump, Rubio, and Kasich under preformed their poll numbers, while Cruz did better.

You mention Kansas, but if Trump is such a paragon of virtue, then he will renounce his victory in Nevada. Where people wearing gear from his campaign, and openly supporting him where the ones ensuring the fairness of the election. Not checking ID, Separating the Voters when other candidates speakers went to speak, withholding ballots from legal voters, etc, etc, etc.

“Surge” and “momentum” are pure media manipulation.

I never said that, but with Trumps lead in all of the polls for which he takes as gospel. He should be winning every election with 20 percent leads, and when he doesn’t it begs the question of why?
