yep it is the swing states we have to look so here it is.

VA Trump won, but Cruz never won a single county.
FL cruz could come 2nd possibly though I am here and it does not look like it.
OH That is between Kasich and Trump so maybe cruz might come third again there.
CO, Not sure about there as I can’t see many voters for a certain candidate. I will wait on someone who knows the state more.

What poll is that and did Reagan not be behind by over 20 points to Cater by this time?

Cruz wins in states with closed primary - only Republicans vote.......

Trump wins in open primary where independents and even Democrats can vote for him....

It will not matter unless Cruz can gain significant support outside his core constituencies. Mormons that can have that kind of influence are condensed in few states. He lost all of the South except his home state of Texas (where he fell short of 50%). There are many states left where he is not expected to do well. Outside of caucuses, in how many states can he finish first ? In a general election, what states other than reliably Republican states can he carry ?

Idaho was +32 for Romney in Nov 2012.
I’m sure Republicans don’t have to spend a penny for those 4 evs.

Yes. I cannot imagine Rubio supporters voting for Donald Trump.

Nobody cares about Idaho?

Hey, I did not know that.

What an interesting and delightful fact.

At this moment on Fox News, it looks like Megan Kelly is on her knees smoking Ted Cruz with an audience stacked with all Cruz supporters cheering them on.

The polls for Trump are on average with 2% of his actual results. The polls are good.

But for some reason, they are off by over 25% for Cruz.

No other candidate is off as much as Cruz. Both Kasich and Rubio are within 10%.

So why are pollsters consistently off when they report the Cruz numbers?

I guess 1 out of 3 is much better than 0 out of 3.


And the other side will say.

“Two out of three, ain’t bad.”

Indont get the offense and worry over polls.

Wins at the polls that matter, for any candidate, is the job.

If the Cruz camp wants to pump up the team with some rah rah, go ahead. Win more on election day, and it wouldn’t be necessary.

“Let me encourage other members of the establishment: Keep supporting Donald Trump because every time you do it, what it is doing is telling conservatives all over the country is where you stand and who stands with you”.

Yes, Trump is winning the democrat vote now.

I wonder why?

Trumpers would like to think that he is drawing democrats into the fold.

What an interesting fold that would be with trumpers and democrats.

But is that why?

Could they be voting for Trump because it is widely assumed that he would lose to Hillary?

Did you ask those people or are you going to vote for them?
