Dick Morris: Trump Helped 'Massive Exodus' to Cruz
NewsMax ^ | March 13, 2016 | Dick Morris

Posted on 03/13/2016 9:36:14 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Polling begun and completed after the March 10 debate shows radical changes in Ohio and Illinois ahead of their March 15 primaries. In both primaries, Ted Cruz is surging, on the strength of a strong debate performance.

In Ohio, a winner take all primary with 66 delegates on the line, the latest poll by CBS, conducted from March 9-11, shows Trump and Kasich tied at 33% each with Ted Cruz surging to 27% up from his pre-debate showing of 19%.

Easy to dismiss as an outlier? Not if you also look at CBS' Illinois poll that has Trump leading by 38-34 over Cruz after he had held a 34-25 lead earlier in the week....

Crap. I was hoping for a good night for Cruz on Tuesday, and now Dick Morris has jinxed it.

Rubio votes switching to Cruz ..to be expected. Morris is very anti-Trump and in forever spin mode for Cruz. It will be funny to see Cruzers brag about Dick Morris’s credibility..which of course there is no credibility

Not buying Dick Morris’ assertion. Never trust a toe sucker.

LOL. Morris.

"Cruz is very likely to win this whole thing," Morris said in post-caucus coverage Monday night. "He's going to go into New Hampshire with a great deal of momentum coming from Iowa, and [Donald] Trump has been proven fallible. He's been proven not immortal, and I think it's going to be a very tight three-way race in New Hampshire."

New Hampshire will be a toss-up between Cruz, real-estate mogul Trump and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Morris said.

"South Carolina, Cruz is going to win," he said. "The evangelical vote, the conservative vote will line up for him and he'll win South Carolina fairly handily."

At that point, Cruz will ride a wave to the SEC Primary on March 1 and take the entire south including his home state of Texas and capture all 152 delegates

“Crap. I was hoping for a good night for Cruz on Tuesday, and now Dick Morris has jinxed it.”

These polls would be interesting if anyone other than Morris had pointed them out :)

“When Trump said that there were only two candidates who could win — he and Cruz — he may have unintentionally caused a massive exodus from Kasich and Rubio to the Texan.”

Trump did that on purpose.

Cruz is taking votes away from Rubio in Florida and from Kasich in Ohio.

This will likely result in a Trump win in both states.

What kind of crowds has Cruz been drawing? I’m really curious.

Presidents McCain and Romney couldn’t be reached for comment regarding Morris’ latest prediction.

It was noted that Cruz wins are in caucus States.

Dick Morris is known for the impossible - being more wrong about Politics than Bill Kristol.

Cruz will not win Illinois, Ohio, or NC.

He may win Missouri because of Jeff Roe and the make up of the electorate there - mid western/South Western evangelicals are Cruz voters.

How soon you forget...

” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is seeing a surge in support just one day before voters cast their ballots in the South Carolina Republican Primary”

The surge was go great he didn’t win a single frickin’ delegate and Jeb! surged right out of the race.
