Boom: Cruz 40, Trump 30 in New Wisconsin Poll

"No matter what he does, Trump always goes up in the polls!" That's the line Trump followers routinely employ when their man dives face-first into the latest unseemly controversy du jour -- including, most recently, spreading conspiracy theories to justify attacking and threatening Ted Cruz's wife. The reality is that while Trump's boorish showmanship doesn't harm his standing among a certain percentage of the GOP primary electorate, it most certainly hurts him among voters generally. The brash billionaire's overall unfavorable ratings have swelled to the mid-60's, spiking into the stratosphere among women. And now we have a fresh data point pertaining to Republican voters in the crucial primary state of Wisconsin, where voters head to the polls next Tuesday. If Trump manages to prevail in Badgerland -- which boasts a robust and distinctly anti-Trump conservative talk radio culture and a conservative governor who's endorsed Cruz -- his victory would likely confer a sense of inevitability upon Trump's candidacy. With New York looming, this is about as close to a must-win as Cruz is going to face in the month of April. A new survey from Marquette Law School, widely viewed as the gold standard polling outfit in the state, shows Cruz erasing Trump's ten-point February lead and leaping out to a ten-point advantage of his own....

Authoritative pretending absolutes have a bad habit of bouncing back in one’s face.

Guy Benson citing a commie Marquette poll is to be expected. Benson has an IQ of an ape.

You don’t know that arrogantsob.....if this thing goes to convention nobody knows what will happen there....and the delegates are still out there now for the taking.....

I’ll continue to stand with Cruz until we have a winner....we don’t yet.

[arrogantsob]

Work on your sentence structure before posting snide remarks.

[arrogantsob]

I know what the numbers say and that is “hasta la vista, Ted.”

[X-spurt]

I’m so sorry that zipped right over your head. We’ll send the remedial reading teacher around on Thursday.

[arrogantsob]

Incorrect usage does not get by my head. Yours didn’t.

[arrogantsob]

Absolutes pretending authority have a bad habit of bouncing back in one’s face. Much better.

...”I know what the numbers say and that is “hasta la vista, Ted.”...

The same was said about Reagan at this time...the only thing that is certain is things will indeed change as this moves along.....and it's not just about numbers...it's also about what some have others want and need, about who will switch and who won't and where, it's about delegates and rules, it's about voters and countless other variables. It certainly isn't just about what pundits say that it is. ....

Game is still on,... players still playing...no winner yet...but you can be assured there will be ONE winner. My guys out there 'working' his ground game...

Nice little gatherings which are probably one tenth those attending Trump’s.

Fortunately, the numbers don’t lie. Reagan never had any opponent in the primaries lead him by 21 pts. Didn’t happen so find some other falsehood to obscure reality. That dog won’t hunt.

War came to Chicago and Cruz joined the Enemy.

He admits he’s a fudge packer. Why he hates Trump so much is difficult to explain, but he’s become very annoying with his histrionics.

Ironic - wonder what he thinks of cRuz supporter Pastor Swanson.
