Boom: Cruz 40, Trump 30 in New Wisconsin Poll
Townhall ^ | March 30, 2016 | Guy Benson

Posted on 03/30/2016 2:44:26 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

"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....

He has no chance to get the nomination and is only staying in to hand the choice over to the RNC.
++++
Assume you are running for the GOP nomination for President.

You expect to finish 2nd.

The Primary winner is expected to fall short of the required 1237 votes needed to secure the nomination.

You believe you can win on a second ballot.

What would you do?

I think that is a Democrat talking point.

Trump is strongly supportive of women.

Anyone who says otherwise, is simply trying to build up Hillary early.

Cruz also loses with women, but his margins aren’t as awful and there may be chance to make it up with male voters.

Did any of you Cruz people pass even Pre-Algebra. Let's see Cruz can't even win the nomination of his own party, his raw vote totals are lousy. Trump has MORE female voters than Cruz and yet, Cruz will beat Trump and therefore he just has to beat Hillary. Yes some of you are that dense.

Is this the poll that was taken around Madison?

No this is as legitimate of a pollster that you are ever going to get. They are generally extremely accurate in Wisconsin.

For us really big poll geeks, they release data down to the Congressional District with cross-tabs, so you can project who is winning what district.

Very ungood news for Trump. And this is coming from someone who registered in NY to vote specifically for Trump in 2016. (I sat out 2012 because Romney is RINO scum and wasn't worth registering for to get jury duty in a hopeless RAT state).

The only “boom” is the homosexual blogger Benson who is little more than a Trump stalker at this point. I didn’t see a “boom” when Trump led by 30, or beat Cruz like a drum elsewhere.

Enjoy. Ted will win WI, ND, SD, and Montana. That’s it. Please let me know how that amounts to 650 delegates.

So someone posts an article that seems “anti-Trump” to you and you have to call him a homosexual?

Hillary, GoPe, MSM, short sighted Cruz fans, high-fiving.

Now the reality check.

Only way R win this election is if we have TRump/Cruz ticket, Cruz and his Pacs seems to have destroyed this.

Trump movement is huge and emotional, it dies when Trump is out, and big percentage of those voters are gone.

Only way Cruz is on the ticket is voting Trump off at the convention.

Somebody tell me how Cruz can win Fl or OH, after being absolutely in primaries.

About 450 possible republican voters polled.

It is worth nothing.

For what it is worth, not a very large number of voters to extrapolate.

“Results for the Republican primary are based on 471 likely voters who say they are certain they will vote in the Republican primary in April. That sample has a margin of error of +/-5.8 percentage points.”

I would not be idiotic enough to believe that the convention would EVER turn to Cruz. Of course, I would not run, knowing very well that I am not a Natural Born Citizen.

As for what is “expected”, it is not really expected, just speculated about and hoped for by the enemies of America.

Trump only has to get 53% of the delegates left and the states he will be most popular in are upcoming.

Cruz has no chance, none.

“Did any of you Cruz people pass even Pre-Algebra.”

Numbers for them are like a mirror to a vampire. They WON’T TALK ABOUT IT.

So if their Tee Vee star hero doesn’t get the nomination, does that mean that Trump supporters will just stay home? They won’t vote? They won’t even try to get one of the cars on their front lawn started and head to the polls?

No, polls true.

In the end, it doesn’t matter. Cruz has no way to the needed delegates. Neither does Trump.

In the end, Ryan, mittens, or yeb end up being our nominee.

Its ridiculous that people don’t see whats going on.
