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

"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....

Trump has already voided the Woman card. It will be useless to Mrs Cosby. He is FAR from clueless here. The others yes totally.

Married women vote Republican, single women Democrat.

Hillary’s main support is old women.

BOOM, President Trump.

I used to agree, but now I think the GOP may hand it to Cruz knowing he’s unelectable but pleasing to some in the base.

Typical deception.

So a bunch of media hacks, after months of trying to destroy Trump, decide to latch on to a serial LIAR in a last ditch effort to accomplish their goals.

You have to be kidding me?

Oh, My. Someone from rumpshaker objects. Run, hide, surrender.

Fortunately, when you are a fighter you beat this kind of crap nine ways from Sunday.

But you like a Talker, not a DO’ER.

“...things will change.”

Yes, just not in Cruz’s favor. The important change will be that Trump is entering into his home court where he will do even BETTER than he did in the conservative South. You do recall he won EVERY Southern state by comfortable or BIG margins, don’t you?

On the other hand Cruz is going after his LEAST likely voters and has not done well where he expected to have success.

In reality, his campaign so far has been pretty pitiful not even winning a third of the votes Trump has received.

The problem with that is that Trump represents and even bigger share of the “base”. The share supporting Cruz is the least reliable portion, likely to go off when the nominee is not “conservative” enough for them - i.e. people 55-60 of the voters would actually vote for.

See Romney.

yessiree. i was willing to vote for trump if cruz didnt win but not sure i can do that now. he is such a whiner. i have already had this for eight years, why do we want more. its always the same thing....when anyone questions him about anything....in that boring, I-am-superior voice he brings up polls, how many votes he has, what people say about him, etc. rarely anything of substance on the issues. i can now hardly wait to see what kind of punishment we can come up with for women who have abortions.

They can BS Poll all they want, it won’t alter the reality that Trump has been able to alienate the greatest number of voters in recorded history.

Heck, who knows it may even be playing out in New York.
