Go TED CRUZ! Vote TED CRUZ!!
You got that right!
if Trump wins Iowa, the primary is over and even Texas won’t matter. However, the listing is weird......the order should be highest to lowest and not everything all over the place.
When does Texas vote?
It doesn’t matter. If Cruz doesn’t win in Iowa, an outcome that appears to become less likely every day, his campaign is over.
On the other hand, I am rubbing my hands in anticipation of Jebbie and Rubio getting humiliated in their home state of Florida with Trump and Cruz coming in numbers 1 and 2.
TX doesn’t vote until March 1st. By that time Trump could very well have won IA, NH, SC and NV which will have a big effect on how TX actually votes.
Good news for Ted...lots of delegates from TX...
I’m surprised that positive Cruz news has not been removed from the site yet!
Great! Glad to see it.
Hmmm...
Another suspicious poll. There’s so many of them. I thought generally they’ve shown Trump ahead in Texas, no?
wow.. this caught me off guard.
Texas hasn’t been polled in awhile, and I had been placing Texas in Trump column.
If Texas goes for Cruz... that could extend the primary beyond Florida. Texas isn’t winner take all, but it does have a 20% threshold. This could mean they could end up splitting the delegates between them.
Texas always does the right thing for America. I love the lone star state.
The Texas Primary isn’t until Super Tuesday, March 1.
Is there EVER any truth on y’all’s lips?
Whose poll is this- source?
This is really great news for Sen Cruz. He should win his home state, no?
I believe the GOP bylaws state that for a candidate to be placed for nomination, they must win 8 states by outright majority.
Iirc, Texas’ primary is not winner-take-all but a proportional delegation so a Cruz win or a Trump loss does not make a huge difference. Then again, my recollection is 4-8 years ago.
One little problem. By the time Texas votes, the Primaries will be already over.
Florida is the big one, and Trump is dominating it.
FL : Cruz 22%, Rubio 18%, Trump trailing at 41%
GA : Cruz 29%, Rubio 13%, Trump trailing at 39%
SC : Cruz 21%, Rubio 13%, Trump trailing at 40%
NH : Cruz 16%, Rubio 14%; Trump trailing at 34%
Curious that Jeb Bush is only getting 4%, since he son is Land Commissioner of Texas, and his bro is former Texas Governor and president.
People think that after Iowa it is all over.
Not so.
The first 4 states are relatively small in the grand scheme of things.
I think after the SEC primary, we will have a candidate.
A lot of people have given Trump that already, which today he looks good for it, but a lot can happen in 5 to 6 weeks.
Look at the last 2 to 4 weeks in Iowa alone!
Of the 984 "Likely Republican Voters", 770 of them were self-identified Republicans (according to the same poll).
The respondents to internet polls are a combination of self-selected and pollster selected, not random. I know they have improved methods over the years but that's a real statistical hump, rendering most of them more useful for tracking trends rather than absolutes.
It's good Cruz shows he'll be a formidable candidate in his home state.
