I’ll be surprised if he wins TX but CA does not really count for much as they have not gone Republican since Reagan.
"Media criticism" doesn't work when the writer is more in the tank for his candidate than the media is for the other guy.
The mainstream media was never "for" Trump in the way or to the degree that Erick is for Cruz, so his comments aren't really that convincing.
Based on the results in Iowa.
Trump did better than Romney did in 2012 with social conservatives but worse than Romney in the city/suburbs where Rubio showed surprising strength.
Scott county in Eastern Iowa is a good example: Rubio won, Trump came in a close second, and Cruz got almost exactly the same percentage there as Santorum did in 2012.
You do realize the irony of your post?
I know.. By they way people are talking you would think Trump came in at 1%...
Thank you for your thoughtful response. I appreciate it.
I don't care if Trump DANCED at a strip club. If he secures the border and kick the Islams out he's good enough for me.
The Cruz operation had a tremendous ground game.

And here he is wrong as well. Both Cruz and Trump performed within the margin of error for the polls, which was 4 to 5 percent.
Ted was a little higher, Don was a little lower. So in essence, the polling was correct taking into account that MOE.
The one who outperformed the poll MOE was Rubio, coming in higher than the 5 percent margin.
EE is a delta bravo crow.
