Back for a few, then got to go again...will post more as I find:
New presidential poll shows Cruz leading Trump 30-25 in Texas
looks like a slot machine with lots of trump faces lol.
wow.
looks like a fellow NYer is going to be the nominee.
i’ve always been too brutal of a realist and dont see my guy Cruz having a chance from the looks of it.
Thank goodness i dont run his campaign or give motivational speeches!
;>)
I am Scots-Irish, as was Elvis, John Wayne and General Patton to name a few. LOL I also have German blood.
thanks!!
just got a brutal website link from someone that shows trump leading practically every state!! :(
that link is at post 21
Good company :)
Being better than Hillary or Bernie? That is such a low bar, almost anyone could fit under it. Even Gilmore would be better.

Things can turn around really quickly. Gingrich won South Carolina on the strength of a strong debate performance. I’m pretty sure he was not leading the polls before that. The GOP South Carolina debate is on Saturday.
This is still a weird race, because the establishment candidates are all pretty weak. Bush got all the donor money but Rubio is the only one who ever performed respectably in the polls. The “outsider” candidates Cruz and Trump are in a very good monetary situation, unlike Santorum and Gingrich last time. They’re also topping the polls.
One thing’s the same, Fox and the media is desperately spinning against Cruz the same way they span against Gingrich. Fox, very late in the game now started pushing Rubio the way they pushed Romney for months.
Cruz still has a fighting chance to beat Trump, especially in the southern states. The Cruz/Trump battle is really shaping up to be like the Santorum/Romney battle, where the more red states, religious states go for Santorum or Cruz, and the latter go for Romney and Trump. But Romney had a big monetary and organizational advantage over Santorum, while Cruz seems better positioned despite Trump’s deep pockets.
I still wonder though if Cruz is an unstoppable force and Trump is an immovable object, while the establishment candidate continues to pull delegates for himself, if we’ll end up with a brokered convention. That seems like a strong possibility. And then I don’t really know how easy it is to maneuver to win at the convention. Cruz will have all the expertise to know what to do, but if Rubio and Trump can cut a deal, they could do it and leave Cruz out.
Trump is likely to win NH, but many of the other states are closer. Cruz should do well in the South. If an establishment candidate emerges, then he might do well in many of the less conservative states.
The race is still young.
Hillary 57
Burney 25
That’s kind of what I expected the southern states to look like. I’ll be really surprised if Hillary doesn’t crush The Bern on SEC Tuesday.
Cruz Surging and within striking distance in Oklahoma:

Within the margin of error in NC
GGG you are making me feel better already. I am trying to stay out of the political primary threads because I have gotten into some knock down drag out arguments and don’t want to get booted lol. I feel bad about it now but I even lashed out at Palin for backing Trump. It was her right. later on she said she likes having him in the Senate for now. That was a classy response. it’s not like she doesn’t like him anymore. you would think I want a guy I worked down the block from becoming president of the United States. I guess it’s just one New Yorker not trusting another lol
He’s within 8 pts in TN, and Trump falling fast

Oops, that is national poll...you are right...this stuff is hard to find!
I’M going to look into it more when I get off this crappy phone and get behind a computer again.
Lol. I don’t have the make up for two years of elections.
State by state.. I think trump is one trumpertantrum away from going too far.
He’ll do well in the north east, but as he moves south and west his personality will cause people to pause and think before voting. Just like they did in Iowa. He’ll play to packed houses but at the booth...
His liberal views and NY personality doesn’t play well folks who say ‘Sir’ and ‘Ma’am’ at the dinner table.
being from New York City, I can say it is a world of difference. Even someone who is very conservative like me would need an adjustment. Moving south. In a good way, but still an adjustment. We are very blunt and maybe coarse because it seems like there is not enough time to be anyway else. I loved walking the city streets after work at 2am. I loved it more than anything in the world but the city will spit you out if you show too much kindness or vulnerability. at 47 I am more than ready to leave but I hate the hot weather lol.
