Cruz should establish a compound somewhere, like in Guyana, and stock up on Kool-Aid packets

I'm just flagging this because if/when Cruz falls off the deep end with Beck, it really makes a good tagline and I'll forget who to thank. ;-)

I am fine with Kasich really with Rubio as vice. But I think you are wrong. Rubio is rising and will be fine once the field grows smaller.

Nice Rasmussen poll today.

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2016/clinton_vs_trump_whom_do_voters_trust_on_the_big_issues?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=DailyNewsletter

Especially this.....Voter trust breaks along predictably partisan lines. Voters not affiliated with either major party tend to lean in Trump’s direction. (THAT is what will win this election!)

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds that Trump leads when it comes to the economy, job creation and immigration. Clinton has held her lead on social issues but has widened her advantage on the environment. The two are virtually tied now when voters are asked whom they trust more to handle national security.

That’s only for those on this site. All the liberal/moderate/uninformed are still waiting to decide.

Debates no longer matter and are just a type of reality show.

"Carson is the most popular. Yet has the least amount of support..."

I agree. Carson is a QUALITY human being. No question.

Unfortunately, what America needs is someone to wade into the den of snakes & thieves who is totally aware of the game and how it's played. SOmeone who can be RUTHLESS if necessary.

The ONLY candidate that fits that profile is TRUMP.

I think it shows that the candidate has supporters and an organization. I've been the guy calling and knocking on doors in the past.

I agree with you completely on this. I have been there and done that also. That is the most traditional form of politicking and can probably still be the most effective especially when combined with modern data to target your efforts. But it is far more difficult to set up, can be expensive, takes a dedicated group of followers and training. Still it can't be any where near as bad as Bush spending $1200 per vote.

I hadn’t stopped to think about it, but, as a person, I think I like Dr Carson better than anyone else in the race.

He’s not my choice for President, though.

The Trump naysayers just need to get on board with a winner and hold his feet to the fire when he’s in. It’s either that or Bernie or Hillary. It’s really a no brainer. He’s winning on his signature platform of immigration. We should run with it.

“Ted Cruz has worst favorability in SC at 42/48”

The only surprise is how closely the electorate is paying attention, because I’ve thought all along that the sleazier Cruz gets, the more he’s going to lose votes as more and more people figure out he’s really just another politician and a really nasty one at that.

I hadn’t looked at Rasmussen much recently, but the poll you linked to is very interesting.

Hope you saw the Battleground Poll, where they were asked which was more likely to affect their support:

*Candidates’ reactions to news stories was in a large majority
*Candidates’ campaign contacts (i.e., “ground game”=3%.

Sounds like a “ground game” won’t matter in SC like it did in IA.
