And Rubio beats him too, but only if Cruz drops out. So which one will drop out first?

Guess we’ll find out on Saturday if non-stop reposts of outlier polls on FR will translate to votes!

“NBC surveyed 400 registered Republican voters. The poll has a margin of error of 4.9 percentage points”

1. NBC
2. 400 voters divided by 50 states = 8 voters polled per state
3. 4.9% MOE

and best of all:

“When is the national primary”???

The nationwide doesn’t show that yet. As far as South Carolina voting begins
in about 60 hours and results will begin to emerge in 72 hours.

I would like to congratulate each and every Cruz supporter for this certain South Carolina victory in three days.

All the best.

So what significance will it have if Trump “outperforms” this poll by the margins predicted by every other poll that has been taken in the same time period?

And Trump is still leading bigtime in every poll. Go figure. Maybe if you just post this a few more times. :-)
