As an Aerospace Mechanical Engineer, I "paint by the numbers" ...

The vote tally difference between Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio was 0.20 percent ... a minor difference ...

a "statistical tie" in the eyes of folks who work with numbers (such as engineers, navigators etc) ...


That being said, as a staunch Ted Cruz Florida campaigner, I'm nevertheless compelled to congratulate Rubio (whom I despise) for his mathematical second place South Carolina finish ...



All that being said, I'll also say that it's a "mathematical certainty" that Donald Trump ...

benefited by South Carolina's open primary where many (exact number unknown)

Code Pink, 9-11 Truther Lunatics, Abortion Mill Planned Parenthood supporters and Black Lives Matter "Community Organizers" voted for ... The Donald.

And whether they openly admit it ... EVERY Donald Trump supporter (with any intelligence) quietly knows that I speak "da truth" on this subject.

Nevertheless ... my "genuine" political battlefield congratulations to Donald Trump for enlisting the Armies of Mordor to defeat "Reagan Conservatism" in South Carolina

Indeed ... as General George S. Patton, Jr. would opine ...

Victory is victory ...



Wonderfully ...ALL of America's Conservative Patriots have tasted VICTORY in South Carolina where the "unsinkable" U.S.S. Jeb Bush juggernaut was SUNK with heavy ($ 100 million) losses ...


=============================


Ted Cruz invested significant time (one year), money and organization in fighting to win South Carolina ...

I was personally invited to campaign there as a volunteer ...

Somehow, Ted Cruz came in third ... DEEPLY disappointing ... even though it's a statistical tie with Marco "Amnesty" Rubio ...

I would project tonight that Ted Cruz feels as badly as General Washington after one of his many Revolutionary War defeats ...

or as badly as General Eisenhower after the NAZIs kicked America's @ss at Kasserine Pass ...



Will Ted Cruz learn to effectively counter-punch to VICTORY like the U.S. Navy at the Battle of Midway ?

Ten Million still-fightin' and PRAYING Ted Cruz campaigners say "YES" !

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Really? for Trump? that many to give Trump the margin of victory? I mean you're talking 75,000 votes.

I think I saw an exit poll where they estimated less than 2% of the vote was cross-over voters. The Sanders/Hillary battle is too close for the democrats to worry about what is going on in the GOP primary.

You talking about the evangelicals?

They were 75% of the voters, and Trump won that demographic.

If it makes you feel better to think Trumps yuuuge victory in SC was due to crossovers, by all means continue to think that. But if you’re an engineer, you should know better, simply ‘by the numbers.’ There is no way there were that many crossover voters, per exit polls and just the reality of the situation on the D side. Across the spectrum of R voters, Trump won. Period. He didn’t need crossovers.

I don’t know where you got the information that Trump got more cross-over ever votes...

I’d be very happy to read the references. Please feel free to post, and ping me if you do.

All of the anecdotal evidence from the exit interviews showed dems voting for Kasich and Rubio in an attempt to shape’ the race with a more ‘acceptable’ republican candidate.

From the exit polls:
Less than 4% of voters were non-white. (They didn’t shape the race)
Urban voters are one of the categories Rubio won, meaning urban libs didn’t flock to Trump.
Trump scored almost there same percentage among republicans as he did independents (32/33) and Dems made up only 2pct of the vote.
** It’s also worth noting, the exit polls were completely consistent with the final vote tally.

So, again, if you know of other information available to back up your claim that your statements are a truth that everyone knows, please post and please ping me. I’m interested in relevant and verifiable information, regardless of whom it favors.
