And where are you going to win Rubio? The only state Reagan LOST in 1984????
Oh wait...
Fighting for 2nd place is stupid. He needs to either attack the top dog or get the hell out of the way.
But he’s GOPe and GOPe wants trump over Cruz. That’s why he’s now back to attacking Cruz. He teamed up with Trump in SC against Cruz.
Cruz supporters handle it as fair in politics. Rubio teams up with Cruz against Trump in the Texas debate and Trump supporters cry unfair. I think the thing I dislike the most about Trump is his supporters—many are complete jerks, uneducated and just stupid. And those are the things Trump likes about them...correction...Trump LOVES that about them.
The Rube is a looser.....
This poll was taken Feb 22nd to 28th with 4,200 registered Republicans, MOE of 1 percent. CNN has their own bullshit poll saying the opposite, but with much smaller sample.
"Our results suggest that unless something changes, Trump would emerge victorious in a head-to-head match-up with either Cruz or Rubio. When given only two candidates to choose between, Republicans preferred Trump over Rubio by an 8 percent margin, and they preferred Trump over Cruz by an even larger 13 percent margin. These results suggest that, at present, Trump's standing would not be diminished even if the race were reduced to a two-person contest."

In this PPP poll released 6 days ago, Trump beats both Cruz and Rubio one on one by huge margins in the state of Florida:

If Trump wins Florida it’s pretty much over. That’s 99 Delegates winner takes all. If Trump loses Florida that will continue the story that Trump can’t win big Republican States like Texas and Florida.
Texas isn’t a closed primary.
Wait a second...did you just the other day say NBC polls were garbage? hmmmm...
I remember I used to be like that...then I watched Obama win the election twice!
This is coming from a guy who claimed Cruz won the only "closed primary," even though he lost Arkansas, a closed primary, and is apparently so dumb that he thinks that just having a "closed primary" will guarantee a better Cruz turnout--- despite the fact that poll after poll shows Cruz only doing strongly with "very conservative" and "evangelical" voters, and losing by large margins "conservative," "moderate," and "non-evangelical" voters, who will be more dominant in the primaries to come.
Texas is Cruz’s home state, too.
The other irony by the way is that Trump even dominates “very conservative” voters in places like South Carolina, Nevada, NH and in the deep south. So Cruz’s strongest group isn’t even reliably his. And you expect Cruz to do well in states where “very conservative” aren’t 44 percent of the primary electorate just because they’re “closed.”
[Trump gave money to Hillary, he must like her...]
So he should have donated to Rick Lazio instead???
He might as well flushed his money down the toilet, because such a donation would create the same effect!!
Lazio was a sure-shot to lose!!!
there’s an article posted that claims Trump votes in Texas were flipped to Rubio. So maybe not so big a margin?
Trump gave money to Hillary for the same reason everyone else gives money to the Clintons—extortion.
He’ll never get Minnesota will he, Marco?
While Cruz escaped that unenviable situation, his victory in Texas is decidedly shy of impressive.
In fact, by one measure, it is the least impressive home state primary victory in party history.
A Smart Politics analysis finds that Ted Cruz’s 43.8 percent showing in Texas marks the lowest support ever recorded by a Republican presidential candidate in a home state victory out of the more than five-dozen campaigns to win their home state since 1912.
What about money to Reverend Al???
If Trump is so tough and principled, why did he give money to Pelosi, Reid, Schumer??? Doesn't that bother you just a little?
How about not donating money at all if you don't like that candidate?
So its OK with you for a so-called Republican to give boat loads of money to libs like Schumer, Reid, Pelosi and the Reverend Al? Or is OK with you that Trump thinks Planned Parent does great work?
Or that he thinks his sister, a big time lib, would make a great supreme court jurist?
Talk about RINOitis, its spreading on FreeRepublic big time...
Neither one of them is going to win.
Yes if you ignore all the polls that show otherwise you’re spot on.
Open Primaries. Geesshh I thought you’d realize that by now. You know there are democrats and liberals in all those states.
