When do polls close?

[wardaddy]

No surprise Cruz takes caucus states and last Kansas poll was almost within margin

Not many polls on Kansas

Last RCP poll had Christie up in Maine way back

Today will be about like expected

[ConservingFreedom]

What is happening is the GOPe machine is rolling out all the intimidation and exhortation it can to move the Rubes voters to Cruz.

So Trump has done what nobody else could do: get the GOPe to support a conservative. Thanks, Don!

[CottonBall]

I heard the lies myself.

it is fact.

your attacks, however, are just spewing mindless insults.

[napscoordinator]

I am so frustrated with the media. Saying that Cruz is having a great night. What the heck? He won Kansas with 20,000 votes. Does anyone on Earth think that is great? I mean really. I never expected Trump to win every state. They have already said that winning 3 states is better then winning 7 states on Super Tuesday and now they are crowing about how Cruz is having a great day? What? So insane.

[CottonBall]

You will be disappointed - the GOPe will either never support Cruz or if they do, he is not a conservative. Do you really trust them that much?

[Albion Wilde]

I also noticed that last time around, a lot of the news outlets were purposely holding back on reporting Trump’s lead until the eleventh hour. This time, they may be purposely flacking Cruz’s leads in the hope of inflating his results.

I think the entire system is so flawed. The media and all this polling going on are trying to take the place of actual voting.

[The Toll]

America won’t even be able to name the candidate that’s running against Hillary if it’s not Trump.

[Elyse]

Well, I’m pretty sure Trump isn’t conservative and if I felt like typing I could make a much longer list than you. Jim has asked us to support our candidates and lay off giving ammunition to the enemy. We are going to have to unite soon and if you aren’t with us, you are against us, talking about writing in another candidate is going to be probably be zot worthy.

LS says they already are.

or if they do, he is not a conservative. Do you really trust them that much?

I trust them not at all - nor Trump. But the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

How dare you call anyone who supports Trump a cultist. That’s a low blow even for a Sen Cruz supporter.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Rubio is below the 10% threshold in Maine, and Kasich is just on the border. Cruz may end up with 13 or 14 of the delegates out of 23.

[Elyse]

I love this post! ~high five~

Well, could always just leave it blank. Not a fan of being told who to vote for by someone else. That's how the GOPe has existed for quite a while.

"Look what he surrounds himself with. Glenn Beck? A guy that wants to murder another candidate?"

If you would stop plugging your ears or closing your eyes, and listen to what other have said over and over, maybe you would stop spreading that lie.

Take time to read and then listen to the video.

They were talking about when the candidates all said they would support whoever the nominee was even if it was Trump. Then Glenn says, "I don't know what I would have done if I were sitting in their shoes." "Eh a, I can't say it that way." "If I were on the stage I would have said, have you been listening to him, tonight?" "Have you been listening to what I say about him?" Then Stu interrupts, and says "Also why would you be sitting in someones shoes?" Then Pat says, "Sitting would be weird." Then Stu says "I mean were they gigantic shoes?" (Glenn is Big) Then Glenn says, "Only if I were close enough, and I had a knife, the stabbing just wouldn't stop."

It is clear that was directed at Stu. They joke like this all the time. Glenn Becks Conversation on stabbing Stu

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

The last poll (just two days ago) in Kansas had Trump up by 6. Looks like Cruz won by 25+. What would you say that poll was worth?

[ConservingFreedom]

Thanks!

So far all indications are Ted Cruz is going to have a super Saturday.

About time! Cruz fizzled out in the south on super Tuesday.

[true believer forever]

I am so frustrated with the media. Saying that Cruz is having a great night. What the heck? He won Kansas with 20,000 votes. Does anyone on Earth think that is great? I mean really. I never expected Trump to win every state. They have already said that winning 3 states is better then winning 7 states on Super Tuesday and now they are crowing about how Cruz is having a great day? What? So insane.

Three things that should have a calming effect, Naps:

1. Huck won KS with 60% and Santorum with 51%, so historically it is proven unimpactful.

2. The media are pushing and blessing Cruz right now, per their complicity with the GOPe, Conservative media Elite, and the RNC to use Cruz to get Trump out. Once that's accomplished, then they load out on Cruz. He will go down in record time. Then guess who comes floating to the top? Rubio or Kasich.

3. Cruz has only received scatter shot attacks so far. How do you think he would or could withstand the last week's onslaught against him? Do you really think Cruz could stand for 2 hours taking what Trump did and stay cool? How about all the underbelly stuff that hasn't even made the light of day yet re Cruz. This is a very temporary victory. Let them have their moment, Cruz supporters, I mean.

4. Cheer up, this too shall pass.

Defending Glenn Beck was your first mistake.
