You may be right. I just don't see the GOP leaving anything to chance this year. I know in 2012 Romney donors to the RNC had half of their money sent to the GOP state apparatus. It was called a scam and eventually uncovered.
Well of course he is. After all, we're practically in Canada.
"Cruz is also performing strongly in Google searches in Kentucky and other states. In the past, this has sometimes been a good indicator of a candidate who is drawing a lot of last-minute interest from voters."
Daaaaang I’m depressed. The establishment/globalists might just get their coup after all...
It looks like Cruz is stealing Ben Carson’s votes again in both Kansas and Maine.
18.2% in Maine
Cruz 45%
Trump 36%
Wow! Bowling Green = poll Cruz won the polling station exit poll Cruz -35 % Trump 25%.
I believe they would do it. But once it got out they lose my voteforever.
Yes, it’s interesting that there are so many last-minute decisions regarding voting.
I will vote for Cruz or Trump in the General, however, Cruz has little to no chance of winning purple states and he won’t win any blue states. His path to the White House is more narrow than his path to 1237 delegates.
Definitely not how we FReepers roll.
The liberals dont want Trump to win for sure.
Cruz has little to do with Wall Street. If anything Wall Street has backed Bush, Rubio and Kasich. I watch CNBC all day and I have never heard one person say a good word about Cruz. And they will happily chose Hillary over Bernie.
Isn’t it a bad thing that Cruz can only pull from Republican voters? I have to check but I THINK everyone is allowed to vote in November. I’ll get back to you on that
If Cruz does well today the following people will be thrilled:
Bush
Rubio
Romney
Ryan
Megyn Kelly
Brett Bair
Chris Wallace
Roger Ailes
and all of the gopE who want a brokered convention. And everyone of them hates Cruz as much, if not more, than they hate Trump.
In my earlier delegate estimate today I did NOT give Trump the majority of KS delegates. I did give him ME, but the difference in delegates if he loses here will be around 4-5. Won’t have much impact on total numbers.
One thing is clear: Cruz does better in caucus states where his followers can intimidate people who aren’t “pros” in the political system.
If you are in a group and they are talking God and Cruz, and no one else is standing up for Trump, I can see a lot of intimidation movement.
For Cruz this might be his first real “northern/eastern” win. He is definitely strong in the “corn belt from TX to NE. I’m guessing he’ll also take NE, which I did not include in ANYONE’s delegates when I did my count.
Lovin’ those numbers.
Absolutely not. They think he’s the spawn of Satan.
Yeah, baby, big time.
Just so you know, the only Primary today is Louisiana, the others are caucus’
