With all due respect to Trump, he is pulling in poll numbers, but not votes. Trump underperforms his polling almost ever time. (Possibly buying polls? It would explain things.) Cruz was supposed to win only TX by the polling, and he has won AK, IA, KS, ME, OK, and TX. KS was polling Trump 35-29 on 3/3, and ended 23-48 Cruz on 3/5. That's massive... a 31 pt swing in two days.
Trump folks like to pretend that caucuses (caucii?) are somehow just cabals of a few politically-connected voters, but the only actual difference is that primaries are secret ballots while caucuses allow open discussions, mostly meaning fewer hours for the polls to be open. That's all... and OKL is a primary state that was polling 32-20 Trump on 2/28, and ended 28-34 Cruz on 3/1... an 18 pt swing in 2 days among 450,000 voters in a primary state
More importantly, Trump is polling behind Hillary, and he has yet to outperform a single poll by more than the margin of error.
Dumb post. Trump buying polls?? OK. He’s buying the media polls, yeah right. Actually, Trump is performimg his polls just fine. Caucuses are a ridiculous way to select a candidate and they cannot be polled with a large degree of certainty. But Trump is most certainly polling to expectation in primary states. If anyone is underperforming in primary states, it’s Cruz. Worst tallies for a homestate candidate in 108 years with his Texas “win”. Ted was pathetic in Texas. Ted can only win caucuses and very conservative and very religious voters. Hell of a coalition to win in November isnt it?
With all due respect, Cruz has about as much chance of beating Hillary or any Dem, as I do in running in and winning the NYC marathon race.
Look at the numbers, he is over 600,000 votes ahead of Ted, that says it all. That and 12-6 states won.
“More importantly, Trump is polling behind Hillary”
OY! You sounded like you actually believed what you saying for awhile there.
