Title says it all. Will there be a recount?
“...McCain will bash trump until the primary day non stop.”
McCain has his own electoral problems. If he’s smart, he’ll keep a low profile.
Lost my cup of water on that one, I like it
Trump: I’ll take the win even if its by 1 vote
Though the delegates will be split between Cruz & Trump.
I like it!
You are correct—Trump underperforms the polls.
He will continue to do so right until we walks into the Oval Office as the next President. :-)
The link in post 25 very good. At that page, click ‘presidential preference poll’, hit Submit. Shows final tally 382,000 something for Trump, 380,000 something for Cruz.
Yeah, but his lifetime number of days of not being a dual citizen is growing....just think, in May of 2016, it will be 2 whole years!
I give Mr. Trump credit for standing strong through all the pummeling he’s been receiving and for demonstrating Presidential-style leadership through this grueling campaign. I’ll give Mr. Cruz credit for having a substantial block of supporters in an extensive spread across the country. Let’s overlook our differences and disappointments over past events and disagreements and come together in unity. Trump for President, Cruz for VP.
“He was supposed to only lose TX and MN”
Where did you get that? I pay close attention. No one has ever said that he would win every race, just most of them.
Cruz got beat by 1MILLION votes in OH and FL alone. Rubes/Kasich or not, Cruz cannot compete in a broad swath of states.
Last polls had Trump ahead, he’s got the endorsement of Jan Brewer and Joe Arpio. I’m hoping he can pull off a win in AZ, it’s 58 WINNER TAKE ALL delegates. Utah is 40 delegates, but is proportional, so if he keeps it close in UT, he could pretty much split the delegates, maintaining his overall lead against Cruz.
I appreciate your posts, and I share your frustration. I appreciate anyone doing thoughtful analysis, whether they support Cruz, Trump, or anyone else. The ad hominem attacks are getting really old.
“After the absolute pummeling trumps been taking from dems AND repubs is it really surprising that his lead has been shrinking. Bending but not breaking. I actually find it unbelievable. I don’t think any other candidate could withstand what trumps been dealing with.”
If that were the case, it would be reflected in the polls prior to the voting. In Trump’s case, he just underperforms relative to his competition. I suspect you have a lot of folks who decide to vote Cruz (usually) in the voting booth who were previously undecided or were going to vote for Rubio or Kasich.
zzzzzzzzzz
Why do all othef sources, incl the state itself, say 100%. In any case, I do not believe absentees have been counted.
Excellent substantive retort. Trump falls short, by significant numbers, more than half of the time... and the other half, basically meets expectations. You cheer the polls showing him ahead, and then deny the polls immediately after someone shows that he doesn’t get those numbers... and you reply with empty stupidity and dismissals. You simply show yourself to have nothing intelligent to contribute. Well done.
“The GOP had seen record primary turnout mostly for Trump anyhow but also for Cruz which makes losing that much harder for Cruz folks who know without Trump around they’d be at 600 delegates”
Without Trump drawing the heavy fire from the GOPe it would have all been aimed at Cruz. And I don’t think his campaign could have survived it alone. Cruz fans are dreaming if they think this would have been easier for them without Trump in the contest.
