Hardly. Are you from Miami....or even Florida?
The Donald is not nearly as unpopular with the rank and file Republicans as certain partisan spokespeople seen to think. There is this belief that “only” 35-40% are pro-Trump, a figure I question immediately. There are still competing candidates for the nomination, and the jury is still out about whether any of the others is particularly better than than The Donald in terms of both electability, and of leadership should the job happen to be bestowed upon him.
There is this continued assertion that The Donald “can’t win” in a toe-to-toe contest with Herself, perhaps the WORST candidate in terms of likability and judgment the Left-dominated Democrat party could have come up with.
Herself is the sullen ex-wife who engineered a massive support settlement, and is now being uncommonly nasty and vindictive as attempts to increase the settlement have come up on the docket.
Gloria Swanson, gone on long after her expiration date.
Lived there about 16 years, but not now. Look at the last elections and primaries; the results there tend to be all over the place. It is definitely no longer a reliable conservative or even GOP role model.
Florida. More complex than portrayed. Closed primary, but state has a large illegal population and a significant number of Midwest retirees. AZ is similar. Cruz gets the Mormon vote in Gilbert and up north along the CO border, but hardpressed beyond those two areas.
It is definitely no longer a reliable conservative or even GOP role model.
.......................................................
Floridians voted AGAINST the GOP ROLE MODEL which has become the GOPe. Florida WILL vote TRUMP in 2016 as new registrations and switchovers from Dems and Independents will prove.
Momentum from Iowa favors Cruz
South Carolina favors Cruz
Southern evangelicals favor Cruz
SEC primaries favor Cruz
Debates favor Cruz
If we can just have closed primaries, then THAT will favor Cruz
Rubio will definitely take down Trump, and then Cruz will romp!
Are there any other bits of myth and woo that I forgot?
No doubt Cruz wins Utah, but Trump wins Ariz big.
Would you vote for Hillary over Trump?
Wonder who McCain is voting for?
It will be split, Cruz takes UT and Trump AZ.
“As a Loyal Arizona resident I would not vote for Trump to be the city street sweeper.”
I guess you’re only trying to protect your job, right?
But Cruz would creamed in the general if I am not mistaken.
///But the field is down to three, which favors Ted Cruz///
Why and How?
The Cruz folks think that since Trump wins primaries with less than 50% and there are no more candidates to split the remainder, then Cruz wins. I could see this logic a month ago but not anymore for 2 big reasons.
It’s too late for Cruz. There aren’t enough states left for him to get to 1237.
Also the nature of the remaining states are different. They are in the North where Cruz does not do well.
Checkmate is about 3 moves away. Most Grandmasters would concede at this point but Cruz apparently wants to drag this out to the bitter end.
Utah GOP leadership is as nanny state establishment as it gets.
“I have no Job, I’m a 67 year old Retiree and Grand-Pa, that’s job enough.”
Well, I’m 6 months past 75 and I still manage my own commercial real estate (including doing all the maintenance).
He doesn’t even have a national plan to win. I think he just assumed that he would get everyone Romney did + evangelicals that didnt vote for Romney because he was a Mormon.
Considering the past few days, and Ted’s embracing of Beck, the irony of that should not be lost on anyone.
Trump will win AZ. If Cruz does not win Utah, then he’s done, with no path to winning.
