Free Beacon Poll: Cruz Expands Lead Over Trump in Wisconsin (Cruz 36, Trump 31, Kasich 21)
Washington Free Beacon/Basswood Reasearch ^ | 3/25/2016 | Lachlan Markay

Posted on 03/25/2016 8:42:32 AM PDT by NYRepublican72

Ted Cruz holds a modest lead over Donald Trump in Wisconsin two weeks before that state’s winner-take-all Republican primary, according to a new Washington Free Beacon poll.

The Basswood Research survey of 500 likely Republican primary voters, conducted on March 19 and 20, shows the Texas senator leading Trump by 4.8 points, 36.2 to 31.4. Ohio Gov. John Kasich trails with 20.8.

Cruz’s lead expands dramatically in a head-to-head contest with Trump. If Kasich were to drop out before the primary, 47.8 percent of respondents say they would back Cruz, compared to just 36.2 percent for Trump.

Wisconsin is expected to be a crucial contest in the race for the Republican nomination, as Trump looks to expand his lead, Cruz clings to diminishing prospects to unseat him as the frontrunner, and Kasich seeks to consolidate enough support to keep his bid relevant ahead of a potential contested Republican convention.

4 points. 1 she did not deny it. 2 he has not denied it. 3 considering the liability issue here its not logical to assume they do not have more to put out when it hits the fan. 4. Its a very smart move for Trump as you can search for posts of claiming Trump is connected to National enquirer implying hes behind this. The way it was done by Katrina allows Trump and her to stay above the storm but still nail him later if needed.

WI conservatives are accustomed to treacherous gutter politics from the left and will sympathize with Cruz over this smear attack.

There we go. Amanda Carpenter also claimed it was false on CNN. Two of the five claim the report was “false.”

What are the Trumplinskyites going to fall back on when this story dies out? Oh, yes... Heidi's past bout with depression.. that'll serve 'em up some good fodder..

Why in the hell should Cruz glorify a trash story from the Enquirer by even addressing that smear?

If Pierson's words, "Of course the Enquirer story is 100% false" isn't a thorough debunking, nothing will satisfy you.

And keep in mind.. this:

I don't think Trump was going to go after the depression as much as her work on trade while she was working for the Bush administration, for starters.

The assumption was otherwise.

Yes please note thats not a denial, what is false there? The alleged number of women, the alleged details of the affair, etc?

She does not say 100% false does she? LOL

A Denial is “I did not have sex with that man.” Remember?

Psst...

Cruz has showed is true character as a lying false preacher, but that’s okay with Cruz supporters. He tried to mock God, but Hod is NOT mocked.

Read the Bible...you and Cruz...about lying, adultery, and stealing.

Have a nice day asking God to forgive you... ScottinDENIAL

Romans 3:23 – “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God”....that means Cruz too.

Pssst... Katrina never denied anything in that post, did she? When confronted, Amanda Carpenter (one of the 5 mistresses) said, “Talk to my lawyer” regarding the National Inquirer article? Why? Why hasn’t Cruz come out against these claims???

When you run as a “pure” Christian and constitutional conservative, and then these allegations come up??? Cruz is NOT a “pure” anything. The ONLY Pure Person is JESUS CHRIST! To worship Cruz in such a way is disgusting. If Cruz doesn’t come out against this story, then there is truth to it. It’s Lying Cruz’s fault for putting himself and his family in this tragic situation. He was so arrogant that he probably thought this would stay hidden. Not so for someone trying to become President of the United States!

ALL of Trump’s personal life has been on display and he has been constantly trashed by Cruz supporters.

If this story is true, did Cruz ask God to forgive him the first time he committed adultery…the second time…the third time…the fourth time…maybe the fifth time? Sad.

Three of the five women have already been identified: Katrina Pierson, Sarah Isgur Flores, and Amanda Carpenter. Katrina must have a lot of dirt on Cruz.

The MSM was saving this information in case Cruz got the nomination. If this story is true, the Lyin’ – hypocritical – phony – wolf in sheep’s clothing - Ted Cruz Calgary values are on full display:

And...

Cruz has denied these BS rumors you’re propagating. Feel free to GOOGLE the subject.

Asking God to forgive you as well. And when the scales of your penchant for gossip lift from your eyes... you’ll come to appreciate that.

God help you.

Don’t forget the delegates Cruz will get out of the complicated Colorado and back half of the even more complicated Wyoming caucus.

No reporting on this subject, not necessarily nefarious, it’s just that both systems are so convoluted, it’s really hard to sort these processes out. The “delegates to select delegates” are Cruz-rich in both states. Trump may get a few of the 53 available in this pot, pot, but Cruz will dominate.

Colorado will be resolved in 8 Assemblies April 8-9. Wyoming a week later.

Wyoming was reported on. It’s just such an arcane system that really takes away the will of the voters.

I believe there’s no requirement for the delegates in WY or CO to be bound on the first ballot to the candidate of their choosing, which is why both states had no preference poll in their level 1 events. So they’ll be counted more as soft delegates than anything else.

Cruz won 9 of the 12 delegates in WY so far with more in play later in the week. Colorado, should also favor Cruz, as the Mountain West seems to be his stronghold.

For completeness’ sake and full disclosure, WFB is a FOR PROFIT, PRIVATE online blog whose editor-in-chief is Matthew Continetti, the SON-IN-LAW of BILL KRISTOL. The polling firm that did the poll is a virtual captive company controlled by Club for Growth.

It's really amazing how big of a point this is, and how remarked on it's gone in this thread.

This is essentially another 'Bill Kristol says internal polls show Trump has collapsed in South Carolina' nonsensical story.
