Wisconsin Feels the Bern While Cruz Gains Momentum in Upcoming Primaries.
Emerson College Polling ^ | 4/4/16

Posted on 04/04/2016 7:04:43 AM PDT by justlittleoleme

In the GOP race, Cruz is now five points ahead of Donald Trump (40% to 35%) with John Kasich at 21%. Two weeks ago, Cruz had a 1 point lead over Trump (36%-35%).

If Cruz is the primary winner, he will win 15 delegates, Cruz is also ahead in five of the eight congressional districts where three delegates will be awarded to the winner of each district. Trump is ahead in the third district 49%-24%, while the second and fourth districts appear to be toss-ups between all three of the candidates.

In contrast, both Sanders and Clinton hold very high favorable rating among likely Democrat voters with Sanders at 83% and Clinton at 70%. The poll suggests that the open Democrat primary will consists of 68% of registered Democrats and 28% Independents. Clinton leads Sanders 50%-45% among registered Democrats but trails Sanders 62% to 32% among Independents. Early voting also favors Sanders 52% to 38%.

Looks like Cruz has it all wrapped up. Why even vote - just call him the winner now.

The media never mentions New York or Pennsylvania or any of those other states that vote here in April.

It’s too inconvenient to their “Cruz surging!!!1” narrative.

We need an ignore button, which would allow users to not see users posts they choose to. I would code that for damn free for Jim R.

Man I'd love that. Cruz people are horrible. They gloat and taunt so much when they're losing, can't imagine if they were winning.

And they think it's perfectly ok for Cruz to keep stealing votes. There will be no wake-up call for them as I'd once hoped. They're in this with their eyes wide open and still forge ahead.

Go Ted!

WI Republicans know how to beat the crap out of Dems like Trump.

They are sick of Trump’s lying about them.

Cruz has no path...

He will take MO, SD and Nebraska....

He may pull out WI.. but where else? Maybe IN? And that’s about it... He can’t get 1237 and he can’t stop Trump from getting 1237.

He and his backers are fighting a lost cause.

Even If I play insane devils advocate, and somehow Trump is stopped from 1237, at the convention Cruz won’t wind up the nominee.... IF you get to a contested convention you are going to wind up with someone who was either not even on the ballot or washed out early hand picked by the GOPe.... and it won’t be Cruz, Trump or Kasich....

THere is no path to the nomination for Cruz.

As a Trump supporter I recognize he is going to likely lose WI but it will be close. However, either these polls are very wrong or the people of WI are beyond stupid. Cruz leads amongst males by 7? Cruz is an effeminate wuss that has consistently lost the male vote in almost every state. And Independents only break for Trump by 3? Then we hear that women despise Trump yet Cruz is only up with them by 3? The polls are consistent in showing a Cruz lead, so I can accept that, but the internals are so out of whack with everything we’ve seen everywhere else. So either the polls are wrong or WI is just a mess.

If Cruz does win it will show that the last week Trump has hurt himself. Not fatal and there is time to right the ship, that appears to have taken on a bit of water

And NY, PA, DE, RI, CT and MD will show they’re sick of lyin’ Ted later this month. As have only 70% of GOP primary voters thus far.

Should Cruz pull out WI win, he won’t stop Trump... Trump needs only 75 delegates between WI and NY to stay on his 55% target to get to 1237... and he will get that easily.

If Cruz pulls out WI, he won’t win every district nor every delegate.... and in NY he will get crushed 2 weeks later.

Trump is polling between 55 and 60% in NY... and guess what, Cruz can’t get any delegates there at the district or state level unless he is over 20% and Trump is under 50%.

If Trump doesn’t clean sweep NY, he will certainly get the overwhelming majority out of NY....

But the press will play it as WI changed the race.. and Cruz has turned a corner... and of course its garbage, but for 2 weeks it will be the storyline. Then NY will vote.

All the states that Romney won the GOP primary in landslides in 2012, then lost in landslides against Obama the same year.

Not counting on those voters for guidance.

Non eligible, not Natural Born Citizen, Cuban-Canadian, Pinocchio Ted attacking Big Donald at CNN freestyle match.

Cruz "character":

1. Phony summonses mailed out, scaring people to vote for Cruz.

2. Claiming Carson quit, presinc captains told voters "vote for Cruz"

3. Campaigning in the 800 churches, showing video "vote for me" with his preacher/father stomping for him. Rafael Cruz is a Seven Mountain Dominionist and believes his son is the anointed one.

4. "Brilliant" lawyer, did not know he was Canadian citizen and that he is not Natural Born Citizen, not eligible for office of P or VP.

5. Making phony video advertising with lies about opponents.

6. Uses Trump's wife in advertising "vote for Cruz" and then screams that Trump hates women, while he "loves them" - keeping few extra mistresses.

Just enough to beat Trump in IA, apologize, rinse and repeat?
Liar is the polite term for this Cuban-Canadian. His father was pro-communist in Cuba, imprisoned by Batista, but now he is refugee?

IRREFUTABLE AUTHORITY HAS SPOKEN

(Oct. 18, 2009) The Post & Email has in several articles mentioned that the Supreme Court of the United States has given the definition of what a "natural born citizen" is. Since being a natural born citizen is an objective qualification and requirement of office for the U.S. President (and VP), it is important for all U.S. Citizens to understand what this term means.

Ohio needs to be added to that list where the popular Cruz got an overwhelming 13%. The other 87% of Buckeye State voters told him to go pound sand.

From the poll internals...

Cruz enjoys a 7 point lead among males over Trump 43% to 36% and Kasich 16%. Cruz holds a 3 point lead among women 35% to 32%, with Kasich at 28%.


How can this be!? Cruz hold *less* of a lead among women? Haven’t we had dozens of article about how women hate Trump? Shouldn’t Cruz’s lead be higher with women?

The lead Cruz supposedly has among men in Wisconsin is just GOP establishment types. Not real men. Trump leads big with real men throughout the country.

Posting the percentage of primary voters who voted for another candidate isn’t the same as “I really can’t stand that guy, I would never vote for him.” But you twist things as you want. That is par for the course of Trump supporters here. When polls are good for Trump, your side brings them out. Just as quickly your side dismisses them when it shows he will get clobbered by Hillary or Bernie.

Nobody gave the socialist Bernie Sanders much thought a year ago. And I don’t even think Trump was on the radar. And here we are with Trump and Sanders capturing so much support. I think both candidates combined have a large majority of support of those 18-35. It’s really fascinating. But we also have a history of one candidate doing so badly they not only lose, but take out the house/senate candidates with them. Barry Goldwater for our side and Mondale for the dems come to mind.

Anyways, Trump has to win the nomination first. Cruz may prove popular enough in the final half to deny him the delegates.
