A poll from April is not definitive of how someone will vote in November. There are also discrepancies in polling that suggest some pollsters deliberately want to control or manipulate the outcome of the results.
The crowds that have mobilized and waited for several hours to hear Trump is a very strong sign of popularity and support. His appeal is trans-regional.
See post #25.
If Ted was not from Texas, he would have less than 1/2 million winning votes.
His lack of popularity among voters should not be overridden by a handful of delegates.
If states were willing to uphold the will of the people (like California), Cruz would have withdrawn from the race last month.
In a race where the winning candidate gets to select his delegates, Cruz loses.
His only chance of survivability is undermining the will of the people.
Instead of “We the People” we now witness “We the Delegates.”
Nope. And neither is the fact that Trump's supporters are louder and more enthusiastic than other candidates' supporters.
I am old enough to remember back in 1968, when crowds of McGovern supporters were incredibly loud and enthusiastic. And no, I am not comparing Trump to McGovern. I am just pointing out that loud and enthusiastic means very little unless there are enough of you to make a majority of voters.
