Delegates love Cruz. Voters love trump.
“Delegates love Cruz.” Actually, Trump has 46% of the delegates, to date.
“Voters love trump.” Actually, Trump has won 37% of the vote, to date.
Trump has done very well with his delegate count relative to his vote count, and most of the voters have not chosen him. He is not growing in popularity, in reality, and he is not that strong a frontrunner.
