These are people interested in hearing what Cruz has to say.....unlike Trump rallies where people attend to see a celebrity... and there were plenty who attend/ed who have no intention of voting Trump. Why do you think he started to require that they say they were supporters on entry. His campaign knew his celebrity was getting in the way of an honest count...which was fine for the media exposure...but not in any way an indication of who the voters would actually be.

Cruz's campaign has been all along and planned as a Grassroots campaign.....he knew that would require one on one with the voters, explaining and talking the issues they needed and wanted to hear....in smaller groups with an occasional larger (Rally) when thought good to arrange. He's where he is as second because of his ground game....and second is a very good spot and allows a lot more manuverability.....where he's been also working the delegates from the get go. Two very different campaigns.....one is based on careful planning, a large team and organization par excellence. and because of this, and as the game moves to convention Cruz can out-hustle Trump's team to flip delegates and win the nomination on the floor...and flipping delegates is a large part of the game.

OK. WOW. Grassroots and Cruz? Yikes. No, that is not a thing that comes to mind at all.

” to require that they say they were supporters on entry” for Trump rallys? Yes, they had to start doing that because of the PROTESTERS. It is a legal thing. It has been public knowledge for quite a while now. Look it up. But if you refuse to do so, get back to me and I will explain it to you.

Trump does not spam his supporters with donation requests. Check into it.

You can think of the small Cruz turnouts as “one on one” rallys, but I imagine that Cruz would give his back teeth for crowds like Trump gets EVERY time.

It is what it is. I am not trying to insult anyone. Nor am I trying to advance Trump. He does not need that from me. His base is massive and growing. It is surprising in one sense, but in another it is quite understandable.

This campaign season has been fascinating.
