Trump has worked for the votes of the little people. He has campaigned and given speeches all over the country. He has participated in more news, talk, town halls, call -in shows that any other candidate by far. What he has not done is take money from PACs funded by big monied interests, money from Wall Street, money from major individual donors who will control a Cruz if he should get in office and work with the establishment GOPe to overturn the will of those who vote.
On the other hand .cruz has only won four primaries where the people vote and three public caucuses. He and his minions know they do not have the support of the people so they have to steal the delegates behind the scenes. It is much easier to steal an item than to work and earn money public ally.
Well said...
TX, OK, KS, ID, WY, UT, OK, AK, IA, ME, WI... seems like a bit more than 7 to me. Care to check your numbers again? And I voted in a caucus, not being a party appartchik? Care to check your false premises again? Caucuses tend to have fewer hours of voting time, they aren't closed to the public. They are meant to encourage discussion among voters present (although it never really happens anymore these days). They do not exclude registered voters... but again, facts are not the strong point among Trump devotees, apparently.
Also note that this list of Cruz wins is decidedly Conservative (before those last 2 at the end), and all of Trump's biggest wins, including his 49.3% top result in MASS, are all in Liberal states.
Cruz has topped 60% three times... and all in Conservative states... and Trump has yet to top 49.3%, even in Liberal states, and the Primary is 2/3 over.
Trump has never been above 47% of the delegates, and has not topped 49.3% anywhere... and yet Trump supporters seem to pretend that he is a runaway favorite. He sin't. His ceiling is 49%, and the past 2 months have proven that conclusively. He also fails to pull in his polling numbers in 2/3 of the states, including some massive failures in KS and ID, where his leads dropped by 31 and 28 points respectively in the last few days before the actual vote.
