Two new FOX News polls show GOP front-runner with huge leads in Indiana and California.
Donald Trump is up 8 points in Indiana.
Donald Trump laps the field in California.
Trump has more support than Kasich and Cruz combined in California.
The latest polling numbers shows that Trump will easily hit the 1,237 delegate threshold.
For the record — We predicted this for a month now.
We also predicted weeks ago that Ted Cruz will be mathematically eliminated on Tuesday, April 26.
Ping.
Right on!
It’s a conundrum, really. What’s a candidate to do? Go out meet the voters, convince them to vote for you day after day, rally after rally, or bat cleanup during individual states’ delegate elections to wrangle 2nd or 3rd place ballots where voters aren’t really involved beyond the first ballot, if that?
Clearly, one viable candidate is doing the former, and the second one is concentrating on the latter.
His numbers in Indiana arent great. Is it a ‘no-vote’ state like some of the others?
It will seem like we're going back in time when men really wanted to run the country and not kill it.
The uninformed voter seems to be a thing of the past. One can’t help but suspect that the Cruz delegate shenanigans at the Maine convention will turn even more folks away from Cruz.
"A delegate ... shall on the first ballot at the national convention support the candidate who received the highest number of votes ... if the person is ... a candidate at the convention. If the presidential candidate ... is not on the ballot ... the ... delegates are no longer bound." [Rules of the Indiana Republican State Committee. Rule 10-2, 10-6, IC 3-8-3-11].
Delegates are not selected by the primary, so it is possible for party insiders to choose delegates who are "Trojan horse delegates," meaning they are loyal to a candidate other than the one they are bound to on the first ballot.
Yes, the polling news is great for “The Donald”....he beats Ted Cruz & John Kasich with ease, and will absolutely get to the needed 1237 delegates & more, he needs to become the GOP POTUS candidate. The real news out there folks, is two fold: Ted Cruz is sinking in the polls like the “Titanic”, and the rumors are flying that Trump will chose either John Kasich or Marco Rubio to be his VP candidate, both, positive moves.
I think after the politcal massacre of Ted Cruz, this coming Tuesday, things will swing DJT’s way very fast. Cruz is toast. burnt toast, and, any vote cast for him is a thrown away, wasted vote. Cruz commited political suicide with his hate-filled, remarks, relative “New York Values” . It not only cost him any chance of doing well in New York, but, the “New York Values” go up and the entire East Coast from New Hampshire to Florida. Methinks, Cruz is not wrapped too tight. We certainly know that his father and major, nutcase, supporter, lunatic, Glenn Beck are far from the sharpest knives in the drawer.
Support & Vote for DONALD J. TRUMP for POTUS!!!
If Trump sweeps on Tuesday, you’ll see a big increase in support. A lot of people want to “go with the winner.” Once it’s clear that Trump will win the nomination, a lot of opponants (GOPe) will jump on the bandwagon. Many of the “GOPe Leadership” will try to run to the head of the parade.
Pray that Trump's enormous resources prove sufficiently bountiful for us to prevail and to defeat the enemies of America and all that is decent and good.
America can be ascendant again--and lead the way for the rest of the world--but we must rise above the horrors of decadence, and America's enemies are fierce and armed with the support of millions of fools.
Cruz was already mathematically eliminated April 19th.
He needs 689 delegates to win the nomination but there are only 674 left.
That disparity will grow after April 26th.
Yes, and as soon as he manages it, the democans and republicrats of the Washington Insiders will start in doing their level best to deny him the nomination.
I expect Trump to take every single Atlantic Central state Tuesday.
He’ll win all 5 states outright. Its not even going to be close.
And yes, people are not going to waste their votes on someone who can’t win. Cruz will come in dead last.
He just refuses to face the reality that its over.
Delegates have already been selected and will vote the will of the people
Delegates have already been selected and will vote the will of the people
If he has the delegates - the establishment can dump him and vote for Hillary.
Let them - after all, they can do business with her but Trump threatens to derail the Washington gravy train.
They have no interest in real change.
Went to our precinct to vote for delegates yesterday, and an older lady said she had been placed as temporary chairman and that we needed to vote for someone permanent.
Thinking she would do a good job, I nominated her, to which she replied, no, no, I’m from the old school, this is a mans job........so....
Good news worth repeating!
