I've seen the same thing. They are likely not the militant hardcore leftist MSNBC watching activist liberals - in fact many of them dislike Hillary and support Sanders. <<-- they normally tend to vote democrat in the end no matter who the nominee is.
The ones I see leaning Trump are probably CNN liberals that work for a living.
Yeah, they got caught up in the historical significance of the ‘08 election and briefly considered Romney in ‘12 before doubling down on Obama.
My comment is that if JEB or Rubio where polling at Trump numbers and with his lead,the race would be declared over and everyone else would be forced out by the Establishment.
“...It’s the math! Trump and Cruz combined are close to, and sometimes over, the 50% threshold. I understand many states are proportional rather than winner-take-all, but the math still works.
Anyone here want to bet me there will be a brokered convention? “No” is my choice....”

Nah...that would be a sucker’s bet. If Trump and Cruz keep up what they’re doing, their RINO opponents will have just a tiny proportion of the delegates earned by April and it will be effectively over with either Trump or Cruz going on to get the nomination. I’m a Cruz guy but it will most likely be Trump carrying the victory.
In any case, the GOP establishment will be sidelined if, between them, Trump & Cruz get most of the delegates.

LOL ... I think you’re right. And all the media talking heads would be saying it’s time for everyone else to drop out so the leader can save resources for the general election.
