idn’t know there were so many Cruz supporters I never see them :)

As far as the early part of this thread goes, the person who posted it probably also pinged his Cruz list to it, and they answered first. Eventually the Trump people pinged their lists.

Like many polls, this one proves nothing unless the data is very carefully assessed. The opinion of a freeper in a state without a critical primary, or a primary that is late in the process, should not be weighted the same as the opinion of a freeper in Iowa or New Hampshire, whose primaries are early bellwethers. A person in a solidly blue state with a closed primary (only those registered to either the Dem or Rep party can vote in their respective primaries -- Independents cannot vote in the primary) has a different situation than a person in a blue state with an open primary (anyone can vote for either party for the nomination). Then there is the impact of the Electoral College apportionments that must be analyzed.

In sum, we're not accomplishing much here in terms of a truely predictive model. But we are giving one another issues to debate and discuss among ourselves; so that's good.

Cruz can’t get the crossovers, nor the black votes and anyone who claims that he can win without them, doesn’t understand politics at all.

That isn't what the polls are showing...... Trump is loosing to Clinton...

Rasmussen says a dead heat. Clinton vs. Trump: Still A Dead Heat

I think a lot of the Independents will break for Trump, or Cruz for that matter. Still think, because of potential dem crossovers and the independents, that Trump has the best chance.

Victory!

DRUDGE has an entirely different story up out of the Clinton camp. The Clinton team is concerned about one man, beating TRUMP, in the first place and how to combat his style of attack.

What if the moon is REALLY made of green cheese?

What if the moon landing was "staged" on a Hollywood set?

What if the Sandy Hook shooting was really a video? WHICH WOULD REALLY BE A NEAT TRICK, SINCE MOST OF THE PARENTS OF THOSE KILLED STILL LIVE IN NEWTWON AND YOU CAN SEE AND TALK WITH THEM ANY DAY OF THE WEEK !

Please stop with the tinfolil hat crap !

I have been advocating for a businessman for 20 years.


You might enjoy this wonderful Mike Adams column,

Hell Freezes Over

...in which he describes how the installation of a businessman to run a major university changed the out-of-control PC culture for the better from the new president's first day on the job.

He isn’t, but perhaps as time goes by, you will see that.
Still and all, your opinion is your opinion and YOU claimed that Cruz is “funny”, so that must be important to you. :-)

No, really? Why thank you.

I guess posting graphics here is an offense to Ted Cruz too.

Who knew?

No, I don't have any recommendations for veep.

That's Mr. Trump's prerogative and he won't let us down.

At the beginning of the campaign I was thinking (and I so posted) that I wouldn't be surprised if he picked a popular military figure with leadership in battle plus administrative experience.

Then I figured such brass in the upper echelons are retired or on in years and may be a little long in the tooth for a position which may and should, if possible, lead to a future GOP presidency.

I have three-quarters of a hunch that Mr. Trump already has his pick in mind...and it won't be any of the 16 dwarfs, I guarantee you.

My gut feeling.....I'm thinking "jobs creation" may be a factor in the Donald's choice of VP.

At any rate, I think we'll be happy with his choice, nay...motivated, excited and exuberant!
