Interesting. Trump / Cruz have high 40's to 60's of the electorate in these polls. That is telling me that we are definitely in a throw the bum's out mood, however 40 something % still want a RINO, aka Kasich, Bush, Rubio with Carson at this point just skimming %5 off the top that would most likely go to Cruz. It is scary that we have that many mainstream "R's" willing to pull the lever again for the gestalt of the RNC /E-GOP, whole we here are so over them. Sadly, I didn't think it would happen, but we may in fact be headed for a brokered convention....

That poll was a South Carolina perspective. The national polling has Trump, Cruz, Rubio in the
70% range with less than 30% split amongst the others. Trump about 10% in the lead among those
three. Nationally it is close but statewides are showing different.

As the contest goes on and the RNC/GOPe keeps losing, the loser’s supporters will either get on board with Trump, or lose the motivation to go vote. Is “PLEASE, WE NEED A BROKERED CONVENTION!! YEAH!” a great rallying cry? Once there are 6-10 contests out of the way where no GOPe candidate can beat Trump and/or crack 15%, their numbers are going to start to plummet. Only hardcore establishment types will be foaming at the mouth for a brokered convention at that point; average voters are going to give up and go back to the business of carrying on with their lives.
