Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is holding five rallies across Illinois on Monday in the lead-up to its Super Tuesday vote tomorrow. Although the latest polls show Trump with a lead in Illinois, the Cruz rallies highlight the superior ground effort of his campaign. Donald Trump currently has around 36 percent support in Illinois. Cruz is around 25 percent and Ohio Gov. John Kasich is at 19 percent. While Trump may win the overall vote in Illinois, it is possible he ends up with fewer delegates than Cruz, or even Kasich.
In Illinois, the winner of the statewide vote receives 15 of the state's delegates. Another 54 delegates are awarded through votes in the state's 18 congressional districts.
In each district, voters vote for a candidate and then must vote for up to three individuals to serve as delegates, each of whom are affiliated with one of the candidates....

You use the tagline Teacher, but seem to be quite naive about what goes on - let’s talk about cheating in Iowa and point shaving in some of the other states. Do you think it doesn’t happen? Oh-yes, it does, and it happens in footbabll games as well. Wise up and educate yourself.
What kind of horse manure have you been fed?
Man, you need find a new source.
Didn’t Donnie propose that we make it easier to sue the press for defamation?
Does that have any regard for the 1st amendment rights you hold so dear?
Hmmm...?
If you can stand to hear that whiny Mr Haney voice for 5 minutes,you are probably seriously hearing impaired.

I think it sounds quite pleasant. Calm, reasoned, and intelligent.
Hearing aid would be good for you.
In 2012 Romney got 42 delegates and Santorum got 12. To see what that looked like go to ...

With this type of delegate selection just about anything could happen.

Nice rundown of the polling history this year. I am guessing that some of these differences are because of democrats claiming to be GOP in the poll, and just couldn't do the deed when they showed up to vote.
He is nasal - but that can be fixed much more easily than roid rage. In the meantime, I'll mute him and turn on the closed captioning.
Infatuation?
And what has put you into your Trumpbot trance, devoid of all reasoned, intelligent, conservative, independent thought?
Soon to be broken by Rubio. Also do you really think Trump is going to win NY by more than 17.1%?
Actually, well-reasoned, conservative, intelligent speech is very soothing to my ears.
On the other hand, when I start hearing phony platitudes that are designed to get more moderate/liberal voters and references to the last 40 years of making lots of deals with political friends in the liberal establishment, that is like hearing fingernails on the chalkboard to me.
Can’t you hear that?
Or has your conservative core been removed?
He disappointed me.
I no longer have a back-up candidate and it ticks me off.
Did I ever think I’d be attacked 15-20 times a day by vicious Trumpets who are worse than Paultards? Nope. But it motivates me to raise more money for Cruz, so thanks for that.
Can you even read?
15% is controlling interest? What company do you work for?
Yeah, his IQ is over 80.
Whatever lets you sleep at night.
These morons see a conspiracy theory between Cruz and GOPe behind every rock.
They’re not going to find it.
I am a fellow proud contributor.
