“Ted Cruz Set to Claim Illinois Delegate Prize”
” Although the latest polls show Trump with a lead in Illinois”
Classic Cruz fan edit.
Now read the article. And Breitbart is Trump county, as you know.
Translation: He will get some delegates, THUS MAKING HIM THE WINNER!1!!!
Just like when GW beat Gore but lost the “popular” vote.
The race is for delegates not “state wins”.
This ground game has never materialized. I guess having a bunch of government types go to vote is considered ground game like Wyoming. So far I have not seen this ground game he brags about.
Or reasoned analysis. Trump underperforms his polling leads almost every time, even when the vote is just 1-2 days after the poll.
Iowa was supposed to be a 4.7 point win for Trump just days before the vote... and he lost by 3.3 (8 pt drop in the Trump lead at the actual vote)

Feb 29 poll, Mar 8 vote
An average last-moment drop of 12.9 points in these 11 states. When it comes time to actually vote, Trump's leads crumble by double digits.
Caucus states and primaries, before and after candidates drop out, liberal and conservative states, all with one common theme... Trump isn't pulling as many actual large vote wins as poll votes and impressive rallies...
Polls may not be accurate (another common Trump supporter dismissal), but the trend is clear... Trump's leads underperform the polling, and by significant numbers.
Rush said today that even if Trump wins all the states tomorrow Cruz can roar back to win the nomination. Rush must be senile.
Will Cruz be standing with Black Lives Matter as he did before?
