Newt Gingrich has been a friend of Donald Trumps for the past decade. He hasnt endorsed Mr. Trumps presidential bid, but they talk frequently. Mr. Trump is anti-left wing and anti-political correctness, Mr. Gingrich says, while acknowledging this: Mr. Trump is not a conservative....

Hillary is running against ONE person....the Republicans are each running against THREE persons. Does that not make those polls questionable?
This is incorrect. It's a quote from freeper unlearner, not libbylu.
Actually, Sanders polls better then Hillary vs. the republicants.
When he got stomped in Florida, he should have left the race. When the Democrats in Wisconsin had to hand him the "victory" last week, Cruz should have left the race.
We needed to close ranks around the leader WEEKS ago.
This is only helping the Democrats. But apparently Cruz doesn't care about that - or the fact that he's giving the Democrats an opening to appoint a bunch of Supreme Counrt justices, if they come back from their own imploding primary season, and win in November.
Yikes... that ruined my day
Their Dreams of Grandeur will be over soon.
He won't leave.
The next two weeks will feature a set of primaries in several states, including some like New York and Pennsylvania which are rather sizeable. Unless something absolutely paradigm-shifting takes place during that time, Donald Trump is going to crush Ted Cruz in each and every one of these primaries. At that point, it will become completely mathematically impossible for Cruz to possibly get to the 1,237 delegates needed for an outright first round victory.
Cruz knows this.
That's why he and his worshipers supporters are hanging onto the vain hope that all these delegates Ted is trying to suborn to support him in the second round will actually do so, instead of jumping ship to some Party-approved "compromise candidate" like Jeb or Paul Ryan or Rubio who the GOP-E has *really* wanted all along.
Trump knows its 1,237 or bust. Cruz should know the same thing, but trusts in the power of his lawyerin' too much to see the reality he faces.
I do not find it humorous in the least that the website owner has had two pronouncements that diverge radically from the other:
His pronouncement on freepathon threads that both Trump and Cruz are acceptable.
His pronouncement on discussion threads where he tells Cruz to leave the race, or somesuch.
Rather Trumpian, if you ask me.
Failure comes not from falling but from not getting up.
The early states the vote was divided sixteen ways from Sunday. Trump has his tRump rangers but he has not yet won.
Actual polling:
Trump v Clinton (Clinton + 10.4)

If you cared about correcting your misconceptions, you could research the Republican Platform versions going back to about Abe Lincoln.
Free trade between the states; fair trade with foreign nations -- that is the historical Republican Party Platform position on trade.
Ah, jeez, not this "Trump loses to Hillary" garbage again.
Denial is not a river in Egypt but, you go with it.
If it was true that Trump is the loser in the general, the Wisconsin Democrat vote factories would have given the state to Trump.
But they didn't, did they?

The Wisconsin Democrap vote factories needed to get behind Bernie. Actually, Bernie is the bigger threat in November.
I don’t think your response was directed at me, but then again it’s late in the day. ;)
It’s not a national contest.
How does Cruz win OH, FL, VA and NV, all four states he must win to beat Hillary? All four are 50-50 purple states that McCain and Romney lost. How does Cruz win them after coming in a distant third in all four of those primaries and getting the nomination on the 2nd, 3rd, or whatever ballot at a contested convention?
How many Trump voters in any one of those four states need to stay home in disgust in November to give the election to Hillary? Answer: very few.
I responded to the other poster with the same post, but for a different reason.
Cruz is toast. Wisconsin showed that.
He needs to leave the race, and close ranks behind Trump.
The website owner recognizes that also.
No doubt about CFR, but keeping the enemy at bay does mean having infiltrators...

The Wisconsin outcome was a foregone conclusion.
The Wisconsin Democrat party let Hillary & Bernie duke it out across the rest of the state, but they used the Milwaukee counties to do a "Weekend At Teddie's".
Walker and Cruz both know that - but neither of them care enough about the party's chances in November to admit it.
It's all about Ted getting into the contested convention, and all about Walker being a good GOPe soldier [plus revenge on Trump, for Scottie].
