Based on poll internals,Trump’s appeal is broad based but less than conservative. Weighting the appeal for the candidates such that were all responders for a candidate to identify as very conservative, the conservative appeal(CA)would be 100%; all moderate/liberal, the CA would be 0%; and even between very conservative, somewhat conservative, and moderate/liberal, the CA would be 50% - - - Trump’s CA is less than 50%.
Cruz (CA 85%)
Walker (CA 82%)
Paul (CA 67%)
Huckabee (CA 64%)
Fiorina (CA 61%)
Carson (CA 50%)
Trump (CA 46%)
Christie (CA 41%)
Rubio (CA 40%)
Kasich (CA 37%)
Santorum (CA 30%)
Bush (CA 28%)
Id rather say - Go Cruz.
Here’s what my game plan would be:
Cruz: reclaim the Christian Conservative, Moral Majority portion of the old Reagan coalition. Huge numbers.
Trump: reclaim the blue collar democrat, middle class conservative, defense conservative, and fiscal conservative portion of the old Reagan coalition. Huge numbers.
Result: Trump/Cruz 2016 landslide victory.
