The other story here is that combined Trump and Cruz are getting the votes of half or more of those polled, which means that their messages (which are similar) are resonating, and that it will be a very tough climb for anyone else to come out of this with the nomination.

Trump would make a fine secretary of state, or press secretary.

This is true, but I must tell you, I like Cruz, but I wouldn’t spend ten minutes waiting to hear him speech or stand in line for him. Trump brings in the crowds.

Jeb Bush took 4 percent, while all other candidates earned 2 percent or less...

Bush is going to have to move up in the polls in the new year or he will be dead before the Iowa caucuses. How can he keep raising money with an approval rating of 4% ?

Agreed. It also means that even if one of these two doesn't come out on top (with 50% of the delegates)...that a brokered convention would be absolute bedlam since the combined support of these two will likely be near 60%. If the GOP-E decides to side with 20% of the primary voters...it's open rebellion (more so than it is right now)...and a Trump/Cruz indie ticket would have a shot...

It would seem they have blown the bridges behind them and the rest will not be able to overcome that obstacle.I wish they would really blow everybodys minds and announce a team between them to make America Great Again.
