Okay, so Cruz has the highest favorable rating among Republicans, but how many peopl who normally don’t vote are registering so they can vote for Trump?
Yes and they may well do so. But lets not forget that at this point in the 12 cycle, no one was gonna vote for the Aborted Baby Chef. And then suddenly, they did.
You really don't get the Christian Right, do you? If they like him, they'll double their ranks of voters. Their ability to network outside of the MSM, and put volunteers on the ground *anywhere* makes them incredibly formidable- y'all haven't seen a full on Conservative uprising in a long time. TEA Party loves him... the Christians love him... all it takes now are the military, and I really can't see them voting for anyone else.
See, the thing 'up-the-middle' folks don't get is that we don't need to go up the middle. There are way more votes in the disaffected Right. There really is no counter-balance to the Christians if they come out hard.
And for the first time, in a long time, it looks like they will come out for a candidate that the rest of the Conservatives will come out for too. If the three legs of Conservatism come together on Cruz, there will be nothing you can do to stop it.
Not many, from that I read.
