You’re skewing those polls. Rush said today Trump and Cruz were even with conservatives and Cruz was far ahead with “very conservatives.” I heard the same thing after Iowa.
Cruz is simply not as well-known as Trump. He doesn’t have the celebrity name recognition. I just heard a Republican co-worker talking yesterday about the primary and he said he didn’t know anything about Ted Cruz. Obviously not someone who follows the news closely, but he will probably be voting in the primary. When you don’t know who Cruz is and the pollster calls you, Trump is the name you’re likely to pick out of the air. There are plenty of “low-info” Republican primary voters. These are the same ones Romney got to vote for him by bashing everyone else as unelectable and so forth. Trump has simply trumped the GOP’s usual advertising because of his huge celebrity name recognition. It’s not substance, it’s not quality, it’s celebrity.
list any Cruz achievement -
Did he created job?
Did he created balance sheet?
Don’t list his insane panhandling scheme.
Trump has spent billions on developing his “brand”; Cruz not so much.
No, I’m not. I’m not referring to NH. I was referring to the Overtime Politics and ARG and PPP polls which asked the question, and I have posted those here again and again. And again and again, the “conservative” groups are decidedly for Trump and the “very conservative” is pretty much a tie-—sometimes Cruz has a one or two point lead.
I agree Trump has celebrity, which is precisely why he can go over the heads of the media. And no, the voters are NOT low info. The people I was with and interacted with among the 14,500 in Columbus were anything BUT. The people I talk to in Dayton who founded the Tea Party here are VERY conservative and anything but “low-info” people. You are going to have to accept-—or not, and just keep being surprised-—that large, large numbers of people who are conservative, who have identified that way for years and vote that way, are now supporting Trump.
What you do with that information is your business. Now, if you need me to ping you on every one of these polls, I will.
