It does not matter how many votes Cruz stole.
There is no such thing as little bit pregnant.
Even an attempt to steal without succeeding reflects
on the character of the candidate.

If you hold up a store and get apprehended before
actually getting some cash, that is also a serious crime.
The arresting cop will not let you go simply because you
were unsuccessful in the robbery.

I don’t know. I look at all the polls, and when there is a breakdown, Trump and Cruz are tied or Cruz 1-2 points up among the “very conservative” voters-—usually this number is in the mid to high 20s. So that’s probably it.

But among “conservative” Trump leads by 5-7 and is easily in the 30s. The bottom line is if you combine the two, as some polls do, Trump is in the 30s easily and always beats Cruz in this group. See today’s CNN poll, for example.

When you start saying the voters are wrong, you’re on thin ice.

That’s what the DEMOCRATS usually say.

People voted.... Cruz didn’t steal votes....

Did some maybe be mislead by news that was originally released by Carson, maybe. But steal no.

This lame birther attack Trump has on Cruz is dishonest and is hurting Cruz more than the news release on Carson.
1st Trump says he had his lawyers check it out every which way, and Cruz was eligible and now is saying Cruz is not.
That there is dishonesty right before your eyes. Trump knows this is bogus and will go nowhere.

I am sure we will see that apology coming from Trump any minute

And while we are discussing Christianity... what does the bible say about lawsuits or Adultery? (think trump)

1 Corinthians 6:1-7,1 Corinthians 6:9-10

Except when you go to other polls, which have polled since October (say, CBS) Cruz has LOST ground.

But clever statistical selection.

I’m not saying the voters are wrong about who they are choosing, or even why. They think that. They expect that.

I’m saying I don’t believe their hopes will materialize.

Honestly, I don’t know that they will either. We are both betting on different horses thinking that our horse has the oats to get across the line.

You're so full of it. You're almost as bad as Cruz.

Trumpertantrum from yet another certifiable Trumpbot lunatic? No one is full of it like your typical Trumpbot.

RCP Averages had Gingrich ahead anywhere from 5-10 points ahead in the days preceding the election

Luckily, RCP still have all the records from 2012 on their site.

2012 Republican Presidential Nomination 4 Days Until South Carolina Primary

Gingrich

RCP Average 4 Days To Go 32.2 16.3 14.2 13.7 14.2 Romney +15.9

www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/2016_republican_presidential_nomination-3823.html

There in black and white: Romney was ahead of Gingrich by 15.9% with just 4 days to go in 2012 to the South Carolina primary.
What more ya got?

Spin however you want, your boy is going down hard. Very hard. You can play with the data anyway u want but I stand by my analysis of the race. Gingrich was losing until the debate. Then he went after King and that turned it. You are obviously a total loser (My hero Trump would say that) who’s been on this thread all day arguing over a lost cause. Cruz is going to lose. So I got nothing more for ya than that. Enjoy grasping at straws. It’s all you’ve got.

Trump has never pushed the meme of a sanctimonious christian. His agenda is illegals, jobs, foreign trade, build the wall, dump Obamacare etc. Cruz is the sanctimonious christian. Yet he lies and cheats.

Yup. We don’t know.

What serves as our proxy for the future is our opinion of character.

Says you and the Trump fanclub..... Have you noticed how Trump calls everyone a liar or some other kind of name when he loses, or has some of his liberal facts get exposed?

Liars typically call other people liars... projection works that way.

I hope after SC to never hear another Cruz supporter scream “the polls are lying” for the rest of the election.

Ummmm..its Trumpbots that keep saying that about any poll that goes against Trump.
Further, what I said was that the polls are all over the place. That is, there is a very wide variation between the polls for the same candidate from different polling outfits. You said, no. I proved that in my last post to you by citing figures from RCP.
