But mine had Cruz on top for me with 77%. Many people here call Cruz a lot of things - but I can't see how Rino is one of them. he is the furthest from Rino of any of the candiddates. He has fought against his own party Rinos almost as much as he has fought against democrats

Maybe i should restate "rigged for RINOs" to say "rigged against Trump." That may be more accurate.

I have my own opinion as to why Cruz's name would be allowed to rise to someone's top choice, but I'm not here to argue with Cruz people so I'll keep that to myself. Opinions are what you pay for them, anyway.

And maybe you could help me keep the overly-emotional Cruz/Trump people rounded up in their own little corner, huh? I'm thinking if we could throw them all in a box to duke it out amongst themselves, we could end up with some really rich worm compost for my garden.

Okay, okay.... We can open the box after a few minutes, save the true FReepers who are being manipulated, then close it back up and let the GOPe & Dem trolls get back to work on my compost. See? I have a heart...

I've been for Cruz first all along. But he's missing the boat. Trump has outflanked him, has him confused, has him rattled and now Cruz is falling into the same trap as Bush, Carson, Fiorina and all the others who attacked him and lost.

Personal attack mode against the populist favorite and national leader buys you no points whatsoever. Cruz should ignore Trump and stay on HIS OWN message! And make it bolder!

And stay the hell away from Beck, Lowry and the National RINO Review and the Gang of 22 GOP losers. The last thing Cruz needs is to team up with DC insiders!

Trump is running and winning with his anti-GOP, anti-insider, anti-establishment, anti-DC, anti-PC, anti-illegal-alien, anti-Muslim-invasion, and anti-business-as-usual platform.

He's pushing and winning with his bold secure the borders, secure the nation, deport them all, ban the Muslims, send them back, restore our religious freedom, defend our guns, defend our local education, cut the taxes, cut the regulations, cut the EPA, cut the bad deals, cut the crap, grow the economy, bring back capital and jobs, bring back manufacturing, rebuild our powerful military and make America great again message.

It's what the PEOPLE want and are hungry for. They want strong, successful, positive, bold and unabashedly pro-America, pro-capitalism leadership! A winner!

It's about the people, stupid!

This is obvious push polling. My results simply make no sense at all:: Ted Cruz 74% Marco Rubio 69% Jim Gilmore 69% Ben Carson 71% Jeb Bush 65% Donald Trump 66% John Kasich 68% Jim Webb 65% Hillary Clinton 51% Bernie Sanders 43%

I put Trump first, Cruz ehh, second- but went over the cliff and I am waiting to see if he survives the landing, and Bernie.

The pattern is patriots first hold my nose and run fast from all the others. Also Trump and Bernie have no love for the D.C. establishment. Cruz -????? Trump would actually do something. Bernied would just lock it up so nothing happens - not a bad outcome. Cruz???????

Got out of Austin and live in the Hill Country, thank God.

Ah, God's country! I'm happy for you!

Why you would want to manipulate a survey to get Trump on top is beyond me.

Okay.

‘He admitted he got the info from cnn’

That explanation held up until the voicemails from the Cruz camp to the caucuses were released. The voicemails say’Carson is suspending his campaign,’ and ‘Carson is taking a leave of absence, and will have a big announcement next week.’

CNN reported none of that. They are wholesale lies.

I voted for Bush twice. And I remember how infuriating his 2004 campaign was. Genius Rove and Compassionate George just lay down and took all the trash talk without responding. In fact, it was 8 solid years of maximum wimpitude.

I know, it was maddening. We had a rare chance to ask Genius Rove face-to-face about that during a CPAC event held in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building (next to the White House) back around 2005 or so.

My husband asked him why does the Bush administration not fight back vs. the liberal trash talk that gets out via the media every day?

Rove stood there for a few seconds, he looked like a deer in headlights... "What do you mean? We fight back. I don't know what you're talking about." He was incredulous.

Rove referred to some press conferences (always held during the day, when people were working). He fumbled through some other so-called "responses" from the Bush administration vs. the liberal media. It was gibberish, as I remember.

That was about that, next question. We all sat there fuming after his wimpy, inside-the-Beltway, out of touch response.

Ugh, no more Bushes!!

Probably, but the states are just as poisoned as the FedGov now. AZ and TX should have their own massive walls and strict enforcement going, but they don’t. Why?

Yeh, Ted Cruz alone is responsible for why we have the Iran deal. His ONE vote would have changed the entire outcome.

What world do you live in, where that’s even a rational thought, let alone argument?

When it comes to Beck’s very strange obsession with supporting Cruz, I’m having a hard time distinguishing him from Robert Tilton.............

what is the point of manipulating to get Trump on top

To find out how biased the survey is. If no matter how you answer Trump comes out 46-54% then the TILT lights need to come on.

A survey is not push polling. You answer honestly about your core principles and have a chance to weigh them as to their importance. If you are a conservative, Cruz will come out on top. If you are a conservative, that should be no surprise.

Trump is not conservative. Trump will be down near the commies. 54% on my survey for Trump, 30% for the Dimocrap/Socialist complex.

I don't know how the socialists even get to 30.

Lago Vista here... I was on the thread where Trump lied about being in NY on 9/11 (he was in Chicago) but it doesn’t seem to phase his supporters at all. Got me thinking, Trump relishes breaking ALL the Ten Commandments. I need to stop following DT before I can’t pull the Nov lever for him if he wins. Lying about 9/11? LOW.
