He seems more independent-minded than total puppets of the elite are.

Yeah, except when he was in congress and voted for Bill Clinton's semi-auto ban...after he convinced the NRA and everyone that he was pro gun. Make no mistake KASICH is a back stabbin little pimp!

And, you do not get to be a governor or US Senator of Ohio unless you have some heavy NWO connections.

The Ohio Republican senators and governors get the highest % of out of state campaign donations over any other national level politicians. Ex Ohio Governor then turned/now ex US Senator John Vonovich even took in more outside donations than John Mccain, who was no2.

Well, the Bush’s are now involved in the Cruz campaign. This is not complex.
++++
You are reading way too much into the supposed Bush Connection. But in any case, the last time I looked the goal when running for President was to WIN. Presumably Cruz believe Bush can help him do that.

I assume there will be no requirement that Cruz sells his soul for the privilege of hiring a single Bush. I suspect you see a Fire Sale on Souls coming from the Cruz Camp. I'm patient. I'm pulling for Cruz but still expect Trump to win the nomination.

You never know. Cruz was in Coeur d’Alene this past weekend, which indicates he thinks the state is winnable.

And as we know, the national polls showing a tight race don’t mean anything and its fought state by state.

No but when you factor in Romney and GOP, the soul was auctioned off a while ago.

Greta let slip that Kasich is “doing well” in Michigan. Whether that means first or second I don’t know. There were media reports all day of Dems and anti Trump Reps voting for Kasich there to stop Trump. Whether that was media trying to create the narrative or report it I don’t know.

FNC said late deciders in MI went 35 Kasich, 31 Cruz, 23 Trump. That really isn’t that bad for Trump if he went in with a big lead as polls indicated.

We’ll see.

In his losses on Super Saturday, Trump ended up finishing a strong second in KS and ME and the only place he ended up dead last was PR.

It will be a good night for him if he finishes second in any state he loses.

What about the Asian vs Hispanic vote on Trump. As well as the types of Asians who would bother to vote in a GOP primary.

I’m worried that Cruz takes MS in a squeaker but the rest I agree with - Trump in MI, ID to Cruz and HI to Rubio.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Kasich comes in second place in MI. Its next door to home state and plays to his strength.

I expect Cruz to finish third cause MI’s demographics aren’t exactly matched to him.

Whatever Trump wins it will be a miracle. I’ve never seen BOTH sides endlessly tear apart a candidate like they have Trump. It is literally 24/7 from conservative talk radio to left wing MSNBC to everything in pop culture.

I always felt Canadians were well regarded in Michigan.

Trump will win.

It may be tight but he will win.

Even the polls that show him ahead in a tight race still show him as the front runner.

From his perspective, all he really needs to win is MI and MS. His rivals can split up the leftovers.

How is it tight? The last poll I saw had Trump 18 pts ahead with only 4% undecided. Are these the crossover anti-Trump votes?
