Trump leads poll with a disparate group campaigning. When head to head with Cruz or Rubio, he loses.
"An ABC News/Washington Post poll shows Donald Trump leading the race to become the Republican nominee for President of the United States. However, if the field were to consolidate, the billionaire businessman would no longer be favored in a head-to-head situation, according to the survey...]
[Cruz easily defeats Trump head-to-head 54-41 percent. non-Cruz or Trump supporters prefer Cruz to Trump 72-17 percent.
Among “very conservative voters,” Cruz takes down Trump 60-34 percent. Among white evangelicals, Cruz handles Trump 64-31 percent.
Rubio also defeats Trump, but by smaller margins, 51-45 percent. Non-Rubio or Trump voters favor Rubio 69-23 percent. He, like Cruz, is favored by approximately 60% of women in a head-to-head with Trump.

Cruz won election day votes in LA. It was only the early voting that saved Trump’s bacon in LA.
“Another reason this election is so important (aside from Hillary potentially installing 4 SCOTUS judges) is she will open the floodgates of illegal immigration.”
The end of America as a prosperous country.
Trump is currently going head to head with cruz and cruz is LOSING and will lose!
“...absolutely no charisma or charm... has zero X factor, and can easily be painted as the boogie man by the left.”
The thing that has stood out most to me (since I first noticed it), is that Ted doesn’t smile easily or naturally.
That’s a bad indicator.
Are you two related, or is this the Trump drivel of the day? How about something original?
I am just wondering if Cruz would do so well why isn’t he drawing bigger crowds? A concern I have is Cruz’s relatively poor showing in the South. In the general election the GOP cannot win without the South. Also, why hasn’t there been a decision regarding Cruz’s nbc status?
“Drivel” is suggesting Senator Green Eggs & Ham will win VA and it’s beltway suburbs going up against a Dem.
Agree
We know Cruz is on the border handing out teddy bears to illegals and his wife want a North American union as does Sachs etc.
We need those borders enforced and Trump is the only person there who I trust.
Fair enough, and they have been unreliable. I do put some stock into them, but it’s wise to take them all with a *grain of salt.
RIGHTO!
Bring It On!
RIGHTO!
Bring It On!
care to point out any wrongs in that or do you just want to insult?
swing states
VA Cruz came third and never won a single county
FL Cruz is third
OH Cruz is third
CO don’t know but I cannot see the demographics going for Cruz.
Cruz is screwed. No wonder he keeps parroting for Rubio to get out and vote for him instead of others.
Cruz was convinced folks in the South would buy into the idea he was a Christian and Trump wasn’t.
Didn’t work.
Your concerns about the South are reasoned, but against Hillary I think he would prevail.
I don’t see him doing much better than Romney in the big electoral states.
Romney spotted the Democrats 180/270 electoral votes in big states.
Cruz might no do that poorly in them, but I still see a big challenge there.
Trump would take most of them.
As for the Cruznadian paradox, I tease about it, but I don’t have a strong belief either way.
I do believe it is a legitimate question.
“Cruz has no crossover appeal. You can’t win without democrats these days..and Cruz won’t get them”
But Trump will?
With everything Trump says in an attempt to get the conservative vote, he’ll never appeal to the mushy middle.
At least Cruz is consistent and principled. Even people who don’t agree on all positions have to admire a man who says what he actually believes. Trump keeps twisting in the wind, “changing” and “softening” in a pathetic attempt to appeal to possible customers.
AlreadyBeenChewed/WashCompost poll. Givemeabreak.
Well, you are looking at the numbers in a multi-way race, while the polls being discussed are head-to-head polls. Of course they won’t paint the same picture.
We shall see won’t we. Amazing how the Cruzers seem to need to reassure themselves with the hypothetical polls which really do not mean anything. Trump has been calling for Rubio to drop out more than Cruz has...that I think is more telling.
No I agree, but the interest is for Trump for non party and Reagan Dems.
