I don’t think he’ll get ALL of them.

Never said that.

People have a choice between Ted and Trump and Rubio and Kasich and (until recently) Carson and Christie and Bush.

Trump doesn’t seem to be getting his fair share of those candidates’ supporters. At least to me.

You might see it differently.

But if you like polls that say Trump is going to do well going forward, why would you blow off polls that say something you don’t like?

Unless it’s just an emotional, “already made my mind up” kinda deal.

I think you folks have overestimated the Caucus wins to mean something they didn’t.

Ted wasn’t gaining support. He was winning elections in GOPe closed shops.

In Caucuses people are very tight with the party.

In primaries people are not as closely tied to the party. They are much more likely to follow their own logic.

What else can you say when a state polls very lopsidedly, then votes for the other guy?

Something is up with that. And it causes me even more concern to hear exit polls go for Trump by 8%, yet he lost the Caucus.

Caucuses are not nearly as frequent now, and winner take all starts one week from today.

I believe that is when reality sets in.

Cruz is not garnering more support.
