Trump rarely gets his polling numbers:

I don't know if this is a “common Trump supporter dismissal” but as you and I both know... the obvious reason for these drops is that nearly all of these contests have been targeted by tens of millions of dollars of last minute negative ads, misinformation and dirty tricks. (The Rubio campaign is now accusing the Cruz campaign of pulling another “Carson” in Hawaii. LOL) Then the perpetrators of these low blows which didn't quite work scream loudly afterward that Trump underperformed. It is absolutely hilarious.

On the other side... when Cruz wins by 600 votes in Alaska it was “decisive victory”. When Trump won by 191,000 on the same night in Alabama, 43.4% to Cruz's 21.1% you and others here were still chiming in with this “Trump underperforms” meme. I didn't want to falsely accuse of this so I went back to your posts last week and sure enough you were singing the same tune as this morning. At this rate Trump is going to “underperform” his way into the Whitehouse and Ted is going to over perform his way back to the Senate. Sorry to tell you but... a victory is a victory especially in the winner takes all states coming up.

Lots of us here are conservatives and we’re voting Trump.

“All the polls still agree—with Trump you get Hillary.”

The same is true for Cruz. The Republicans who do best in polls for the general are liberal establishment candidates, which is the argument that the RNC uses in election after election to nominate their candidates of choice. I'm not buying it any more.

Furthermore, a recent poll says that over 30% of Bernie Sanders voters won't support Hillary in the general election if she's the nominee. It's hard to see Hillary winning in the general election against anyone if that's true. Hillary is probably the weakest Democratic (likely) nominee in a long time, even if she doesn't get indicted, there's nothing about her candidacy to inspire people to get the vote out, except among a small circle of aging feminist shrews.

This is about breaking up the GOP, not defeating Hillary.

Wrong. It's about both.

And Trump is the only way to get that.

I hoped Trump/Cruz would be the ticket. Given how nasty it’s been between them, I don’t see how that’s possible anymore. I agree that Trump offering Cruz the VP would be a pragmatic move and that it would stop the fighting...I just don’t see it happening.

Well, the first one is almost assured; the second is a longshot.

Nothing “dirty” about our politics today really. Now if there were a dual...then maybe I could understand your concern.

Trump/Cruz...will NOT LOSE!

LANDSLIDE....

Oh politics has made stranger bedfellows than that. I’m sure that, if it’s expedient, they will kiss and make up and forget that they ever quarreled.

I suppose there’s been worse. I don’t think the 2 are getting along that well now though. I do wish they would be more civil.

Oh.

And what survey data backs up that theory?

The whole country already know everything about both Trump AND Hillary.
The polls won’t change, if anything if Trump keeps up the hate and lies on good conservatives like Ted Cruz, his poll numbers for the general will dip even further.

With Trump and Cruz on the same ballot it would not help the establishment to take either one out.
But all the hate and lies Trump poured on Ted makes the union unlikely.
And Trump doesn’t ask forgiveness from God much less from a mortal.

In the past that would be true. If Trump chose Cruz, he’d give a speech celebrating the choice at the convention.

If I were the media manager arranging ads against a Trump/Cruz ticket today, I’d start my ad theme, my storyline, of “Trump can’t make up his mind” with Trump calling Cruz “Lyin’ Ted” over and over and over at the debates and then splice it in with the praise Trump heaps upon Cruz at that convention speech. Other candidates in the past were able to choose also-rans because they didn’t get so crazily nasty with them. I just don’t see it working in this case.

It may happen but given the name calling, Cruz’s retorts etc...I just don’t see it.

Trump much more similar???
I beg to differ.
Which candidate has questionable birth circumstances and won’t produce the paperwork that would/could straighten things out?
Which candidate is a 1st-time Senator? And also has virtually NO experience in the real world such as actually working or meeting a payroll, having been a lawyer until he got into the senate?
Which candidate has a wife who started hauling down a huge “salary” shortly after they were elected to the Senate?
Which candidate has a scary-weird backer/friend? Which candidate has a “pastor” who has anointed them king?
And you say Trump is like Obama?
I rest my case...

I agree!
Conservatism/christianity was just the Schitck that Cruz perceived would resonate (read SELL).
He played it well, until folks began to see through the mask.
Now he’s floundering for a new line to get himself “crowned” king of whatever.
I find that pretty scarey.

He will only have 50 or 60% of the delegates. But then he will somehow have to lose the entire eastcoast to not make the the count eventually.

“If Trump wins Florida and Ohio, will he have enough delegates to win the nomination on the first ballot?”

No,but it makes the math almost impossible for Cruz to gain enough delegates from the remaining states.
