Wisconsin exit poll: More than 1/3 of Republicans won't vote GOP if Trump — or Cruz — is nominee

Well the WI exit polls sucked on most subjects so this is probably also wishful thinking.

[Red Badger]

Is it the same third?...............

Hey, I'm just following directions.....

"By the way, this is a nomination for the Republican Party," Priebus told 620 WTMJ in Wisconsin. "If you don't like the party, then sit down. The party is choosing a nominee."

[Diogenesis]

Ergo, the GOP will submit: Romney and Ryan 2.0

to make ObamaCARE and ObamaTRADE moot, again.
The GOP way.

[Mr. K]

Thanks for being so helpful liberal media!

We know you have only our best interests at heart

1/3, huh?

I guess that’s better than the 2/3 that stayed home because Romney was such a worthless candidate

[RC one]

In 2016, there were 305,000 more republican votes in Wisconsin than in 2012. there was large increases of Republican voters in Democratic strongholds. Donald trump won 37,000 more votes than Mitt Romney did and Mitt Romney won Wisconsin. Now exit polls reveal that these so called republicans won’t vote for either front runner? tell me thse weren’t Dem crossovers tampering with our primary.

Question is meaningless unless it can be compared to the same question with respect to Kasich and Ryan or others.

Is it the same third?

Excellent question!

I'd guesstimate that one of the "thirds" have many crossover voters and the other of the "thirds" have many tea-party types; with exceptions both ways.

I hope it ends with the convention w/o 3rd party, and able to vote for Trump or Cruz.

[PIF]

Once again a sizable portion of the GOP is throwing a fit and preparing to turn the county over to a radical communist (aka socialist) or a known criminal. Was bad enough last two times they had fits - much like Millennial precious snowflakes - and gave the country 0bama twice.

Way to go guys - hope you like the loss of almost everything in the Constitution except the paper it is written on.

I support Cruz but it would just be anti-American not to vote for Trump in the general if he wins the primary and vice versa for Trump supporters to not vote for Cruz if he wins.

That's just my opinion and I understand if angry people disagree, but that's what I think and yelling or cursing at me won't change my mind.

[Vigilanteman]

Wisconsin is an open primary. How many people participating in the exit polls were actually Republicans?

Why not an exit poll of Democrats to see how many would vote for the witch if Bernie wasn't the nominee?

[Souled_Out]

The quickest way to determine if you are a gope loser is to win the WI primary, just ask Mitt and Dole.

[Cannoneer]

Who believes these stupid polls? Of course they are getting Trump/Cruz supporters to profess they will never vote for the other candidate now. That is a hope to sway votes. When rubber meets the road, which ever candidate gets the nod, most will find Hillary so unacceptable that they will be motivated to end her reign.

However, if the GOPe is able to shoehorn an establishment candidate in, all bets are off. Most won't be able to hold their nose and vote for another non conservative and will punish the GOPe for their deceit.

[dforest]

That means that two thirds won’t vote for anyone else.

No

Sense

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

This isn't going to be very popular, but....

Both of these guys would be helped significantly by female running mates to soften their images a bit. Fiorina does well among women, and would have business experience that Cruz lacks. And Trump would really help himself with a decent female running mate as well, preferably a governor or ex-governor.

Purity is nice, but it doesn't do you any good if you can't win.

[RegulatorCountry]

If they won’t vote for either Trump or Cruz as nominee, then who did they vote for in the primary, Kasich? His numbers don’t support that.
