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

“Trump pulls white Dems to make up the difference, Cruz pulls his supporters leg and his own pud.”

And you are not in Junior High?

This is how boys talk who have no understanding and are powerless children.

It actually makes sense. Kasich had 14 percent. 33-14 = 19. So nineteen percent of the vote - folks who are anti Trump and Cruz -- went to Cruz to try and derail Trump. Since Cruz won by 13 percent, it means his winning margin was provided for him by voters who won't vote for him come November.

Train wreck in the making.

Well, as you, your kids, and grandkids lose their representative rights under a positive-rights, dictatorial Supreme Court, you can wallow in your own self-satisfaction that you helped elect Hillary.

Quite a legacy you'll leave.

Look, my preferred candidate is gone. I don't like either one of these guys. But I'm voting for the nominee, whoever it is, because the Democrats cannot be given the Supreme Court appointments they'll get if Hillary or Bernie wins. That'll be game over.

Romney lost WI to Obama by 7 points.

The obvious premise of this false exit poll is self-defeating, by the numbers of the election itself.

100% of these voters voted for someone in this Republican primary, and only 20% of them failed to vote for either Cruz or Trump.

Figger it out folks!

We may be in a situation where 1/3 won’t vote TRUMP and another 1/3 won’t vote CRUZ, and another 1/3 won’t vote for a GOPe alternate from a brokered convention............

Vote Real, Vote Cruz!

(don’t let Trump congratulate Hitlery on her win!)

Ah, name calling since you can’t dispute the numbers. How typical of you.

Why didn’t ksick get all those votes?

[lodi90]

NeverGOP is the natural reply to NeverTrump. The hysterical neverTrumpers are going to regret ever going down that road if the nom is stolen from Trump.

[dirtboy]

I did. You didn't like the math. Because it shows Cruz wins with support from people who would never vote for him in the general.

[NorthMountain]

The remainder instead would vote for a third-party candidate (18 percent), vote for Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton (7 percent) or not vote at all (6 percent).

Options (1) and (3) above I can sort of understand. Option (2) is sheer madness.

[dirtboy]

Because a 19 percent voting block went for Cruz to try and deny Trump the majority in Cleveland. And then they will be agitating for a brokered convention that shuts out Cruz.

[for-q-clinton]

I’ll say this...I do appreciate Trump being there as it made it possible for Cruz to win the nomination.

[RC one]

but he won the primary.

[CapitalistCrusader]

I’ve said this before: Suzanna Martinez, NM gov would make a perfect running mate for Mr. Trump.

[lodi90]

Why would you not want “Republican” votes as well? Do we no demand ideological purity not just from our candidates, but from those who vote for them?

Crap, I’ll take a bunch of blind socialist geezers and a bunch of butterfly ballots if that’s what it takes for the GOP nominee to win in November.

I demand my elected GOP Reps do not meet in secret with rich DEMOCRATS to “stop” my candidate. I can see why GOP hobbyists as yourself wouldn’t have a problem with that. Well, too bad for you and your beloved GOP but plenty of us are done with the GOP wing of the uniparty. They simply have no interest in representing those who elect them and we will not support them any longer.

[lodi90]

I don’t think these numbers are all that surprising given the brutal primary so far...once the nominee is determined, that will change once the focus goes to Hillary.

No, these bells can’t be unrung. Hysterical NeverTrumpers made their bed. Now they can lay in it.
