REGIONAL BREAKDOWNS: SoCal is head over heels for Trump (Trump 49 percent; Cruz 34, Kasich 13) , Central Valley leans Trump (Trump 39, Cruz 26, Kasich 18), and Inland Empire for Cruz (Cruz, 43, Trump 30, Kasich, 9). Silicon Valley and the Bay Area? Kasich trounces Trump 43-36, with Cruz at 14.

Yes, Cruz ended up in a runoff... totally unexpected because Dewhurst (by the way Dewhurst has now endorsed Cruz) was endorsed by the governor and all the leading politicians.
Cruz earned that runoff and once he got it, he had no problem. He has acknowledged Sarah’s help but she was not the deciding factor.
Cruz was free to take on the media and not say what his handlers told him to. He did not do it. He had as much access to media as trump did. the difference is that Trump was not afraid of them and Cruz was.
He does not have the talent Trump has. It is that simple. Even now media is complaining Cruz is avoiding them. He has all the access he wants. He is just afraid to do what Trump does.
Uh, shouldn't you have put "reality" in quotation marks?
I mean, it's not as if the show dealt with "real" reality.
No, I think we can be confident that virtually every minute of The Apprentice was scripted, and that whenever Mr. Trump fluffed a line, the scene could be shot again and again until everything went perfectly according to plan.
Now that's not necessarily hostile criticism, mind you. There's no business like show business, and Mr. Trump is a master of the TV medium. Gotta give him credit where credit is due, even though as GOP nominee, he'd run the chances of a 49-state loss.
(Why only 49 states? The latest poll indicates that Hillary could beat Mr. Trump in Utah. But at least he'd probably have a fighting chance in Mississippi, because the latest poll there shows that he and Hillary are within the margin of error.)
I would not go there if I were you.
The video is explicit and disgraceful. Trump exactly and cruelly mimics the involuntary movements of the reporter.
Did you watch the video of the reporter? Watch the reporter. There are video of the reporter out there being interviewed in other situations and he acts nothing like does Trump in the video posted by Evening Star.
And just what do you mean by “not go there”j. A search for the truth does not offend me. Does it you?
If we were still singing Hail to the Queen, slavery would have been abolished in 1825 and there would have been no civil war.
It’s a bit early for these polls.
But early take home message for Californians is strategic vote for Kasich.
Yupp, I’m in PA, and Trump just opened an office about 45 minutes from me. They had it on the news the other day, it was packed with people picking up signs and stuff. I’m going to make my way down there soon too. He has a very large support group on the ground in PA, and probably the whole northeast.
“Notice how in the above excerpt Kasich “trounces” Trump with a 7 point lead in the Silicon Valley but Trump does so so with a 15 point lead over Cruz in Southern California and a 34 point lead over Kasich in Southern California but somehow a 7 point lead by Kasich is called a trouncing. The media bias is simply amazing. “
I noticed that off the bat as well.
If I just take the four regions and average them, I get Trump 38, Cruz 29 and Kasich 11. That presumes Republicans are going to vote equally in the four regions which we know won’t happen.
This is the sort of intelligent commentary we've come to expect from Trump supporters. Defeating a solidly conservative Republican rival is more important than beating a genocidal maniac who literally murdered millions of people.
Go back to the children's table. Let the adults handle this.
Hey you have said some doozies with trump. This is primary season. You know passions are up. Only a little while longer.
The voters give a resounding NO to Cruz.
A slight misrepresentation, some voters, in some races, alot of voters, not the voters
WISCONSIN
Some Voters gave a resounding no to Trump also.
Wouldn't it be refreshing to drop the animosity and hyperbole that is usually reserved for the demonrats?
I know. We are in a heated primary and I said something ridiculous to try and shut the Cruz folks up for a minute.
Love it and thank you and your community for helping. Trump is clearly an American treasure. The last thing we need is some fake foreign liberal becoming president. Cruz is a traitor to this country.
Good God you still trying to lie to us about your sleazy candidate Cruz the liberal traitor to America. Enough! Go back to lying down because Cruz has the next hour scheduled. I know you can’t wait. Weird thing about you though is how you can take all those others doing it before you. Gross!
The IE is huge geographically (contains the largest county in the nation, San Bernardino County), but a drop in the bucket population-wise.
I know Cruz has had 4 legitimate wins with voters. Texas, Oklahoma Wisconsin and Idaho. That’s it for the voters. If you think about it, Cruz is pathetic when it comes to real Americans voting.
Sarah was the reason that scruzer won,he never intended to do 6 years in the senate,his smarmy ego told him he should just say adios to his sworn oath of office and run for president. No wonder Sarah was pissed,as all the Texans that voted for him should have been. You let him slide,and worse you are encouraging that awful behavior every day. Do you hire a plumber to install a new toilet pay him and then watch him go searching for a more prominent, lucrative job on your and my dime? I don’t think so. We have a creep like that in Florida, former Governor Charlie crist. He would run for office and as soon as he was in,he would start running for another elected office. That yutz is running for congress in a district that is probably more rat now and will win in November. He has been a lousy lawyer working for ambulance chasing shyster lawyers in Tampa. He is a political prostitute.
Probably the rural counties that should secede from the West coast if they want to keep their guns and not be ousted by illegals.
