Immmm apparently you have not been watching the republican side of the primaries. Trump has been drawing ever larger crowds.
At this point with the rent a thug groups damaging folks who stand in line to see Trump, I don’t think it is a matter of casually going to see a personality.
The electorate is fired up. Cruz has been doing very poorly for a long time. He started off by taking the South for granted. That led to him being behind from the get go. The talk early on was that Trump wouldn’t do well in the South ut would maybe make it up else where. The likely folks who were ‘supposed’ to do well in the South were Bush, rubio, Cruz, and maybe Carson.
Trump proved them all wrong. He continues to do so where people are actually allowed to vote.
I know that Cruz die hards think he can delay Trump and then win on a second or third ballot. As much as that strategy may have made sense to some one, it is NOT working.
I don’t know who convinced Ted that this was the way to go but it is the way he campaigned from the start. He played not to lose. Tough toenails. He’s losing and he can’t believe that “that gut” is beating him
I think it’s pretty funny. Since one should always go for the win
RE: rent-a-mob ...
The mobs create news for the endless cycle
In some part, the MSM is owned by the same people who pay the mobs
All in all..More hopeless change
RE: Republican side of the primaries.. I’m one who’s paying attention and concerned for the general.....very poor turnout by both parties in latest primaries...dems did better in all but one. PA had best Republican turnout ... dems did better by a smidgen there.
I’ve been told not to worry about November, as primary turnout is always low...
I just find it odd that Nate Silver, who is excellent at projecting elections, on his FiveThirtyEight website has Cruz with a 65% chance of winning using one model, his "polls plus". and the other model, the "polls only", gives Trump a 71% chance of winning.
Maybe that's a fancy way of saying it's a tossup.
Here is his latest article on Indiana, it might interest you.
Summary of article: "What do I think, as a native son? I think Trump will do better here than most pundits predict.
Cruz had to have spent millions in the south, especially SC. His commercials were non-stop on radio and TV, and the mailers...my gosh, never-ending. Here in the more conservative Upstate, he drew huge crowds, but so did Donald and even Bernie. If there was one county-region Cruz absolutely should have won, it should have been here, and yet, he didn’t. I don’t recall for sure, but I think he didn’t win even one county across the state. That IMHO was the beginning of the end for Cruz—the proverbial having hit the iceberg leading to his ultimate demise of ever becoming the nominee.
