Yeah, Trump led the polls in Iowa, too.

Alabama votes in a primary, and not a caucus.

Look, I’m not saying this to wag a finger in your face, I really feel conflicted about Cruz, as I like him and Trump. While I’m leaning to Trump I won’t really know who I’ll vote for until I sit down with my pencil and voting card in less than three weeks.

However, the numbers are just not there for Cruz in this state. There is no Cruz ground game here in Alabama like in Iowa. There is no thousands of Cruz volunteers like in Iowa. Trump had 26,000 show up in Mobile with Jeff Sessions, who is EXTREMELY popular here, at his side. Jeff has all but endorsed him.

According to this map graphic, New Hampshire has a heavier concentration of Evangelicals than Nevada.

I hope we don’t get saddled with another McCain


You do remember, right off the bat Trump laid into Juan McLame —— and many threads here EXPOSED that low life, and ALLL his dirty deeds.

the only thing what matters how many votes you get. The guy who gets the most votes wins,


I thought it was the guy who COUNTED the votes ?!

Last I heard, Ted has a 5 point lead over Trump in Texas. That’s the only state I’m aware of where Ted is polling higher. But there might be others.

Not sure how official this is, but go to the link in this thread. Drill down on N.H. and it explains the allocation for that state and why Trump will get 12 delegates. Republican Delegate Allocation Rules by State

CNN still had Trump at 10 delegates in N.H. but they were only showing 17 of the 23 delegates assigned.

Cruz is limping away from barely beating Yeb for third in NH. Any attempt to paint him as the leader in the GOP race is ludicrous or just dishonest.

All posted today, somebody out there is pushing this story.

Is Cruz the frontrunner now?

Ted Cruz just might be the biggest winner of the N.H. GOP primary in the long run

Don’t sleep on Ted Cruz. The next five weeks look very, very good for him.

A front runner that just got beat by 24% in NH and is behind by 16% in the next one?

The very premise is laughable.

“I'd give Trump something like a 60 percent chance at the nomination at this point and Cruz a 35 percent chance” says the author.

And, it's probably closer to 80%.

Trump will not win the generals because he and his supporters are turning off conservatives alot. perhaps 30 percent.

How many conservatives promised never to vote for Romney and ended up doing so?

And, Trump will take labor and black votes from Democrats. He'll turn out people that usually don't vote.

Even after Iowa and New Hampshire you believe the polls?

The polls were right in New Hampshire.

he is not getting ONE MORE dem vote than romney or mccain or Bush got.

Nonsense. Polls already showing him winning big among labor union types.

As I said earlier, Cruz leads in California and Arkansas too

He won't be if Trump wins SC. To the victor of primaries goes the momentum.

You don’t want to face the very real scenario that South Carolina could be a bigger loss for Trump in South Carolina

What evidence is there that is realistic scenario?

Trump has led in SC since July. He had a 16-point lead before his win in NH.

SC is not Iowa. The military and national security are the top issues and Trump's message of building up the military and fixing the VA system is playing well there.
