not true...in the most forward looking polls...those where the most informed and concerned voters are - the right wing internet sites....Cruz was always loved. Always. It was a fait accompli that as others became similarly informed, that Cruz would rise.
Now those audiences always liked Trump too, and it was a fait accompli that Trump would remain strong as well.
NOW: as to the “drafting “effect - which I understand - must be countered by the “same space” effect - and they clearly are splitting a lot of the same space. Neither of you mention that, which is one of the major dynamics of the entire Trump phenonemon.
Folks, this stuff should not be tried at home...it’s not as easy as you think.
Phyllis Schlafly who wrote “The Power of the Christian Woman” gives this thread the virtual title: “Mrs Conservative Christian Coalition America Endorses Trump”
I think it’s a big deal that Schlafly is willing to gamble on Trump BECAUSE of his courage and consistency throughout this process.
What it means, first, is that Cruz would be a great match with Trump.
Second, it means that demographic politics is being carefully considered in some non-Trump conservative circles.
I am VERY encouraged by that, because it says that their is a great desire for victory, and that some tradeoffs will be okay if it increases the likelihood of victory.
