Kentucky caucuses

At stake: 46 statewide delegates
Delegate targets: Trump 21, Cruz 20, Rubio 17

The one poll of Kentucky conducted in February found Trump with 35 percent, Rubio with 22 percent, Cruz with 15 percent and John Kasich with 6 percent.1 I have no idea if that’s right. There hasn’t been enough polling for us to issue a forecast, and caucuses are hard to poll anyway. Like in Kansas, however, there’s a chance Trump underperforms in Kentucky because it holds a caucus, which requires more organization than a primary. Either way, Kentucky is unlikely to alter the delegate math much; all its delegates are awarded proportionally with just a 5 percent threshold.

If it’s false, whoever perpetrated that rumor SHOULD be spanked by the moderator.

Driving around Ellsworth, Maine yesterday, I saw a handful of signs for Bernie Sanders, none for Hillary.

I also saw a handful of signs for John Kasich, none for Trump, none for Cruz, and none for Rubio.

Trump or Cruz are the only two I would really want to vote for in the general.

Trump won the exit poll by 8% in Kansas. Which is consistent to the polls.

Howeve, we are being told Cruz is won Kansas. How are the numbers so off???

I smell a BIG FAT RAT.

My point...

Trump is the ONLY street fighter we have that can beat the Communist Witch.

A polite Hahvud debater from Canada has no chance.

Cruz talks out of both sides of his mouth. He decries a brokered convention yet that’s his only path. I thought it was because he thought he could take Trump’s votes but have heard establishment offered him SCOTUS or something and that might be it.

Either way, a vote for Cruz is a vote for a brokered convention and that means handing it back over to the establishment.

It looks like polling is screwed up because they can’t get in a reliable survey anywhere.

That’s why Gallup exited the polling business.

If you survey only landline phones, you’re gonna miss a lot of voters.

And the last polls haven’t picked up the turn against Trump and that is telling.

And the few polls, and even the recent polls showed trump winning Kansas.

RCP shows... Trafalgar Group 3/2 - 3/3 Trump +6 Fort Hays St. U. 2/19 - 2/26 Trump +18

That's how the polls showed it. So - are the polls way off in caucus states, or does the Trump recent debate and then flip-flop fiascos mean there was recent change in voter's attitudes???

All wrong.

And it was a Cruz blowout in KS.

Recent polls showed a Trump win there.

My point-look at what your fellow Freepers have said about Ted on debate nights. Polite is not one of the words used.

That means Hillary Clinton will be POTUS. Congrats to the GOPe idiots for losing again.

For the record I will not be voting for a GOPe rat.
