Sorry...but CanuckTed simply lacks the fire to inspire and attack mode that Trump has and what America needs to beat back the Commie Witch.

Considering CanuckTed now has ex-JebBush people in his campaign, the Establishment now has its candidate to defeat the People’s candidate.

The last polls were a week ago.

It looks like economic conservatives and libertarians as well as social conservatives are coalescing around Cruz.

In the past some of these voters split for Trump. If that’s the case, good news for Cruz going forward.

Why aren’t Cruz supporters factoring in the “birth issue?” Because there is no real birth issue. I, and many other attorneys, have read the case law and it is consistent that Cruz is a natural-born American. While the media may run with this due to their willingness to attack Republicans on any basis, there is no meat to the argument.

Well if Cruz/establishment get in Americans can thank Fox, all other media, Rush, Levin, et al.

It’s been Trump/people against the world.

I smell a big fat rat


I wonder the same thing when I see the Drudge Report “who won the debate” poll results and before the debate is over Trump is winning the poll by 30-40%

B.S. it’s fixed and your gut knows it.

It’s okay you can be happy because the GOPe will lose another race again.

Idiots!

Trump has consistently under performed his polling. Not to the extreme that it has happened in Kansas, I now automatically dock Trump’s poll numbers by at least 10% when I look at polls.

Trump had +8% in Kansas exit polls. How in the hell does that flip to this crap. I guess all the voters changed their minds in caucus?

That’s the general rule of thumb....

It’s difficult to poll a caucus.

Although some of the primaries have been way off, too, such as Texas.

Your reasoning may be correct. But I have to think a little of the Cruz support from Trump has to be from the last debate. No-one in their heart really thought that went well for Trump. And then his extreme flip-flops on three positions the very next day - had to scare many of the fence sitters, and late deciders away from him.

It won’t be Cruz. Whoever the establishment sticks in there, they won’t beat Hillary but we all know the GOP doesn’t care. As long as the folks writing the checks stick around and GOP keeps their share of power, they’re good.

We tried to overthrow a government, not such an easy thing to do.

"At stake: 40 delegates: 12 district, 28 statewide."

Actually there are 3 others at stake, the Chairman and the 2 National Committee people from Kansas. Under Kansas rules, they are bound to Cruz until the 2nd ballot, since he's the winner of the State.

The Lion Cruz doing well today. he'll end with 35-40 in the state. Trump will get 7-9, Rubio getting a couple.

Louisiana will still go Trump, since low-information voters have an open invitation to vote.

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.

Yes. The polls seem corrupt.

Trump still outperformed McCain and Romney in KS and that’s his weakest state.

Try telling that to a hand-picked-by-obama judge. How many years have people been filing birther lawsuits against him? All they have to do is drag it out from July to the first week of November. What then?

Eh, that Drudge poll is a popularity contest. Heck, didn’t Trump even win the Drudge poll in that debate he skipped?
