Cruz’s over performance was due to two things, one Rubio dropped like a rock and Cruz got those votes and two Dr. Carson dropped out and those mostly went to Cruz..."
Well, wouldn't that indicate that Cruz has been held back by their presence in the race? And that their presence (along with Rubio and Kasich) skew the true nature of a Cruz/Trump competition?
In other words, Cruz's support is diluted by the others' presence; Trump not so much.
If they're gone or leave the race, Cruz shows big movement.
Just a thought.
The Incredible Shrinking Rubio. :)
You could be right, it would be especially helpful to Cruz if Rubio left the race. But what does that tell you about the “true conservative” Cruz? I’m astonished that people don’t see Ted’s establishment ties.
Nope, when voters turned from Rubio they went to the other Washington insider. Rubio voters never even pretended to want an outsider.
It tells me nothing. It's not binary.
Matter of fact, it probably has as much to do with people not liking/not trusting Trump.
And you can't assign traits to a candidate from the characteristics of their supporters.
You wouldn't want that done with Trump, would you?
Trump’s performances in those States based on final RCP Polling:
Alabama: Actual - 43.4 Polling - 38.0
Georgia: Actual - 38.8 Polling - 36.2
Tennessee: Actual - 38.9 Polling - 40.0
South Carolina: Actual - 32.5 Polling - 31.8
New Hampshire: Actual - 35.3 Polling - 31.2
Nevada: Actual - 45.9 Polling - 42
Massachusetts: Actual - 49 Polling - 45.3
Over-performed in Alabama and New Hampshire, certainly. Did a little better than expected in Nevada and Massachusetts, so I’ll throw those in, too. Was pretty darn close to South Carolina and Georgia, going to call that ‘as expected’. Tennessee, he came in ‘as expected’ (on the low end) to the only poll taken in the last month before they voted.
Overall, the polling for Trump has been amazingly accurate.
Is that a guess on Idaho? Because I would think Idaho would be Trump country.
Or maybe you need to pay attention to those same polls that you tout that show Trump’s dominance in the Republican primaries. They also show that Trump has the biggest negatives of any Republican candidate.
He isn’t persuading supporters from other candidates.
“You Trumpettes need to align with your Master on these talking points.”
(sigh of disgust)
Odd? I suppose. Proof of fraud. Give me a break.
Well that's new. According to the entire U.S. gov't and national media, Trump is KKK because someone said they support him.
Trump:
MS- Win by very narrow margin
MI- 2nd by a few points
ID- 2nd
HI- 3rd
LOL. Sarcasm?
Cruzers will say we took al we took all even if they only win one state.
Just kidding and that is as ridiculous as the comment Trump, my master wins all.
We all have our favorite candidate. Argue points but do not ridicule other freepers regardless of the side one is on.
Please explain how that's different from,
Cruzbots in unison, "Cruz, my Master wins all!, Cruz my Master will all!"
On both sides it's partisanship on steroids losing sight of the real goal: America's recovery of freedom from unconstitutional central governance.

I agree.....Rubio-H, Cruz-I Trump Mi, Ms
Excuse me but please, it’s not only Trumpettes but also Trumpers. Please don’t try to emasculate the male Trump supporters.
certainly very odd and with no explanation, come on we saw what they did in MS a couple of years back.
I don’t trust the establishment one bit and what happened in ME is how you say, “odd”
But how does he win FL and OH in the general.
