Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz Split Anti-Donald Trump Vote In Florida

Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz Split Anti-Donald Trump Vote In Florida

A Florida Atlantic University public opinion poll released Saturday showed Donald Trump with 44 percent of the vote and Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz with 21 percent each. With the primary just days away, 5 percent of Florida Republicans still hadn't made up their minds.

If the numbers hold through Tuesday's primary, the billionaire businessman and part-time Palm Beach resident would win all of Florida's 99 nominating delegates in the winner-take-all primary.

If Rubio, Florida's junior U.S. senator, fares as poorly in actual votes in his home state as the poll indicates, it would be a devastating blow to his presidential hopes. If Cruz, a senator from Texas, finishes even with Rubio, that could boost his argument that he's the best alternative to Trump.

And if she hadn’t been wearing such a short skirt, she wouldn’t have been raped, right?

Wrong. Another FALSE analogy. You Trumpsters never seem to run out. It says a lot about you.

***

Tell me how it’s false.

Oh right, you can’t. Otherwise you would have explained it to me with your last post instead of just trying to gainsay me.

Sorry dude. You were taken in by a complete phony. Phony Christian, phony conservative, phony American. Hook, line, and sinker.

I’d feel sorry for you if you hadn’t been such a jackass about it for the last six months.

So instead...

HA!

HA HA!

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

BOY, DID YOU GET PLAYED!

Cruz can’t win Alabama. What makes you think he can win anywhere?

Thank you, Mr. Robinson, I couldn’t have said it better myself.

There are many of us here who had great respect for Ted Cruz, but he has become unrecognizable in his fervor to be elected. I can’t bear to look at him now. He has lost all of my respect in his outrageous slander and betrayal of his conservative principles to side with the GOP establishment.

And the inexplicable rage that I am seeing being unfairly thrown at Mr. Trump, tells me everything I need to know as to who is on the side this country and her people and who is on the side of the global elites.

But aren’t the Cruz Conservatives supposed to vote for Rubio so Trump does not get the 99 Florida delegates?

The GOP is the coward party. It’s blatantly obvious now.

Donald Trump with 44 percent of the vote and Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz with 21 percent each.

I'm a math person: 21+21=42. Trump has 44. If either Rubio or Cruz would drop out, the other one could lose a close race to Trump instead of getting crushed. I hope Cruz is smart enough not to put too much time into that state (once he is sure Rubio won't surge and win!).

75% of voters hate Ted Cruz. Only 49% of voters hate Trump.

Cruz is now the gop’s useful idiot. Once they’ve defeated Trump Cruz will be persona non grata in the gop once again.

It didn’t change my mind....it’s dirt ball politics, playing for keeps, just like Donald did to Ben Carson a few months ago.

I’ll vote for Donald but need to hold my breath for 4 years. Cruz bold conservatism is, knowledge and reverence for the constitution should be #1 concern.

Cruz and Trump agree on most of the key issues...both will kick ass on DC.

Yes Jim you have nailed it again, Cruz has left us, we didn’t leave him first.

I had great hopes on Cruz, but the lust for power and fear of defeat has turned him into what he had said he stood against.

At this point I wish for him what I do for all the bought and paid for GOPee, defeat and dust bin of history. Maybe some of them including Cruz will see their folly and turn to honorable conservatism like prodigals returning home, somewhere down the road. There are sure a lot /most politicians on the other side from Democrats to the establishment GOPee... we need more in Washington like Sessions who stand firm against the corrupt Washington machine.
