The Basswood Research survey of 500 likely Republican primary voters, conducted on March 19 and 20, shows the Texas senator leading Trump by 4.8 points, 36.2 to 31.4. Ohio Gov. John Kasich trails with 20.8.
Cruz’s lead expands dramatically in a head-to-head contest with Trump. If Kasich were to drop out before the primary, 47.8 percent of respondents say they would back Cruz, compared to just 36.2 percent for Trump.

The GOPe is pleased. Anything that denies Trump 1237 all but guarantees their chosen one on the 2nd ballot...and it won’t be Cruz
And this is why Roger is whispering in the National Enquirer’s ear.
Plus ted’s ground game adds a couple more points. Trump won’t get to 1237 without WI. He may want to ask Ted if he can be VP or in his cabinet.
I will NOT vote for another Romney-Cruz-Soros.
NO GOP WILL EVER GET OUR VOTE AGAIN if they DARE
interfere with the People’s choice and put in another
scheming dirty trick loser like Cruz or Romney.
lol did anyone notice one of Cruz’s supposed mistresses is.. Trumps national spokeswoman?
ROFL
I can’t believe anyone falls for this stuff!
I am surprised they didn’t have a picture of Hillary and ET blacked out too!
ROFL
She used to work for Cruz, bro. I don’t think it’s true, but it’s not utterly ridiculous as you imagine.
Exactly.
Not to mention that Basswood Research is virtually the private polling arm of the Club for Growth (of Our Own Pockets).
Ted won’t play with the slim ball trump...
And his supporters here have turned FR into a Tabloid web site.
Don’t get too excited. Breaking news all night online. 3 of the 5 alleged women have been identified and it may become a criminal matter involving half a mil in hush money. Time will tell.
Paul Ryan and Kasich, Paul and Rubio, Paul and Mia Love?
Cruz is the tool they need to upset the Trump win.
I wondered where this little private blog got the money to do their ‘poll.’ Now I know. Thanks!
I will not either. This BS that Cruz did not know about the photo is just that as the photo and the “vote for Cruz” was an AD run in UTAH targeting Mormon women. Lying TED just keeps on LYING. And his campaign never saw this or never knew about it. BS.

LOL doing everything to prop up the establishment spoiler so they can have their contested convention. LOL
Numbers based on the current allocations at Thegreenpapers.com
‘hard’ delegates
Trump 752
Cruz 463
Kasich 144
That puts Trump 289 ahead of Cruz with 893 delegates available in remaining states.
Trump needs 485 of those of those 893.
Cruz needs 774 of those 893.
Kasich is numerically out of the race, as he needs 1093 delegates with only 893 remaining. He is short by 200 delegates, even if he wins 100% of all remaining states/delegates.
Going to have to explain the 500k donation to an opponent. Can’t wait to hear it.
