Exit Poll: GOP Voters Like Sound of Cruz Presidency Far More than Trump or Kasich Ones
Weekly Standard ^ | 4/7/16 | Jeffrey H. Anderson

Posted on 04/07/2016 1:44:46 PM PDT by justlittleoleme

Exit polling from the Wisconsin primary shed some light on which of the three remaining GOP candidates might have the best chance of uniting the Republican party going into November. Voters were asked about their "feelings" if Donald Trump, John Kasich, or Ted Cruz were elected as president.

In response, 41 percent said they would be "excited" or "optimistic" if Trump were elected, while 58 percent said they would be "concerned" or "scared"—for a net score of minus-17 points (41 percent excited/optimistic to 58 percent concerned/scared).

Finally, 60 percent said they would be "excited" or "optimistic" if Cruz were elected, while 37 percent said they would be "concerned" or "scared"—for a net score of +23 points.

That is a 40-point swing from Trump to Cruz

Another way of putting it:

Trump = Born, Queens, NY
Kasich = Born, McKees Rocks, PA
Cruz = Born, Calgary, Canada

And that’s why Trump has 750 delegates, and Ted has 500.

I guess the Cruzbots haven’t noticed that lying Ted no longer says “the Washington Cartel.” Because he is owned and is part of them and always has been. What a fraud - I’m beginning to think he might be worse than obama - or maybe it’s a toss up.

Where did you study constitutional law?

When were you confirmed to the SCOTUS?

You’ve got nothing but BS, just like your man little Donnie.

Didn’t study Constitutional law.

Haven’t been confirmed to SCOTUS

What is BS about what I posted?

Those were accurate birth places for each of the three.

Strange, the media and politicians, never ask “what are your thoughts about .....”? The ask “what are your feelings”. Big difference.

Perhaps Cruz exit polled poltroons can make Cruz Persident of Wisconsin and Paul Ryan VP.

I read there was no gender gap in Wisconsin. So much for the “Trump hates women” meme.

Trump = Democrat

Kasich = RINO

Cruz = constitutional conservative


Trump = 1st Place

Kasich = 2nd Place

Cruzers need to hold on tight. Going to be a rough month coming up.

The people that voted for Cruz in WI prefer him to be President. Stay Tuned to the Weakly Standard for more shocking updates!

Water not frozen flows downhill.

“I would think that a state where Cruz won by double digits would prefer Trump, right?”

The best Duh of the day!

Reality versus the PR bs from the Trump haters @ the Weekly Standard.
