Presidential candidate Ted Cruz opened up a large margin of support from those who participated in last week's Must Read Alaska straw poll. We closed the online survey before the debate on Thursday. Here are the results:
Ted Cruz won 34 percent, Donald Trump won 27 percent and Marco Rubio won 17 percent. No other candidate won enough support in this particular survey to be awarded delegates to the Republican National Convention. When the Presidential Preference Poll is held on March 1, candidates must receive at least 13 percent of the vote to gain delegates to the convention in Cleveland.
Cruz came to Alaska in 2014 to campaign for now-Senator Dan Sullivan.
Well, they’re used to Canadians up their... :-)
As long as Trump wins the actual day, I don’t care what some straw poll says. We all must band together to ensure our candidate Trump wins Iowa. After that he will have a pretty decent road to victory with perhaps a state here or there that he may have to visit. But only worrying about Iowa now. Thank God for Sarah. She is key to helping Trump win Iowa. We are so lucky Trump is running this time.
God Bless Donald Trump and Sarah Palin
Trump 2016
Well, they’re used to Canadians up their... :-)
Up their what? Or did you mean there?
Another trumpee pedaling trump lies for him. No surprise. Carry on.
Must Read Alaska straw poll. Wow?
No lie at all - they are next to Canada. I think less than two years ago, Cruz was Canadian.
Anyone see thread just pulled about Trump praising Obama? Must be Onyx moderating.
Aren’t they heavy dem up there?
Could this mean Alaska likes Cruz better than Sarah Palin?
Polls was closed before the debate.
Must be those danged Murkowski write-ins.
Maybe these Alaskans have forgotten that only a few weeks ago, Trump singularly upset the whole election apple cart!
Trump set the national agenda by opposing illegal immigration and bringing up other issues that the GOPe and their allies desperately wanted to avoid, and now they can’t.
The GOPe was not prepared for this, and as a consequence they don’t have a clue about what to do, hence their almost universal collapse into a pile of quivering jello, flip-flopping like a bag of Mexican jumping beans dumped on a hot griddle.
Trump has exposed those who pretend to be conservative but are really just fronts for big money establishment campaign donors who purchase their candidates with campaign “donations”.
Trump, by actually being a real man, has exposed the other candidates (Cruz excepting of course) and their allies for the weak little sniveling sellouts that they really are.
Trump’s vociferous truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media have been the catalyst that triggered a massive revolt amongst conservative voters who are infuriated at the GOPe Congress doing absolutely ZERO to stop Obama’s agenda, and suddenly the GOP RINO leadership is in full blown panic mode and in full blown retreat, and the SMALL conservative House contingent smelt blood in the water, took heart, and charged in against a weakened, frightened and paralyzed GOPe leadership, and Boehner was taken out as a sacrificial lamb.
Trump is absolutely correct when he says that without Trump in the race, everything would be same-ol’, same-ol. The Joyful Tippy-Toes Turtle would be creeping closer to the finish line, Boehner would still be safely ensconced as Speaker, and there would be no mention of illegal immigration are any of the issues surrounding it by any politician in either party, other than possibly how critical it would be to pass immigration “reform”.
The media are loath to make the connection, but it’s obvious that the Boehner resignation was yet another falling domino, toppling due to the Trump Effect, because Trump’s unabashed truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media triggered a revolt amongst the great unwashed GOP masses which emboldened a few conservative Congress critters to grow a few pairs.
And we wouldn’t even be having ANY of these conversations about illegal immigration and the myriad of other Obammunist issues destroying our country if it wasn’t for Trump. Instead, we’d simply be debating which RINO, GOPe squish would be least likely to be stomped by Hillary, and the GOPe would once again be exhorting the “base” about how critical it is for us to once again vote for the “lesser of two evils”, that is, vote for the GOPe side of the Uniparty coin.
And do note that ALL of the oligarchs and plutocrats are frightened to death of Donald Trump because the billionaires and millionaires can’t buy him like all of the other politicians they routinely purchase, because Trump doesn’t need nor want their money, and the kommie media is frightened to death of him because he isn’t afraid of them either, the bottom line being that Donald Trump can not be controlled by the rich and powerful or the corrupt media, so for anyone who is truly for campaign finance reform and wants to take money out of politics, voting for Trump is the only reasonable choice.
President Trump is really the last hope for this country: if he can’t undo any of the damage wrought by the Obammunists, the U.S.A. is done.
So least we forget, the above, and much more, are called “The Trump Effect”.
Good for Ted. He can see Canada from up there :)
Ted Stevens, Lisa Murkowski, and Ted Cruz...they really can pick Senators up there. Or maybe I should say “up theirs” because that’s where they can shove the straw.
Fortunately, Alaskans have done better when it comes to choosing Sarah Palin as Governor, who actually got things accomplished and put more money into Alaksan’s pockets instead of taking more out as the Senators have done.
Ted’s theme song
“Almost born in the USA, I was almost born in the USA”
Born NEAR the USA ;-)
.
This is the Palin boost that I was expecting.
Alaskans understand buffoons like Trump.
.
I have to laugh. As often as I read here about the “cruzbots” attacking Trump unjustly, just as often I see snarky comments like your against Cruz. Can't we all just agree that there is no honor amongst thieves, and talk about the actual issues and differences between them, not hyperbole?
BTW, where's Palin from, you know, the one who just endorsed Trump yesterday. Oh, yeah, that's right, from “Uppa US”!
.
Trump has won everything he is ever going to win: Zip.
And up until two months ago, Trump was a liberal....whats your point?
