This straw poll is interesting for a number of reasons - it is, I believe, a barometer of where the party is headed more and more, on the ground anyway, as opposed to the media and Trump’s Twitter account.

Cruz is the heavy favorite among the core committed GOP traditional voters in Pennsylvania, not Kasich, who seems to really be fizzling. Secondly, there is a grass roots movement growing in the heart of the GOP against Trump, for Cruz.
I guess not everyone agrees with Lindsey Graham that “It’s like being shot or poisoned.” :cool: (Or else they just don’t like Graham very much. ;))

Well, I don’t know. I feel like I did take a little poison on the Cruz thing. 😉 Stiff upper lip. I am on board now. Where we will end up is an entirely different question.

Are you watching that CNN series Race for the White House by chance. I recommend it. Last night it was Dewey v Truman. Everyone thought Dewey had it - Truman didn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell. My point is…ya’ never know. I think the GOP should go Cruz from here on out - don’t look back, no holds barred. And send Cruz to manners lessons, “How To Care About and Talk To Moderates 101.”

At least he doesn’t use a fork when eating pizza.

Saw Cruz on Megyn Kelley last night. I thought he was awesome. I loved his response on Abortion. He also denied the affair rumor saying straightforward there he has absolutely been faithful to Heidi. I just can’t see doing that although of course I could be wrong. Gov. Scott Walker also appeared with him.
Hope he takes Wisconsin!!

Yes, I think Cruz will take it comfortably, but not by 10% over Trump. That is an exaggeration. Trump is pushing kind of a manic last minute “I’ve got Wisconsin” story which I think could, tomorrow morning, make it quite clear how much of a show we have all been watching. Not that that is not clear now. The deals are getting bigger and bigger and bigger…but now it is really starting to matter. Open convention, anyone?

I tend to believe him about the adultery in part because his past actions make me think he’s an authentic person and in part because of an incident that happened to my sister. She was working with the Cruz campaign several months ago and someone (I don’t remember who) was shopping this exact same story to the campaign. The only difference was that Rubio was the man in question, not Cruz. One of the other campaign workers wanted to publicize it and my sister took the issue to the leaders who shut it down quickly as baseless gossip they wanted no part of.

Yes-I just don’t see him as the type-of course I could be wrong.
 
Praying hard that Sen. Cruz prevails. he wasn’t my first choice(was a Rubio supporter) but he’s the best one and most pro-life one running now and I believe he can defeat Hillary Clinton in November or at least has a far better chance than Trump… Especially if he chooses Carly Fiorina as VP choice.
Under Trump with abortion it would be the same old same old which I believe was his intention all along.
I believe Trump has been saying what he thinks conservatives want to hear-“Yeah, punish the woman, that’s it!”, then has had to walk it back when faced with the realization that that is NOT the true conservative position, and was not the position even back in the old" Dark Ages" before Roe, it was always the doctor punished, not the woman.

The Susan B. Anthony list just said that Trump disqualified himself from being President because he said that the laws on abortion should remain unchanged. Kasich is pro life in some cases but pro choice in cases of incest, rape, and the life of the mother. As far as I know, Cruz is the only 100% pro life candidate running.

Except that trump never said the laws shouldn’t be changed. What a joke!
 
"I think we have to leave it that way until they are changed. "
Trump said, “The laws are set now on abortion and that’s the way they’re going to remain until they’re changed.”
“I would’ve preferred states’ rights,” he added. “I think it would’ve been better if it were up to the states. **But right now, the laws are set….At this moment, the laws are set. And I think we have to leave it that way.”

What about what he said right after that?

“The laws are set now on abortion,” NBC went on to quote Trump as having said in the CBS interview, “and that’s the way they’re going to remain until they’re changed.”

You will only hear what you want to hear. Trump said more but it doesn’t matter to you.

By the way, the finger wagging is very annoying.
 
Cruz pulls into nationwide dead heat with Trump: Reuters/Ipsos poll
U.S. Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz has pulled into a statistical dead heat with front-runner Donald Trump, a new Reuters/Ipsos national poll showed on Tuesday, as the Texas senator appeared poised to pick up a key victory in Wisconsin’s primary.
Cruz received 35.2 percent of support to Trump’s 39.5 percent, the poll of 568 Republicans taken April 1-5 found. The numbers put the two within the poll’s 4.8 percentage-point credibility interval, a measure of accuracy. Cruz and Trump were also briefly in a dead heat on March 28.
Cruz has now for the second time statistically polled in a dead heat with Trump nationally - preferred GOP candidate. (35.2 to 39.5 - 4.8 margin of error)
