Whether or not it is accurate, I won't say but their methodology is there for anyone to see.

I'm guessing that NBC and Murdoch have decided to accept that Trump will be the nominee and won't waste more money on such nonsense.
No offense taken Waldo ...

The anger increases as the Cruzifixion nears ...

I read about a poll where 58% of likely Republican voters in an Indiana poll disliked the Cruz-Kasich alliance. Sounds like that could have been a factor after all.

I can't imagine why any voters would care for politicians who try to subvert the election which is exactly what Cruz & Kasich decided to do.

It costs a lot of money to run a campaign. Why do you think people are dumping money into Cruz and Kasichs campaigns knowing they've been mathematically eliminated? There is some kind of deal already in place. Trump isn't getting the nomination

Becaue they like to waste/throw money away?

Just look at the Koch brothers and how much they have wasted, I mean spent, on the primaries and general elections in 2008, 2012 and 1016, tens, if not hundreds of millions. They just don't care, it's all about the cause, the fight, even if their candidate undoubtedly loses over and over and over.

I'm positive they must use $100 bills as toilet paper!

Maybe not. Cruz has so many delegates on his side that are only with Trump on the first vote. On the other hand, he doesn't have enough to win it. Who knows where this goes if Trump does not win the 1237.

Where did you read such a poll? It helps if the source is printed. Many polls are either slanted one way or the other or only a handful of people are polled. BTW, though it is not always "in our face" what Cruz-Kasich did is not unusual. These things go on behind the scenes in every election and other times. People not involved in serious politics really do not know this. I guess 24/7 and social media is exposed us to the real world huh?
