Maybe teddy's whiny/nasally voice and creepy demeanor is starting to wear on the masses. These things can take time with some of the herd being a bit......you know, slow, to figure these types of things out.

I noted:

Polls where Mr. Trump is #2: "Nah, it is not good, it only had 1,050 participants . . . not enough."
Polls where Mr. Trump is #1: "It's a good poll, it had 400 participants! 400 is greater than 1,050."

Correction: Cruz had the momentum.

The anti-Trump contingent in the media have been pumping their chests that what they have been saying all along about Trump is coming true. Everything has finally caught up with Trump and his campaign is imploding. Add to that the abortion "debacle" and a host of other stuff, if Trump wins tomorrow while under such sustained and withering attacks, CNN has to find replacements for Amanda Carpenter and the rest of Trump prophets.

I would have thought that Clinton would have had it wrapped up by now.
What's "tight" about being ahead by more than 2.5 million votes? The only way Bernie Sanders can even come close to her is if he wins each of the primaries by very large percentages. He will probably win in Wisconsin, but maybe he'll get 5 or 6 points. Without superdelegates, Clinton currently has 1,243 to Sanders 980 pledged delegates. The only way he can catch up at all is to win big in New York and Pennsylvania, which is highly unlikely.

What ideas? He can't even make it through an interview without stammering and saying something stupid. He has the highest disapproval rate of any candidate, so he will never win the general election no matter which Democrat runs against him.

Looking at the ARG poll, I have a question. You know how you always hear about Trump doing poorly with women in Wisconsin? Why isn't anyone in the media asking why Ted Cruz is doing poorly with men? Only 24% of women say they'll vote for Trump and only 23% of men say they'll vote for Cruz.

If the ARG poll turns out to be right, this is why:

"Sample Size: 400 completed telephone interviews among a random sample of likely Republican primary voters living in Wisconsin (240 self-reported Republicans and 160 self-reported independents and Democrats."

Wisconsin Republican Presidential Primary

Wisconsin is an open primary.

I didn't look at the other Wisconsin polls. Did they include Democrats and Independents in their sample who said they were voting in the Republican primary?

For example, how does someone registered a Democrat vote for Bush? The first time or the second time?

Either you are registered as a Democrat for reasons that don't really align with what the party and its candidates represent, or you voted for Bush for equally confused reasons.

Hard to figure either way from what little clues you offer in your comment about where you stand regarding what either party represents in terms of foreign and/or domestic policy.

I think that sort of "confusion" is also what works in Trump's favor when it comes to a lot of voters who are really just voting dissatisfaction with the status quo, regardless where that dissatisfaction vote takes us.

Before you call someone confused look up crossover voting.


We have a closed primary, independents, 3rd parties cannot vote, when the Pres election is here, we can vote for either party.

What the parties are supposed to represent is not so.

IMHO, what do the candidates/party supposedly represent now? I think the days have gone by where voters stick with their party affiliation, just look at today & the Rep party, changing rules, delegates mess, now Ryan is mentioned. Geez

IMO its about Money and Greed, not a political party affiliation, It should be By the people, For the people.

Perhaps you are the one confused ...

You should take lesson from this.
