What kind of voter?

She was a registered Republican. And not batshit crazy.

 

[Basileus777]

His response on 538 was to this exact question:

"Dave, what would force Cruz out?"

And then clarified afterward that he didn't mean that Cruz would drop out.

 

[Avon Barksdale]

Media loves Rubio. They've done the same thing in Iowa and NH.

He's the Roman Reigns of the GOP.

 

[User 406]

I guess we'll never see what pixel Jeb, Kasich, and Carson look like.

 

[Plinko]

And then clarified afterward that he didn't mean that Cruz would drop out.

He says he thinks it is Rubio v. Trump "regardless of what Cruz does," which makes zero sense if Cruz stays in the race. He still siphons those votes.

 

[Brawndo Addict]

With Jeb's votes Rubio doesn't beat Trump. But he does with Kasich's too. I think Kasich will be heavily pressured to drop out by the establishment to allow Rubio the space to actually take a win.

 

[Teggy]

Every single candidate says they made history in their speech...

Only .2 percentage points between Rubio/Cruz with 93.7%

 

[Roland_Gunner]

I know we shit on politico all the time, but man do they deserve it. Right now Cruz is .3% behind Rubio and he just a crushing defeat?

[PopcornMegaphone]

Guys, Cruz made history tonight

 

[Y2Kev]

Seriously, Mark Sanford endorsed cruz? lol

 

[FloydtheFathead]

He eventually tuned on Cruz after being buddy buddy with him for ages. I don't see why he wouldn't do the same to Rubio if he becomes a threat.

I meant will Rubio actually threaten to is all. He would if Rubio were a threat, I do agree.

 

[Touchdown]

With Jeb's votes Rubio doesn't beat Trump. But he does with Kasich's too. I think Kasich will be heavily pressured to drop out by the establishment to allow Rubio the space to actually take a win.

Now that I think about it... Why HASN'T Kasich dropped out yet?

 

[Y2Kev]

Defying expectations? Lol fuck off cruz you douche.

 

[shinra-bansho]

If you look at it by county, Rubio + Jeb > Trump or close to him in several of them, similarly Rubio + Kasich. Without those two, he would have taken the overall. So I could see it getting competitive as more players drop.

But it might be too late.

And that probably also relies on Cruz staying in.

 

[BoboBrazil]

He's the Roman Reigns of the GOP.

That must make Cruz Sheamus and Trump HHH.

 

[Basileus777]

He says he thinks it is Rubio v. Trump "regardless of what Cruz does," which makes zero sense if Cruz stays in the race. He still siphons those votes.

He thinks those two are the only two candidates that could win, Cruz will remain in the race as a spoiler. Or that's how I interpreted it.

 

[Holmes]

I guess we'll never see what pixel Jeb, Kasich, and Carson look like.

 

[PBY]

TRUMP WON???? We out here fam

Fuck a Robot trump let's get it we outchea

 

[User 406]

Now that I think about it... Why HASN'T Kasich dropped out yet?

Ohio. Maybe if he gets a sizable enough chunk of delegates he can negotiate a VP/cabinet spot.

 

[Touchdown]

Ohio. Maybe if he gets a sizable enough chunk of delegates he can negotiate a VP/cabinet spot.

aha, this makes sense.

 

[Muzy72]

Where would Cruz voters go if he dropped out? Who does he hurt more by staying in?

 

[User 406]

EHRMAGHERD

Why didn't I think of looking at the page source! XD

 

[PBY]

TRUMPDAGAWD

 

[Teggy]

Or, Ted, perhaps it will be decided by Obama and the Senate if they actually do their job?

And Ted just called Hillary a Socialist. And said that they would get rid of the 2nd Amendment. Keep being a big fat dick Ted.

 

[Diablos]

.1%

 

[Y2Kev]

COME ON CRUZ!!!!

 

[PBY]

Honestly tho is Trump gang winning I'm highkey shook are wee good fam?????

 

[Holmes]

The precincts that are left are in ones that Cruz is in second.

 

[Jarmel]

Where would Cruz voters go if he dropped out? Who does he hurt more by staying in?

That's unclear. Possibly Trump.

 

[Dominican Power]

TrusTed? lulz

Jeb drops:

Only 19% of Jeb's voters go to Rubio. Kasich gets 16%, which likely prolongs his stay in the race. Trump gets 11%.

Carson drops:

Cruz gets 24% of Carson's voters, Trump gets 22%. Rubio gets 16%.

Cruz drops:

If Cruz drops, Rubio gets 33% and Trump gets 26%.

I have to be honest here--I'm still not seeing these situations overwhelmingly benefit Rubio.

 

[Y2Kev]

Cruz has 0 class, lol.

 

[Aaron Strife]

(Rubio wins literally nothing)

Media: omg Rubiomentum

 

[Diablos]

It's a tie. If Cruz is smart he will remind voters of that at every turn.

No one won but Trump.

 

[PBY]

GOOD OR BAD NIGHT FOR TRump!?

 

[Iolo]

Can Cruz close the gap of 950 votes??

 

[Y2Kev]

(Rubio wins literally nothing)

Media: omg Rubiomentum

The media is not our friend. COME ON CRUZ!!!!!!

 

[HylianTom]

Can Cruz close the gap of 950 votes??

Kornacki from MSNBC says that outstanding districts are Cruz-friendly; there's a good shot.

 

[Officerrob]

So what is the first state Rubio is going to win?

 

[Wilsongt]

So only 5 GOP remain... Giggity.

 

[PBY]

Guys pls is trump gang ok

 

[User 463088]

GOOD OR BAD NIGHT FOR TRump!?

Great. it looks like he'll get all 50 delegates from a proportional primary.

My liver hurts. I been sipping on the drank since 4:00 lol

 

[Brawndo Addict]

Cruz is the conditional making a Rubio win possible, it's the only way Trump stays within striking distance. We talk about giving Rubio all of the Jeb/Kasich votes, but what happens when Carson drops out and Trump gets half or more? Suddenly it's out of reach for Rubio despite absorbing all the establishment. And if Cruz did drop out, well, Trump becomes unassailable. The anti-establishment vote is the majority.

 

[Holmes]

Can Cruz close the gap of 950 votes??

I don't think so, but he might close the gap a little more.

 

[Teggy]

The Trump-Cruz shitshow for the next few weeks is going to be epic.

 

[Tamanon]

So what is the first state Rubio is going to win?

Denial

 

[Jarmel]

GOOD OR BAD NIGHT FOR TRump!?

Well sorta bad night due to Bush dropping out.

 

[PBY]

Great. it looks like he'll get all 50 delegates from a proportional primary.

[Y2Kev]

He has got to ignore this waste (and fat mess) and go after Rubio.
