(CBS NEWS) — According to the CBS News Wisconsin Republican primary exit poll: Cruz is running well across many groups of Wisconsin primary voters. He is beating Trump among men and women by about 10 percent, and he is ahead of Trump in all age groups. Trump did less well in Wisconsin among groups of voters who have been his core supporters in previous primaries. Cruz is winning among those with college degrees and among those without. They are about even among those with no more than a high school degree. Cruz does better among more affluent voters but still runs almost even with Trump among those with incomes under $50,000. Cruz runs well among those who said they are “very conservative” as he has in previous primaries, but he also edges out Trump among those who said they are “somewhat conservative.” Trump has generally beat Cruz among those who say they are somewhat conservative. Trump does lead Cruz among political moderates. As many as 34 percent of Republican primary voters say that bringing needed change is the candidate quality that most mattered in their vote decision; Cruz and Trump run neck and neck among these voters. This is better than Cruz has done in previous primaries. Cruz ran well ahead of Trump among voters who said that they want a candidate who shares their values and among those who wanted a candidate who can win in November. Sixty-five percent of Republican primary voters said they were very worried about the direction of the nation’s economy, and Cruz beat Trump among these voters. Seventy percent support a temporary ban on Muslims who are not U.S. citizens entering the country, and Cruz and Trump are very close among this group. Trump does beat Cruz among those who want to deport illegal immigrants who are not U.S. citizens, but only about one in three Republican primary voters support this position. Cruz topped Trump easily among the majority of primary voters who want to offer illegal immigrants a chance to apply for legal status. Trump did very well among the half of Republican primary voters who want the next president to be from outside the political establishment, but he only got 7 percent of the vote of those who prefer the next president to have political experience. The Republican exit poll asked voters, “If no one wins a majority of the delegates before the convention, should the party nominate the candidate with the most votes in the primaries or the candidate who the delegates think would be the best nominee?” More than half, 56 percent, said the party should nominate the candidate with the most votes. Another 42 percent said it should be the candidate who the delegates think would be the best nominee. However, this varied widely between Trump and Cruz voters. As many as 83 percent of Trump voters said the nominee should be the candidate who won the most votes in the primaries. Among Cruz supporters, 56 percent said it should be the best nominee, and 42 percent said it should be the candidate with the most votes.

Whatever the merits of Cruz, I would say this is a demo of just how powerful Scott Walker is with GOP voters in Wisconsin. They've stood with him steadily from the start. Cruz owes this victory to Walker. As much as endorsements do not often matter, this one really did, as did having a friendly and powerful governor on the ground putting his campaign machine at Cruz's disposal. Other minor helps for Cruz is Priebus is from WI and so is Speaker Ryan (who Trump badmouthed in his hometown, Janesville). A crowd of Trump's crackpots cheered him for that but it could not have played well with the WI GOP voters at large. Wisconsin GOP voters are rightly proud of the power of the state GOP they've built up and its major role in national GOP politics. I'm not sure if Walker is interested but this could signal a cabinet position for him, certainly consideration on the Cruz VP short list. Kasich is better positioned than Walker for VP. So is Rubio who is carefully guarding his 170+ delegates to keep them bound to him until the convention when he could release them and urge them to vote for Cruz so he could become VP (or SoS or SoD). Kasich is the guy Cruz would want as VP to run against Hitlery (and carry indispensable Ohio) but Rubio is the guy that Cruz may not be able to win the nomination without.
Didn't I post the YouTube clip of that? Trump simply mentioned Paul Ryan's name and the crowd booed. You need that posted again? How many times will you post that lie?
Doesn't matter. Whether it's Trump or the kinds of supporters he draws, the offensiveness to the average WI GOP voter and to GOP voters in general is already established. You don't get to just wish it away. There have been some elements at Trump's rallies that almost seem like plants for the Dems or perhaps agitators trying to make Trump look bad. The Bernie crowd would be likely suspects in WI.
The truth doesn't matter or your lies don't matter? "the offensiveness to the average WI GOP voter" Think they're offended now? Wait until President Trump removes that 45% protective tariff on foreign motorcycles.
Pick one. Like I care. Or anyone else cares about a few posts by anyone here at LF. You greatly overestimate the impact of a chat room like LF.
I see. You're saying if LF was a bigger forum, you'd tell the truth.

No. If you weren't such an r'tard, you'd realize I was saying that it simply does not matter what anyone posts on a chat forum with ~20 regular posters and ~20 irregular posters and (probably) even fewer lurkers. It used to be that at TOS, you might lurk around over at LP to pick up good stories or to have a wider variety of stories than RimJob would allow on TOS. I don't think LF has any comparable number of lurkers coming here from TOS. And only a handful of posters are registered and posting on both forums. LF is a little South Pacific island, full of cannibals. : )
