The ship may be turning… A few more rallies with Mexican thugs beating up Trump supporters could go a long way toward making America great again. You may remember the protests in 2006 where Spanish language radio got a million protestors waving Mexican flags in Los Angeles and the resulting backlash.<\/p>\n
A guest on John Batchelor said Indiana has special rules \/ laws? that make it difficult to do election polling, so there hasn’t been a reliable poll until today (for the Tuesday election).<\/p>\n
Indiana is not a “safe state” for either party – Barack Obama carried the state in 2008 and Mitt Romney won in 2012, but only with 54%. The Republican Governor of Indiana gave a tepid “endorsement” of Ted Cruz a few days ago.<\/p>\n
It was believed that Trump was leading in Indiana, but not by enough to be sure. 27 of the 57 delegates are bound by Congressional district (3×9) and 30 are winner take all at the state level. Note Indiana isn’t electing anyone on Tuesday – the delegates going to Cleveland were selected two weeks ago – the only thing the election does is bind the delegates to the winners for the first ballot.<\/p>\n
NBC\/WSJ poll<\/a><\/p>\n On the Republican side, registered voters vs likely voters show little difference. On the Democratic side, Sanders supporters are much less likely to actually vote.<\/p>\n Trump (49%) now has a +15% lead over Cruz (34%) and a 36% lead over Kasich. The Cruz \/ Kasich “deal” to cooperate against Trump really backfired based on the questions they asked.<\/p>\n More interesting is the general election. Republicans lead in every combination except that Sanders would defeat Cruz. Trump leads Hillary by 7%. Kasich vs Clinton has Kasich winning by 19%. At least some Democrats would vote for Kasich rather than the third term of Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n At the point people start to believe Trump can win in November, things get much more dangerous. Cinco de Mayo is this week. I wonder what Trump is planning to do. <\/p>\n And happy International Socialist Workers Day, comrades!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The ship may be turning… A few more rallies with Mexican thugs beating up Trump supporters could go a long way toward making America great again.
