Rubio: Most GOP voters still don’t want Trump

They bought the line from Beltway pundits that Trump could never win and arrogantly believed voters would “come to their senses” and unite behind a Trump alternative.

“I love the poorly-educated”, Trump declared in his victory speech. Have a good time. We won with old.

The candidates were fanning out to their next targets of opportunity as the lights went out in Las Vegas: Trump was campaigning Wednesday in Virginia, then on to Texas and Oklahoma.

With the incredibly important Super Tuesday primaries just days away, all of the GOP candidates will be looking to deliver strong performances that show voters they have what it takes to be commander in chief. We’re the smartest people. “We might not even need two months, folks, to be honest”.

Trump, who has leveled his harshest attacks against Cruz, once again knocked the Texan on Wednesday, saying Cruz is “changing his stance” on immigration to better compete with Trump, who has struck the harshest tone and some of the most hardline positions on illegal immigration.

The other states are Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Vermont, and Virginia.

Mr Trump had big leads among all groups of voters, regardless of age, gender, race, religion, education or income.

The businessman ran through a list of campaign promises, including taking care of veterans and scrapping Barack Obama’s healthcare law. This is a nation made up of people who scratch and claw to move ahead and improve their lives.

He later warned to keep an eye out for “dishonest stuff” at their caucus sites – claiming fraud could cost him the election.

“‘Cause I’ll tell you what, a lot of dishonesty with this”.

A smaller field of Republican presidential candidates will meet in Houston Thursday for the party’s 10th debate of the campaign season.

Trump captured evangelical voters over Cruz in SC this past Saturday.

Cruz, a conservative popular among voters on the GOP’s right, finished a disappointing third in SC after spending much of the past two weeks denying charges of dishonest campaign tactics and defending his integrity. The powers that be assumed that as candidates continued to drop out of the race – especially other mainstream candidates like former Florida Governor Jeb Bush – Rubio’s vote tallies would get higher.

“There is still time for the non-Trump GOP majority to coalesce around a single candidate, but not much”, George W. Bush’s former strategist Karl Rove wrote this week in the Wall Street Journal.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz gets 12 percent, Ohio Gov. John Kasich 7 percent and retired neurosurgeon and West Palm Beach resident Ben Carson 4 percent in the poll.
