Here is the latest polling average: Cruz stands to clobber Trump tomorrow in Utah. Three Utah Morman missionary's seriously injured in Belgium By Islamic terrorist ! Might make all the difference in the world today! Where is your president. At a ball game in a communist country ! The most traveled securtary of state , two losers you deserve.

Obama and Kerry planned the Brussels bombing so there was no need for them to be here in the U.S. today.

Obama and Kerry knew about the planned bombings and should have planned today's activities wiser?

I am reminded of McCain in 2008 suspending his presidential campaign, flying back to DC to deal with the financial crisis, and the picture of him in his DC residence talking to someone on the phone working on solutions. Modern communication systems allow the President to do his job no matter where on the planet his body is located.

I don't know, maybe the POTUS and secretary of state should be continually at their desk with one hand on the red phone 100% of the time? Better take your mobile red phone into the crapper if nature calls?
George Bush was reading stories to kids in Florida when the first plane hit the tower on 911. I don't remember anyone criticizing him for being at an event encouraging kids to read rather than having ESP so that he could be on Wall Street with a surface to air weapon ready to take that plane down before it hit the tower.

To nitpick at that level requires padding on one's belly.

Trump thumped Cruz in Arizona and picks up 58 delegates. Cruz thumped Trump in Idaho, and is likely to get 40 delegates out of it. this puts The Donald even further behind trend. my odds of a brokered convention remain at 60%

There is an old stupid baseball phrase used by Hawk Harrelson of the Chicago White Sox. PUT IT ON THE BOARD..........YES! after a home run by the home team. The race is over after Jeb Bush backed Ted Cruz this morning. Lindsey Grahmn Mitt "the loser" Romney Jeb! "low energy" Bush All have now endorsed Cruz as their candidate. A man they truly despise. Cruz is now officially the Republican establishment candidate. They believe, they believe, as hard as they try, but this was The kiss of death. Cable networks were pledging Cruz will win Wisconsin. Truly they do not believe that? Can we please have the official Chicago White Sox theme song on the organ from Nancy Faust? HEY HEY, NAH, NAH, NAH, SO LONG, GOODBYE.....after the opposing pitcher is relieved. or something like that....... Put it on the board......Yes! All Trump has to do in the next two weeks is hang the establishment candidate label on Cruz and keep going on the war on terror, and it is done.

I'll take the average of you gentlemen's estimates: 30% odds of a brokered convention.

Poor Sen. Cruz. He won't know what hit him.

I know you are not a betting man, but your odds are 30% off Actually 100% off Curiously, my actual odds would be about 30%, based on the NYT simulation I posted. Now, I will grant you that Jeb!'s endorsement will hurt Sen. Cruz. The poor men just. don't. get. why Mr. Trump is so popular. Also, the bombings in Belgium can't possibly hurt Mr. Trump either. But his winning the nomination outright is still far from a sure thing.

The poor men just don't live in the real world. They really don't. Certainly Mr. Bush doesn't.
Neither does Mr. Trump, but the demagogue at least understands why the common guy is so teed off. Mr. Bush does not. nor do they want to. they want to live in a republican world, where they are still relevant. and they are fighting tooth and nail for it.

Trump thumped Cruz in Arizona and picks up 58 delegates. Cruz thumped Trump in Idaho, and is likely to get 40 delegates out of it. this puts The Donald even further behind trend. my odds of a brokered convention remain at 60% Trump garnered over 58% of the available delegates last night. Mission accomplished. That was all he needed to maintain his path to the nomination. My odds of a brokered convention remain at 0 percent. That's if the delegates he got remain "faithful"through the whole entire process. Since he does't have the magic number to guarantee the nomination, he could lose on second or third votes at the convention (where delegates become "unbound" and can vote as they see fit). It won't be good for the party if he does lose at this point... but it still could happen.

VERY interesting polling today. this is amazing:
Trump 43 +13 Cruz 30 +11 Kasich 19
ok, so here we see something really interesting, imo. a few interesting things.
first of all, let me acknowledge and congratulate Trump, who has indeed gone up about another 10% since "everyone" got out of the race other than these three.
secondly, let me acknowledge and congratulate Kasich, who has also gone up about 10% since "everyone" got out of the race other than these three.
but finally, this is spectacularly good news for Cruz. for the 3rd and 4th time in the last NINE polls, he is within single digits of Trump, but that is not where the good news ends. and the good news doesn't end with him breaking 30% on average for the first time- only the second candidate to do that this cycle (and, like Kasich and Trump, a 10% gain in the last (3) weeks. no, the spectacularly good news is that he got 38% in the latest poll- which is far more support than i would have ever believed possible.
i have already pontificated about Trump's chances for the nomination, so i am not going to double down on that now. instead, i will just say that my 60% chance that he won't have enough delegates in mid-June just got a lot more support.

The 38% was from a fox poll, and let's not forget, Fox is still trying to bring Trump down. Since you mentioned their poll, please look at the Monmouth poll. I think they have been rather accurate in their polling for the most part, where Fox has been all over the board. Frankly I was more concerned over the Wisconsin poll released that shows Cruz up over Trump, AND it looks like Governor Walker is backing Cruz based on his latest statement, even though he did not officially endorse him.
