Cruz zooming, Trump collapsing in Utah... Cruz: 53 Kasich: 29 Trump: 11

[DCBob]

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has zoomed to a commanding lead in Utah's GOP caucuses, according to a new poll released Saturday. It also gave a glimpse into how frustrated the state's Republicans are with Donald Trump's candidacy.

The Y2 Analytics survey shows Cruz with 53 percent support among likely Republican caucus-goes and if that matches Tuesday's caucus vote, he'd win all of the state's 40 GOP delegates.

Coming in second is Ohio Gov. John Kasich with 29 percent, while Trump, the national front-runner, was a distant third at 11 percent.

1. Oh gawd, Cruz is just as bad as T-rump and Kasich

Cruz - religious fanatic
T-rump - cold
Kasich - the silent one

UGH, the GOP line up is fucked -up.

5. But they has the bestest n strongest group of peoples running for president!

Or so many GOP media types were telling us.

[DCBob]

6. Yeah, except Cruz is more predictable and a bit less offensive than Trump.

I am hopeful we dont have to see and hear that moron all the way to November. We can beat Cruz.

13. I believe you should investigate Cruz's beliefs/background more thoroughly.

Where T-Rump has populist bully bluster and thunder, Cruz has true dominionist/crush non-believers with the holy-hand-of god/I-am-chosen-and-sent-by-god-to-destroy-american-non-believers (literally), a mythology that he is the one chosen by god to lead the government that has been told to him since childhood and that he believes.

Scarier by an order of magnitude than a dumbass like T-Rump.

16. He's a psycho for sure.

Just not as vulgar and vile as Trump.

2. Donted Truz is a horrific choice.

3. Creepy one or creepy two. Makes no difference to me.

[DCBob]

8. I agree except Trump is the most vile vulgar ignorant candidate ever to run for President.

I will be pleased to to see his face and voice removed from my TV screen.

[applegrove]

11. I think Cruz is the more malignant one. Trump could tank world markets.

4. Utah is not a good state for Trump

It's about who loves Jesus the most there. And they love tax cuts so they can tithe more. Taylor made for Cruz to win.

[DCBob]

9. Yes, that's true but I suspect Trump thought he would do better than 11%.

That's a total wipeout.

10. Mittens?

I would think that rMoney's denunciation of tRump would carry a lot of weight in Utah.

[DCBob]

14. Yes, no doubt and also Trump's insult back.

Still 11% is almost nothing.

7. Lemme see, a state full of religious people backing the guy who thinks he's the messiah...

Sounds about right to me.

I expect trump to announce that he too is wearing Magic Underwear in an attempt to woo them.

[Brother Buzz]

12. The state is full of religious people who are conditioned to follow, come Hell or high water...

and their Political Grand Puba, Mitt Romney just basically endorsed Ted Cruz; independent freethinking is not their strong suit.

[longship]

15. He's got HU-U-UGE magic underwear! nt
