Berniebros pushed the Bernie DNOM Yes from 10 cents to 16 cents, will it go higher after the next round of states?

If they got money to waste it's worth trying to catch a low since he has a good chance on doing well next week, they'll probably push it to 30 by the end of the weekend

Or you could wait for Hillary nom to go low and get on that, unless you're worried she won't get it.

You do know there has been a ton of early voting and, by all accounts, it heavily favors Trump.

Are there numbers on the early voting? Unless a bunch of people wasted votes on Rubio I'm not sure how it specifically favors Trump, who hasn't enjoyed the support in polling in Arizona as he has in most of the States he won with a solid margin.

The scale on this graph is hilariously misleading but the numbers are accurate. The early vote numbers are from Wednesday - meaning almost all of them were cast when Rubio was still in the race (and the most recent poll had Rubio at 16%).

Statewide, early voting through 3/16 was over half of the total vote in the 2012 primary, while Maricopa county turnout was already at 75% of 2012 levels. Aside from being the largest county, Maricopa is also notable because Trump endorser Sheriff Joe Arpaio runs a strong political operation there.

Winning every poll since january by double digits is not good polling support, lmbo you are being dumb about this.

e/ compare with illinois polls, which were fairly close leading up, yet he won there without issue. Why illinois? Because where the gently caress do you think conservatives in az came from?

I don't think anyone is saying Trump will lose AZ - but essentially 90 - 10? No way. Especially not with 30% undecided. I can't see Cruz dropping much further, but a new poll could help boost Cruz in the market. (And then always the madness of actual primary day.)

Boy, won’t you have egg on your face when I’m the nominee.

It’s more likely than Bloomberg

e: The way I see it, Cruz is less likely than Kasich.

Cruz can’t beat Trump outright, and if the establishment screws Trump out of the nomination, they might as well go all the way.

I know that various GOPe figures have been talking up Cruz, but they’re only doing that because they would very much like Trump to get less than 50% of the vote and the only way that happens is if Cruz does well. When it comes down to it, party leadership would rather take their chances with Trump than with Cruz.

Trump has consistently underperformed his polls by anywhere from 5% to 20%. Late deciders have generally gone against him by some absurd ratio. This isn't news for most people.

If they go brokered their best bet is giving it to Cruz. They're probably going to get get crushed either way at that point, so might as well throw in a guy who isn't going to ignite the general populace's desire to vote against them and thus have a chance at saving the down ballot. Also, whoever steals the nomination from Trump is going to be hated for losing the election after stealing it. If they pin that poo poo on an establishment guy there's no way in hell they get on nominated next time. However if they pin it on Cruz, well then Trump gets stumped and Cruz is destroyed nationally. Overthrowing Trump and installing Cruz lets them gently caress both those guys.

He's a conservative horror show, but he's smart enough to phrase his hate without the bombastic attention grabbing style of Trump. Ted Cruz will happily gently caress over a larger portion of the populace that Trump, but Trump is far more noticeable about his attempt.

Donald Trump is the type of serial killer writing into the media and taunting the police. Ted Cruz is the serial killer who keeps his head down and wracks up dozens of kills before the police even know he exists. Ted got all that attention grabbing poo poo out of his system back in California.

Someone said it a few days ago, if not only SuperPACs but the Cruz campaign are dumping money into winner-take-all AZ, 90/10 is overvalued for Trump.

Ehh. I rethought my position a bit. With early voting and the protests? I don't know. I agree that this shouldn't be 90-10, not at all. But I wouldn't be surprised if we see it drop a few cents further on day of. Early returns that night seem like they would favor Trump, with early votes. If you're gonna jump in, I might suggest buying then and maybe waiting out a potential (keyword!) swing. Do we know what counties Cruz might do best in?

Is Arizona open or closed primary? If it's open, it would be interesting to see if a lot of anti-Trump crossover votes end up hurting Bernie's chances there, as those kind of wild-swing independents are more his demo than Hill-dawg's.

Also early votes are included in the count immediately upon polls closing. So this Cruz spike may not happen unless we get an AZ poll tomorrow or Monday.
