It's more complicated than that

Look at the exit polls.

Trump is winning across the spectrum amongst Republicans. Cruz is the one that is dependent on the most Conservative.

they keep saying it, I have no reason to think it's not true but that is the surprise of the cycle for me. - Mel Profit Mar 2, 09:55 6
- Already been done, it's called "authoritarianism" -- (link) - Strongbad Mar 2, 10:05 1
  - I saw that earlier. Maybe that's it but it doesn't feel like it. Maybe I'm entirely wrong. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 2, 10:34
- I think the biggest factor is the people who haven't voted before coming in to vote for him. He's got the angry disenfrachised white people vote sewn - pmb Mar 2, 10:01 2
  - (Except for the angry disenfranchised young white people Bernie has sewn up.) -- nm - Ender Mar 2, 10:48 1
    - they might even vote! -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 2, 10:50
- It's what many years of 8% support for Congress looks like at the polls. -- nm - David Mar 2, 09:57
Trump is winning 40% of the GOP and has upped his ceiling directly at Cruz's expense - sweet baboo Mar 2, 09:50 2
- Trump has won ~34% of the popular vote so far. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 2, 09:54 1
  - maybe on average. most places he's closer to 40%. but it's not Cruz & Rubio splitting the anti-Trump vote. It's Trump & Cruz splitting the anti-Rubio - sweet baboo Mar 2, 10:03
