Emerson poll is showing Cruz by 1 in Wisconsin, but . . .
. . . Emerson got Iowa wrong by 430%, predicting Trump by 1 when it was Cruz by 3.3.
In New Hampshire Emerson got it wrong by 30%, predicting Trump by 15 when it was Trump by 19.5.
And in South Carolina Emerson got it wrong by 41%, predicting Trump by 17 when it was Trump by 10.

Laugh of the Day: Ted Cruz actually lifted the lines from "The American President"
Here.
Maybe Ted's not as smart as everyone makes him out to be.
Time for Ted to release his transcripts.
Matt Cover thinks Donald Trump is talk radio's Frankenstein
Here, saying Trump is the by-product of an ignorant expectations farce deliberately played on the public by the scheming, self-serving jibber-jabberers Limbaugh, Hannity and Levin:
However, by organizing the GOP base around this fictional system of legislative combat, Movement leaders would lay the groundwork for the ignorant populism of Donald Trump.
Voters, having been told that Congress just lacked strong leaders willing to fight for principle, would flock to a figure who embodied exactly the kind of fiery machismo they had been told was needed.
That's almost amusing, but blindly discounts the "non-ideological" character of the Trump phenomenon's success with the illegal immigration and trade issues. These are conservative issues with a long and storied history but, unfortunately, are not granted legitimacy by today's current crop of so-called conservatives, for whom "principles" and ideology are paramount because they are at heart libertarians, not conservatives.
Trump's immigration and trade crusade may eventually come a cropper, but it won't be because he and the people don't believe in it. It'll be because it has no support from the establishment which runs a "system" organized around antithetical ideas, but also because it has no support from the "anti-establishment" either.
Represented by Limbaugh, Hannity and Levin on the radio, the preferred element of the contemporary demagogue, the anti-establishment has been just as much for open-borders and free-trade as the establishment has been. None of them can even imagine a limited, small American federal government starving from its very beginning on the measly tariffs, excises and land sales with which the founders stuck it. And none in the establishment even wants to.
Laura Ingraham has been waging the lonely battle against illegal immigration almost single-handedly for years on her little radio program in the mornings, with great success, while Michael Savage has had to beat the dead horse for almost twenty-five years as a misunderstood New York Jew.
But the cool thing about 2016 is that New York values are finally getting some respect in the rest of the country for a change, thanks to one Donald John Trump.
"Anti-establishment" talk radio has yet to catch up.
Wake up conservative talk radio: After yesterday, Trump needs just 52.8% of remaining delegates, Cruz 81.8%
And Rush Limbaugh keeps saying, among others, that it ain't over for Cruz.
Explain to us how Cruz goes from winning 30% of delegates so far to 82%.
Tea Party class action against the IRS certified, goes to discovery stage
From the story here:
Certifying the class allows any of the more than 200 groups that were subjected to the criteria to join the lawsuit. But until the IRS complies with the appeals court’s ruling this week, the list of those groups is secret.
Now that the class has been certified, the case moves to the discovery stage, where the tea party groups’ lawyers will ask for all of the agency’s documents related to the targeting and will depose IRS employees about their actions.
The lawyers hope they’ll be able to learn details Congress was unable to shake free in its own investigations.
Caucus system, more or less over after North Dakota on April 1, has been favoring Cruz over Trump 1.5 to 1
I'm counting 148 delegates awarded to Cruz in Iowa, Nevada, Alaska, Minnesota, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Hawaii, Wyoming and Utah.
For Trump I show 99 delegates in Iowa, Nevada, Alaska, Minnesota, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Hawaii, Wyoming and Northern Mariana Islands.
Colorado has 37 delegates yet to be allocated, the US Virgin Islands 9, Wyoming 18 and North Dakota 28.
Hey Ted, you dumbass! Forget Utah, Clinton just beat you like a drum in Arizona!
234,713 to 130,762
But Trump won with 248,383
Ted Cruz accepted Jeb Bush's endorsement as easily as . . .
. . . George Herbert Walker Bush accepted the Democrats' Profile in Courage Award for breaking his 1988 No New Taxes Pledge.
Cruz wins big in Mormon Utah, but Trump still gets more votes in AZ and UT combined than Cruz in UT and AZ combined
Trump: 246,543 + 23,984 = 270,527
Cruz: 118,904 + 129,429 = 248,333 (Cruz actually received more popular votes in Arizona than Utah)

In 2013 Ted Cruz wanted 1.35 million green cards issued per year, 325,000 H-1B visas per year
Plans pushed by GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz under the immigration reform debate in 2013 would have jumped the number of immigrants, including those from Muslim nations, by doubling green card caps and boosting temporary worker visas five-fold.
