Cruz surrogate: Trump is winning because former Obama voters have switched to him.

Trump is not rallying a “silent majority.” Instead, Democrats are losing voters while Republicans are gaining from that loss. So these aren’t new voters, but rather the migration of a herd of messiah-seeking voters from Obama to Trump. The end result will be the banishment of whatever shred of conservatism the GOP still clings to if Trump is the nominee. The irony of this migration is that these voters are doing to the GOP what they complain unchecked immigration has done to America—define down its values while abandoning its traditions.

Sure.
Let's "otherize" the Trump-voters.
"You are not real Republicans! Just like Obama isn't a real American!"

Let's see how that works.

1. Well, that's a REAL stretch,

but these guys just say anything they want.

The sad thing is that very few in our stellar M$M ever challenge them, so they become even more outrageous.

2. Ted Cruz is such a horrible human being that voters prefer Trump to him.

that's saying a lot about how truly horrible a human being Ted Cruz is.

3. Yes, Because All Those KKK People Voted for President Obama

Apparently, this guy has not looked at polls of Trump voters. They are not people likely to vote for President Obama. Most of the people voting for Trump do not like President Obama, or his policies. Most of Trump supporters are people who think the Republican Party has not gone far enough in going after President Obama.

It seems he has also failed to look at the total number of votes casted in this election. For all this talk about Donald Trump bringing in so many new people to the voting process, Hillary Clinton has about 1 million-3 million more votes than Donald Trump. When that is pointed out Donald Trump claims Hillary Clinton only has more votes than him because she has only one opponent and he has two opponents. However, according to the numbers I saw, Bernie Sanders has more votes than Ted Cruz and John Kasich combined.
