lorida Atlantic University public opinion poll released Saturday showed Donald Trump with 44 percent of the vote and Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz with 21 percent each. With the primary just days away, 5 percent of Florida Republicans still hadn't made up their minds.
If the numbers hold through Tuesday's primary, the billionaire businessman and part-time Palm Beach resident would win all of Florida's 99 nominating delegates in the winner-take-all primary.
If Rubio, Florida's junior U.S. senator, fares as poorly in actual votes in his home state as the poll indicates, it would be a devastating blow to his presidential hopes. If Cruz, a senator from Texas, finishes even with Rubio, that could boost his argument that he's the best alternative to Trump.

(13,081 posts)His voters fell all over themselves to say that he was essentially a high-functioning moron, but he was "strong." That's all anyone cared about. It was insane.
That's what Trump keeps ranting on about ("making America great again!" and these dumb-asses haven't made a political decision based on anything other than horrifically-dysfunctional emotions since at least the Reagan administration.
