Yes, but without polls, what would we have to argue about and sell more advertising?? Polls and "debates" are the only way to turn political events into an entertainment venue for advertising.
Polls mean nothing. They never have. They are meaningless and questionable data points to entertain ourselves with, that is all.
The polls having Cruz winning have two problems. One they show Cruz's margin much smaller than the sampling error. Number 2 is that we do not elect by popular vote. We have that electoral college thing. Hillary has more states that she can count on than does Cruz. Cruz can't even count on sweeping the south. He has no hope on the west coast and little hope in the Northeast. That means he nearly has to sweep the south, Midwest, and the rural western states. I would bet that doesn't happen. I would bet good money that Hillary would beat Cruz unless she is indicted before the election, which I doubt will happen.
The commentator has a point.
Maybe if people stayed away from the polls en masse, it might send a message that none of the choices were palatable.
Decisions, decisions
If there is no majority on the first ballot at the convention, they should just drop the bottom candidate and have another ballot, repeat as necessary until one candidate gets a majority.
No new candidates introduced. Leave it to the elected delegates.
Completely agree. However, I would be very curious to hear what you believe they should have done?
Funny how Trump doesn't win in "caucus" states.

Carly seems to get it.
If you're retired at 68 years old with a net worth of $250 million, do you really have handlers? I don't think so.
Trump fits the Buchanan mold, but without the conservative bona fides that Buchanan has.
I think Buchanan is projecting his conservatism onto Trump. I don't think it will work.
It is this fanaticism — this complete unwillingness to change their policy or even to debate the possibility of serious change — that has put us in the position we are today.
But I do not see how things can go on as they are now. I do not see how you can ask the working-class people of this country to support a collection of policies that have failed them over and over and over.
Even today, with the fate of the party at stake, their only argument is to attack Trump and his supporters, to call them stupid, and racist, nativist, and isolationist and every other epithet they can lift from the editorial pages of the New York Times and the Washington Post.
In the end, they have left the opponents of the status quo no choice — they must either defeat Rubio, and radically change the power structure of the GOP, or they must watch Obama's immigration policy, Obama's trade policy, Bush’s foreign policy, and Bush’s economic policy, be implemented.
On Tuesday, we’ll know how the voters react to those alternatives.
As crazy as Henning is----Banning him just made no sense. It appears he just upset the wrong person on the MC though. What a crock that they won't disclose the exact reasons for banning folks.
