Cruz zooming, Trump collapsing in Utah... Cruz: 53 Kasich: 29 Trump: 11

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has zoomed to a commanding lead in Utah's GOP caucuses, according to a new poll released Saturday. It also gave a glimpse into how frustrated the state's Republicans are with Donald Trump's candidacy.

The Y2 Analytics survey shows Cruz with 53 percent support among likely Republican caucus-goes and if that matches Tuesday's caucus vote, he'd win all of the state's 40 GOP delegates.

Coming in second is Ohio Gov. John Kasich with 29 percent, while Trump, the national front-runner, was a distant third at 11 percent.

13. I believe you should investigate Cruz's beliefs/background more thoroughly.

Where T-Rump has populist bully bluster and thunder, Cruz has true dominionist/crush non-believers with the holy-hand-of god/I-am-chosen-and-sent-by-god-to-destroy-american-non-believers (literally), a mythology that he is the one chosen by god to lead the government that has been told to him since childhood and that he believes.

Scarier by an order of magnitude than a dumbass like T-Rump.

It's about who loves Jesus the most there. And they love tax cuts so they can tithe more. Taylor made for Cruz to win.

9. Yes, that's true but I suspect Trump thought he would do better than 11%.
