A question for Trump supporters:

If Trump is unable to ever secure a majority of the delegates to the Convention, how can he be a winner?

If Trump can’t figure out the primary process and win it, should he lead the country? No.

If Ted Cruz can win the nomination by stopping a Democrat that should be good preparation for November.

Cruz can’t win. Period. He has absolutely NO appeal outside of a very narrow segment of conservatives. He’ll get no support from anyone else. Hillary will win a 49-50 state landslide.

As a Cruzer - let me say this is a good question.

And the answer goes to the lack of popularity for either Trump or Cruz.

Candidates only win when they have the SUPPORT of their voters. Example: We all voted for McCain. Romney too. But we held our nose as we did so.

That - my friend is a sure ticket to Loserville. We didn’t support either of those two goons, and the majority of Repubs will not support Ted or Trump in the fall. We may vote for one of them. But it won’t help.

See tagline.

IMHO, Cruz is now a stalking horse. Once his “supporters” like Jeb and Lindsay have stopped Trump, the GOPe will put in someone whom they want. It will not be Trump (who threatens their power) or Cruz (whom they dislike intensely).

At this point Trump has won about a third of the GOP vote. Cruz has won about 28%. That leaves about 45% that have so far gone to candidates other than Trump or Cruz. And we are still not done getting all the votes yet.

The difference between Trump and Cruz is about 8% of the GOP or about 4% of the total voters. Tell me how Trump can win on a difference of 4% or with only 37% of the GOP?

So now for the insults I normally get because I have a different view on things.

He won’t beat Hillary.
Everybody knows this.
He’s running as Pastor in Chief, and everyone who has sympathy for gay marriage will vote Hillary en masse to keep him from selecting the next one or two Supreme Court justices.

Fact.

A win is a win and a primary isn’t a general election.

A question back to you: If Trump fails to make it to 1237, why should he be awarded the nomination?

I have a question for Trump and Cruz supporters, If there continues to be ridiculous, petty and hateful attacks on the candidates and their supporters(not talking about your post LesDowery) how can we expect full support be given to the nominee so that the demonrats are defeated?

I am all for valid information that gives a person what is needed to make an informed decision, but the attacks are enough to make want to just walk away from the whole mess.

I think stopping Trump would be a tremendous win for the country.

If Trump were to win the GOP Nomination on the 2nd ballot or further down the line, he will have won the GOP nomination based on STOPPING the GOP, not SUPPORTING Trump. That’s not really a great way to win is it?

Whatever it takes to win.

Besides, people who don’t vote for Ted Cruz hate Jesus and America.

My question for Cruz supporters is, once he takes down the Donald, how will they react when the establishment comes after him? The establishment doesn’t like him any more than they do Trump, and they are using him for the moment, fine and dandy. I find it hard to believe that they will get behind Cruz. I really don’t see it happening.

Trumpeters: Donald Trump is the front-runner and can secure a win on the first ballot by doing well in the remaining contests (and possibly also by appealing to some of the unbound delegates). He’s had a bad couple weeks, and his lead has narrowed somewhat, but the next few contests are in the northeast where he has the advantage. Then, the contests shift to the west coast. Everybody gets a turn and the Fat Lady hasn’t sung yet. Let me tell you Trumpeters something about power. Nobody gives you power. Real power is something you take.

One reason I would still support Cruz (as it sits today) are these polls. These polls show Cruz having a better chance of winning.

Ill vote for Cruz or Trump, I want to beat Hillary.

(General Election: Trump vs. Clinton) Cinton +10.4

(General Election: Cruz vs. Clinton)Clinton +2.8
