I think there’s a shift in the race. I think Trump was always ahead but Cruz was always a solid second. Now he’s dropping. I think it’s for 3 reasons, 1) New York values and his stupid trip to the Bronx, 2) His joining the GOP to steal delegates and 3) Colorado.

Just my opinion but it seems that way to me.

Cruz isn't falling so much as he's bouncing along at his rock bottom. These are his hardcore supporters who will never give up, at least not as long as Ted hasn't given up.

You’re correct on all points.

I think you pretty well nailed it. There is always a danger in reading your own press. Coming off the Wisconsin win, with two weeks to fortify, Cruz started believing that what was done in back rooms was the actual sentiment of the nation. He totally misread this.

If someone in the Cruz camp would have been monitoring the Free Republic 2016 Caucus, they could have told him nothing changed after Wisconsin. But, too late now.
