Scruz teaming up with Kasich as the GOPee bros to take on Trump. Will it effect the poll here?

Much apprecited. (again)
Ted Cruz has officially jumped the shark now by partnering with the Kasich campaign.
Though infuriating, it's a huge sign of weakness in both campaigns. Both campaigns deserve to die ignominious deaths.
However, if they succeed in forcing a contested convention, with the predictable GOPe controlled outcome, the GOP burns and so does the country. There is absolutely no upside to their treachery, and the American People will see that.
They're insane. If Ted Cruz thinks he can steal my vote in any way, shape, or form, he's got another thing coming. He is dead to me.
Vote Trump
I enjoy how Engraved-on-His-hands is able to post his vote for Cruz within seconds after the FR Caucus thread is started.
Now that is wonderful dedication!
After 04/26, Trump will have captured 51.5% of the delegates to that point.
After 04/26, Trump will only need to win 51% of the future delegates.
To heck with the two GOPe progeny.
After 04/26 Cruz will need 128% of the remaining delegates and Kasich will need something like 180-200%.
Even together they can’t keep with up or stop Trump.
There was another person doing that for a while.
I had to post just seconds before the turn of the hour or they would vote prior to the start of the voting day.
I noticed some of those votes were coming as close as eight seconds after my thread started.
No problem.
“...if they succeed in forcing a contested convention, with the predictable GOPe controlled outcome, the GOP burns and so does the country. There is absolutely no upside to their treachery...”
Which begs at least two questions:
1. Are Ted and his team so blinded by unbridled ambition, and so insulated from any and all critical thinking about the calamitous path they’re on, that they’re completely unaware of the catastrophic effects they might bring upon the country?
2. If they are aware of the above, why on earth are they continuing down that path?
“After 04/26 Cruz will need 128% of the remaining delegates and Kasich will need something like 180-200%.”
Hence their decision to team up to try to stop Trump. Cruz and Kasich now know that the American people don’t want them, and that their only hope is to ‘win’ via a convention process that completely bypasses the voters.
What utter fools, to think they’d have any voter support in the general, after having thwarted the will of the people like that.
It just shows how much some of us enjoy voting in the FR caucus!
How can it get any worse for Cruz on FR? I haven’t looked at yesterday’s numbers, but the previous ones had Trump at 89 and Cruz at 10 percent. Cruz has reached the bottom of the barrel of support on here, and anyone still with him is probably Woody Allen levels of neurotic.
Just noticed, they weren’t first tonight.
The person that was has been getting it quite a bit in recent weeks.
Trump has around 855 right now.
Cruz and Kasich combined come in at about 700.
Trump is going to get the lion’s share of the 04/26 primaries.
Ted won’t get much. Kasich either I don’t think.
Trump will have about 980 on 04/27, and the two GOPe progeny will have about 750.
LOL
I’m glad.
