Amazing, isn’t it, how much vitriol you receive when you offer a reasonable and supportive comment for your preferred candidate?
Use your CommonCore math, skeeter, what percentage of the primary voting community has voted for someone else other than CRUZ?
He's billed as a purist outsider that the establishment fears to their very core. With one wave of his Dominionist magic wand, he will abolish the IRS, shut down the DOE, shred the agreement with Iran, and overturn Obamacare. If he's as hated as he claims, I don't know how he expects to accomplish anything in cooperation with Congress.
Otherwise, what is wrong with what I said? Do we ignore those 63%? And why do you suppose primary rule for YEARS have had a delegate threshold for qualification for the nomination?
The cRUUUUSE knows it too, that he is handing the election to Hillary.
He is clinically ambitious, served less than one damn term in the US Senate, launches the bid for prez, after using TEXAS to catapult his sorry butt, did some pony tricks in the senate that accomplished zippo, nada, played tiddly winks with the GANG OF EIGHT and finds his genius self getting his hat handed to him by the only real change agent in the damn race— Donald TRUMP.
cRUSE is exposed as a globalist, can’t hide it, so is willing to team up with them to fiddle with the numbers and the delegates to kill off our change agent.
cRUSE is a loser, with family problems.
And you Cruz folks need to keep in mind that 80% have voted for someone other than Cruz. So there’s that to keep in mind.
The best case scenario for Cruz is that he manages to win Utah outright. In that case he needs 96% of the remaining delegates to win. After Wisconsin, that goes to 99.9%, and he’s mathematically eliminated after New York.
He probably should have dropped out on Wednesday, but if he waits another 2 weeks he’s done. All he can be is a spoiler. You know what that gets you? The Full Rubio, and a one way ticket to a cushy political consultant job.
I think Cruz will likely win UT. First Cruz does better in caucuses than elections, and Bishop Romney’s endorsement will help him get the LDS vote. The question is by how much? If Cruz gets over 50% he gets all 40 delegates. If he gets less and Trump gets at least 20% it’s some kind of split.
How do you come to that conclusion?
He's going for the most delegates.
Yeah, but then Cruz isn't promising 'really bad things' if he doesn't get the nomination. Is he.
I think that's what they call a running start into a brick wall.
Not supporting our leading pro-America candidate emerging from the convention when our nation is facing the grave risk of another America-hating, constitution-hating, capitalism-hating, God-hating Marxist/fascist/socialist/communist following Obama will be considered tantamount to treason. ~ JR
The Republican Party doesn’t want Trump but the Republican Party’s lack of action, created a Trump voter. The people who support Trump are tired of being lied to and want someone to stop what Obama has been doing to the country.
The Republican Party must not be raising enough money from donations to support Republican candidates throughout the country. They resent Trump because he is doing so well.
They fear Trump will not help them because they cannot control Trump.
Romney gives Cruz the LDS vote? Who gives the LDS vote that Harry Reid gets?
THANK you for making that point! I was just ready to zing it out there myself.
These Cruz berserkers are playing with the math. We may as well join in with the facts on the math.
How do you come to that conclusion?
==================================================
Not me, the article said it: Derailing Trump will require a big surge from Cruz from here on out. Can he do it?
Politicians would be stupid not to accept any support that came their way.
You can bet your butt that Trump would.
The establishment knows darn well that they can’t corrupt Ted.
So apparently, they don’t want Hillary.
Trump = Hillary
Don’t blame Cruz for his endorsements.
They are mostly people who cannot stand TRump, along with the rest of the country.
Ted just accepted the backing of the biggest sell-out in recent GOP history:
Mitt Romney.
