If Ted Cruz doesn’t pull off major wins on ST, he’ll probably have to drop out.

The reality being that unless he can figure out how to expand his base quickly, he’ll be a historical footnote.

Like Rick Santorum.

Like it or not, Ted Cruz is done! The GOPe will try to coalesce around Boobio., but even they are likely to be too late unless they can get K-sick to quit and throw his support to Boobio. The real question is where will the Cruz people go with Ted suspends his campaign. I personally hope Trump reaches out to him, because he’s a valuable player who can help Trump win and also help craft a new Administration.

Hey, his wife knows a lot of big bankers who will make some personal loans.

Of course, we still don’t know if he paid them back for the other ones.

How could he pay back that much on their salaries with all of their personal expenses?

Inquiring minds want to know?

Yup...it is time for Ted Cruz to make nice with Donald Trump. I have always thought that a Trump Cruz ticket would be great.despite all the fighting between them I still think it would make a great winning ticket

Ted needs mega donors?

What happened to that groundswell of small donors? The veritable multitudes of ordinary people funding Ted’s campaign?

Creepers told me he had a secret army. Where’s the secret army!

There are 31 republican primaries and caucuses between now and March 15. Trump is expected to win big in Nevada on Tuesday. Trump is also leading in most of the 14 Super Tuesday contests on March 1st. If his campaign is strapped for cash now, it doesn’t look like he’ll be able to mount an effective campaign in all 14 Super Tuesday states. There are also 4 republican primaries on March 5th. Unless, he is able to win more than one of these contests, he may find that his contributions will dry up. Who wants to contribute to someone who is always fighting for 2nd or 3rd place?

The strong points of Cruz’s campaign have included some of his speeches and some of his debate performances.

The weak points have included getting too sidetracked in GOP squabbles with his fellow candidates, weak defenses of his strong conservative voting record (more of a TEA Party record than any other candidate by far), and his failure to project a tough Texan image that is forever irritated by the DC of Obama and the Dems. He let Trump get to his right on Muslim immigration and that about sealed the deal even though Trump will squish on that issue soon enough.

Ted “Creflo Dollar” Cruz gave an impassioned plea for donations? Bet that was a day ending in y.

Not enough ad money for the SEC, and not enough ground game money to cover a dozen states.

And far less coming in than they are now spending.

He blew his wad in SC and came in a disappointing 3rd.

Cruz supporters better start sending in those C notes.

Be careful what you wish for. If Cruz gets taken out it where do you think his support will go? For me I will tilt to Trump, but I think many will go to Rubio. Cruz and Trump need to focus all of their fire on Rubio. Donald jumped the gun on going after Cruz. I get why he did it, but the GOPe is not going away quietly.

A pox on both Trump and Rubio as far as I am concerned, they’ve both burned enough bridges with the Cruz campaign, and some of their most ardent supporters on here don’t help their cause in convincing Cruz supporters like me, if Cruz doesn’t make it!!!!

Below are the Super Tuesday states. There are no winner-take-all states, so delegates are proportionally assigned. Most of the Super Tuesday states are Open Primaries, which favors Trump, since he is a Leftist who relies on Democrat votes. With Bush out and Kasich on the brink, Rubio is in the good position. Rubio would have won SC if not for Jeb.

It is possible that Cruz and the Establishment could make a deal to sink Trump, but so far the Establishment prefers Trump over Cruz because Trump is "malleable" and willing to betray the Conservative base.

Alabama Primary Open 50 Proportional 
Alaska Caucus Closed 28 Proportional 
Arkansas Primary Open 40 Proportional 
Colorado Caucus Closed 37 Proportional 
Georgia Primary Open 76 Proportional 
Massachusetts Primary Open 42 Proportional 
Minnesota Caucus Open 38 Proportional 
Oklahoma Primary Closed 43 Proportional 
Tennessee Primary Open 58 Proportional 
Texas Primary Open 155 Proportional 
Vermont Primary Open 16 Proportional 
Virginia Primary Open 49 Proportional 
Wyoming Caucus Closed 29 Proportional

Bunk. Contest 3 out of 50. Forty seven more to go. This is just manipulation.

A sign the GOPe is moving to get behind “Marco the Rube.”

What I’d like to know is what was the topic of discussion when Cruz and Trump met 6 or 7 months ago at Trump tower. I believe the meeting was at Cruz’s request, although I’m not completely sure on the point.
