You won't beat an "outsider" with an "establishment" candidate in this election cycle. It'll take an anti-establishment candidate to defeat an anti-establishment candidate in the next 16 primary and caucus states.
With the exception of former President Bill Clinton, aka the "comeback kid," no one has won the White House in modern history who hasn't first won Iowa, New Hampshire, or South Carolina. At this point, Marco Rubio is running to preserve the Republican brand, with the hopes of taking this race all the way to the convention, where he's convinced the delegates will choose him. The problem with that scenario is that it's likely Rubio won't win any states come Super Tuesday. He also won't win his own state of Florida - a winner take all state, or Ohio, on March 15th. If Rubio fails to win any of the 14 states next week, "Marcomentum" will be a thing of the past, before he ever reaches Florida.
Keep in mind that...

Yep, he is.
But remember that Cruz HAS TO win a number of states in the upcoming “Super Tuesday” primaries or he is done.

I have three members of my family that like Cruz and dislike Trump ( personally ), but have accepted that Trump would be the better candidate to defeat Hillary. I think a big mistake on Cruz’s part, was to run as a “Fundamentalist”, when running as a “Conservative”, would have served him better.
I am not looking for an “Anti-Trump” candidate. I am looking for a candidate that can stop the harridan legacy of a corrupt presidency. I am looking for a candidate that can stop our quisling, ball-less RINO Congress from capitulating to Democrats because of the threat of ‘bad media’ and ‘optics’ or loss of Sunday Morning news-puke appearances.
I am looking for a candidate that will not legalize invaders and allow them to become citizen voters, not offer some frigging ‘plan’ to implement reform. Here’s a novel ‘plan’ — enforce some f@cking laws that are already on the books!
I’m not interested in listening to a supporter whose only arsenal is heel-nips against Trump instead of showing how his candidate can make our RINOs grow some b@lls and put these socialists and concern freaks back in their rightful cage.
He’s correct.
Cruz support is far more likely to go to Trump than Rubio (although Trump’s childish behavior of late may prevent that).
The answer is for Rubio to back off and agree to be Cruz’s VP and for the entirety of others to get behind Cruz.
I doubt, however, the RINO elite can get behind a real conservative. I think they’d rather have one who plays one on TV. Trump is much more malleable to their desires.
If we cringed thinking of all that Bill Clinton was doing to destroy the dignity of the office of President of the United States, DT will finish tarnishing it with his foul mouth and sexual trysts with some of his "happily married women!"
“Donald Trump continues to amaze. Wednesday afternoon, he strode onto the Regent University stage (an influential Christian University) and received a prolonged standing ovation from the evangelical audience. He went on to speak eloquently about the importance of family (he even brought out his two sons who spoke highly of him), nominating pro-life judges, defending Israel, etc. After hearing what he had to say, he left over an hour later to another standing ovation. I saw it with my own two eyes. I was there as the moderator of this presidential forum. After seeing those evangelicals rise to their feet, I thought to myself how Ted Cruz must be downing huge Alka-Seltzer tablets as we speak. After all, it was Cruz who was supposed to get all the love from evangelicals. Instead, Trump has invaded his turf. What happened?”
Hey GGG, do you have any Alka-Seltzer handy? As the article says, what happened? Cruz won’t even carry Texas next week.
How about being something other than the “anti”?
Cruz is finished and has no chance to win the nomination. Time for you guys to move on. That’s what happens when you throw in with Glenn Beck and campaign to only conservative evangelicals who don’t vote for you anyway.
Cruz and Rubio combined did not beat Trump in Nevada.
So much for anti-Trump.
will you be comparing Trump to Hitler today?
or is this all you got?
Unfortunately, the establishment hates Cruz so much, it appears they’d rather have Trump or Hillary win the White House just to keep him out of it.
Well, that's why he's a lousy anti-Trump. Once he gets away from his core support, not enough people like him.
In any case, I'd have preferred Rubio or Cruz to Trump, but it ain't happening for either. It would be a very near thing even of everyone got out except for one of those guys, and that's not happening anyway.
Trump has this in the bag - it's just too late.
“You Trumpettes have the same gutter language as your leader.”
Considering how the Ned Flanders wing basically accomplished nothing other than losing like good little simps (but happy that the old ladies down at the church will still bake them sugar cookies), I thing you “Cruzettes” (using your “lofty mature” lingo) can take a powder and let people that know how to throw a punch have a go at the left.
Seeing that you folks could not even effectively take on Trump shows that you had no business being in the general election anyway.
The main problem is Ted telling lies, half truths and misrepresentations. In spite of taking Ted down he keeps doing it. He needs to STOP talking about Trump, it isn’t working and is political suicide.
