Is Cruz already too late to stop Trump?

Arizona's primary is Tuesday, but more than half the ballots have already been cast — including for candidates who've left the race.

By the time Ted Cruz arrived Friday at the tiny border town of Douglas for his first Arizona event of 2016, he was already too late for the hundreds of thousands of Republicans who had already voted.

Election day is still two days away in Arizona but well more than half of Republicans expected to vote in the state’s Tuesday primary have already cast their ballots — complicating Cruz's attempts overtake Donald Trump as both make a late push for the state’s lucrative, winner-take-all prize of 58 delegates.

“A candidate cannot win Arizona if they don’t do well in early balloting,” said Nathan Sproul, an Arizona Republican strategist who had served as co-chair for Marco Rubio’s campaign in the state.

Arizona has among the most robust early-voting programs in the country. In Maricopa, the state’s largest county, early voters in 2016 comprise already nearly 90 percent of the county’s total GOP turnout four years ago.

Cruz sold out and drank the cool-aid served up to him by the GOPe, who certainly didn't want Cruz to win, they were just using him to try to stop Trump.

Hope so. He’s a globalist and a fraud and as his support base shrinks, he’s devolving into a cultist.

I think so. Although it’s clear that Ted has a lot of support in the primaries. The momentum and the urgency are still with Trump.

I find it difficult to believe there is anyone left supporting the Cruz campaign.

Is Cruz already too late to stop Trump?

or....... is there still time for Cruz to defeat the people's revolution against the political establishment?

Which is exactly what Cruz and his followers are seeking to accomplish whether they know it or not.

I posted this yesterday on a different thread:

“It seems that Cruz is just doing what even he needs to do for short term gain (ie embracing Mormanism in Utah). He doesn’t appear to be looking to win the nomination he’s just trying his best to deny trump from getting 1237.”

It’s also hilarious that he waited until FOUR DAYS before the primary to hold a campaign event at the Arizona border.

But please, tell us more about how you really care about immigration, Ted.
