Cruz won’t hit hiterly hard enough in the general campaign or the debates. His globalist handlers won’t allow it.

Cool...Ted’s job just got a little easier...both at the ballot box, and at the convention, if need be.

At this point, it is impossible for Cruz to win. He has 465 delegates. He needs 1237. There are 800 delegates left. That means he needs 772 of those remaining delegates. He can afford to lose only 28 more delegates out of the entire remaining primary season.

Even if Trump has a heart attack and dies, Kasich is still there, and the bulk of the remaining states are northeast and pacific coast.

Cruz cannot win enough delegates to take the nomination on the first ballot. Both he and Kasich remain in the race purely to stop Trump from winning.

One analyst on CNN said last night that if Cruz OR Trump do not win on the first ballot, that neither of them will walk out of the convention with the nomination. He claimed to have sources.

Oh geez. I used to like Cruz. I no longer have ANY respect for him at all.

“The majority of actual grassroots Republicans prefer Cruz.”

No they don’t. If they did, Cruz would be winning every primary state by healthy margins.

The only places Ted wins, are caucus states, where citizen participation is very low, and party insiders control the process.

Trump wins big in straight primary states, where citizen participation is high, and there’s far less meddling with the process by party insiders.

Upcoming primaries are not the only way a candidate can add to his vote totals. Uncommitted and released delegates get to vote too.

Great analysis.

Every card carrying member of the eneMedia has "sources".

But that is not outright winning the nomination.

It requires a bit of honesty about how many of the remaining delegates we see Cruz winning. It’s not like Trump is dropping out of the race.

It resonated with me, though, because I truly believe they have waited far too long to support Cruz. Doing so proved their hatred for him.

They won’t let him out of that convention with the nomination, and the odds are that he’ll have at best in the neighborhood of 600 delegates. He’s simply NOT beating Trump in the northeast states.

You and many others see the truth now that Cruz is a fraud because of the Internet , Google and other sites.

What is dangerous is that Canadian Cruz still has a lot of uninformed Americans fooled . And with the world establishment and the gope behind Cruz they might steal the election away from us Americans and Trump the last chance to save America.

Right. The numbers favor Trump regardless, or maybe especially so. But halting an outright majority is job one for competitors. And there’s reason to accumulate delegates to influence future rules and campaigns.

Hey Mark, It's not just Lindsey anymore...

Lindsey Graham
Neil Bush
Former Rubio endorsers such as Nikki Haley
Carly Fiorina (who you said was the establishment candidate for Senate in California)
Meghan McCain
Mitt Romney
Jeb Bush

The establishment is not trying to stop Trump and fears Cruz the most? Come on now.

My fear is that none of the actual candidates walks out of the convention as our nominee.

I think that would be tragic.

The Ryan/Whitman ticket....are you ok with that?

With 2000 combined Trump and Cruz delegates, how would that happen? Rule changes have to be approved by majority vote of the whole convention. I’m not sure why this delusional stuff keeps circulating. Psy-ops to discourage Trump supporters from participating because ‘the fix is in’?
