The choice between Cruzifer and Trump has become a no brainer over the past several weeks. I was a Cruz fan at one time. Now he is unbearable to listen to anymore!

The law of holes.. when you’re in one, stop digging. Lyin’ Ted must be warned.

Already hated by those on his side of the isle, his only power was that he was the furthest right guy there was, so many believed in him (I did until I actually started watching him speak, then I had doubts as to his ability to communicate, then I realized he was faking it all.)

I give it a 50% 50% chance that we see his family break up, possibly a marriage to Carly, possibly a sign of internal breakdown, and total misunderstanding as to why he lost, but then on to the next scheme. I just don't think the guy is connected to the human race. I'm not certain Carly is either ... they seem to reinforce each others' disconnected inner worlds.

Politically, my prediction is ... "         ".

“Yeah but after the election what will be Cruz’s scam?”

Heidi will cut her losing investment loose, and divorce him. She will also seek and obtain primary custody of the children. He will oppose both, and lose both.

His second best move is to leave Texas. Move to Utah and go full Mormon, since he has already waded around in those waters. Perhaps Willard and Stabby the Clown would assist him, then he could continue in politics from a Utah base, pick up a new wife and in time probably wives, as he can advocate for that.

His BEST move would be to do a 180 right now. Renounce Dominionism, repent, and allow God to shape him, instead of him trying to cram God into a harness to pull his wagon.

I don’t see him making the best move. It would be entirely out of character.

Trump is better off with Cruz delegates than with establishment delegates. Trump should have done the choosing, but he didn’t bother, and after that unacceptable oversight I’m okay with Cruz doing the job. At least the Cruz delegates are likely to be genuine conservatives who care more about beating Hillary than they care about maintaining the establishment in power. And, no, Cruz is not establishment, as any honest observer can confirm by checking his voting record.

Go ahead and hate Cruz if that entertains you - it’s a popular and fun hobby. But I voted Trump five days ago, and I’m glad someone outside the establishment has been picking the Trump delegates.

When Trump is inaugurated, I’ll keep a watchful eye on Trump because I don’t trust him 100% (I didn’t trust Reagan 100% either, but he came close and I hope Trump will eventually earn that trust too). If something happens to 69 y/o Trump, I expect Cruz to get the nomination, and I’ll vote for Ted Cruz. I do not want “President Hillary”! Again, in that unlikely event, I’ll keep a watchful eye on Cruz because I don’t trust him 100%.

According to the article, Cruz, who supposedly had 28 ND delegates, now only has 10. So, I’m guessing that means The Donald now has the other 18 to go with his 1004.

I’m sure that won’t hurt Trumps feelings.

I will never believe that ‘math’ is Cruz's strong suit. I think his wife is the number cruncher. ‘you know’ Bill and Hillry clones.

Ahhh, that's ok, Ted can skulk around and steal some more when nobody's looking.

Astonishing,isn’t it?

What is amazing to me is finding out how many people in the USA are fed up with ALL establishment politicians.

Even Bernie’s astonishing numbers show it.

What a year !

You have a sensible attitude.

“Cruz is not qualified for the Supreme Court. Period.”

Even if he is an American, he is morally unfit for the office, before we even get to his globalist biases, personal eccentricities and “forgetfulness”.

He is a Potemkin village, all by himself.

“Naa, Cruz will get the nomination if it gets to the 2nd ballot.”

Calgary Ted would then face the same dilemma as a dog who finally catches a car. What would Ted Bush do with the nomination? He has already proven pretty thoroughly that he can’t get many people to vote for him.

Anyone want to predict Cruz’s future after this?



I'll leave it to you to decide which role he'll play.
