A party that allows rank neophytes like...

"Allows?" How very dictatorial (read: Democrat) to presume a political party should control who is allowed to run, rather than giving voters all available options and allowing them to choose.

Him again?

Are you a relative?

Or does he pay you?

When Donald Trump announced that he’d drop out of the race if he started falling in the polls, and then made a complete u-turn by declaring absolutely, categorically that he would never drop out of the race — that should have been the end of hope for the Cruz campaign.

Unless Trump drops out and his supporters transfer to Cruz, how can Cruz ever gain enough support to rise above his usual 7% in the polls?

Cruz has enough money, but that doesn’t seem to be helping. And the refusal of other low-level candidates like Rand Paul, John Kasich, Mike Huckabee, and Jeb Bush to drop out of the race means that the future debates will be too crowded for Cruz to make any more of a strong impression on viewers than he’s been able to make in the first two debates.

Ted Cruz really needs to call it a day on the campaign trail, announce that he’s returning what’s left of his campaign funds to his donors, go back to the Senate, try to unseat Mitch McConnell with a Conservative, and wait for a possible call from the eventual Republican presidential nominee to be his/her running mate.

He needs to be seen as doing something constructive — maybe after he drops out of the race, he could be hired by Fox News to provide coverage of the primaries — instead of wandering around the country making speeches that get him nowhere.

“Salon must really be worried about Cruz.”

They should be afraid.

Very afraid.

Go Cruz.
