No. This is false.

Unless Trump genuinely blows it, it's still his to win or lose.

Sorry, but saying Cruz is the favorite is just a silly thing to say. Wishful thinking at best.

Uhh, no, nobody asked about that. And the states where his eligibility is being questioned are poo-pooing your theory, including Illinois, hardly a deep red state.

Amazing how Cruz’s NH trouncing was a victory because it wasn’t fertile ground and Cruz didn’t put all that much into it.

Yet in Iowa where a New York guy in farm country who spent the least and had no ground game was considered a disappointment, a big loss.

Will we ever get past the slanted coverage?

The article says Cruz is not the frontrunner.

“I'd give Trump something like a 60 percent chance at the nomination at this point and Cruz a 35 percent chance” says the author.

Cruz still has to win the majority of the delegates in 8 states to even get nominated at the convention. Right now it’s:

Trump 1 state
Cruz 0 states
Nobody 1 state (Iowa, where Cruz won but didn’t score a majority of the delegates)

After S.C. it will be Trump 2, Cruz 0.

I think, rather, that Trump is going to save the GOPe from Cruz.....which is not to say that Trump is establishment. But as we all know, the GOP hates conservatives more than anything else.

We need ONE non-Trump to coalesce around, to take down the 33%er. As more candidates fall away, I’m hoping that man will be Cruz.

Trump was leading in all the Iowa polls for some time.

IMHO ... if Cruz does not win South Carolina, the nomination is Donald Trump’s.

When did I imply that he was ineligible?

But wait - if Cruz is the front-runner because he’s heading into Evangelical heavy primary states, then why isn’t he cleaning up in South Carolina, instead of being 15 points behind?

Not really, it was Dr. Carson for a good while then Trump was up and down, mostly down to Cruz. He was up at the end but by small margins.
