What's that famous saying? "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." It's time for Ted Cruz to wake up and make the phone call that changes history, changes the GOP, changes the course of America.
It's time to face reality. Donald Trump will be the 2016 GOP presidential nominee. Only Trump has a path to the nomination. Ted Cruz is delusional if he thinks he can win the nomination...or deserves to win the nomination.
He was shut out on Tuesday night. Shut out as in zero, zilch, zip, nada. It was Trump 4, Kasich 1, Cruz 0, Rubio cut from the team.
Cruz can't be the nominee. We're deep into the GOP presidential race on a key Super Tuesday and he can't even win one state. The nomination winner can't be 0 for 5 on a Super Tuesday. That's not a man on the way to becoming leader of the free world.
Kasich can't be the nominee. He just won his first state out of 27. He's 1 win, 26 losses in the GOP race. And the one win was a "homer." The sitting Governor of Ohio just won his own state. My guess is very few sitting Governors have ever lost their home state. So please don't get any delusions of grandeur John! No GOP power broker is stupid enough to award the presidential nomination to a guy who is 1 win, 26 loses. That would be the death of the Republican Party.....

Not gonna lie.
I pray for this ticket.
I can’t think of anything more politically exciting in my lifetime.
Then we hollow out the party and elect Freedom Caucus candidates.
I voted for Cruz, but at this point, the death of the Republican Party is assured if the "GOP power brokers" are stupid enough to manipulate the rules so that Trump does not win.
Cruz is not going to win, but perhaps candidates stay in the race in order to get some of their strongly held beliefs into the party platform. Otherwise, Cruz and certainly Kasich should go ahead and get out.
Kasich hasn’t been publicly vetted yet.
It’s not going to be pretty, and I’m afraid it’s going to be really bad for momentum.
And you were such a big fan before this! [snort]
Ronald Reagan went all the way in 1976 against Gerald Ford.
If it avoids Hillary getting in office, I’m in.
The Northern Marianas Islands. Tinian, Saipan etc.

If Trump and Cruz get rid of Kasich tbey should have a toe to toe debate without him.
Makes sense to me. I would love to see it.
I think Ted Cruz would win it and then Trump would probably benefit the most from it unless Cruz talks his ideals instead of attacking Trump for what so many don’t care about.
Country before ambition. If Ted truly wants to destroy the DC cabal, he will withdraw from the race and endorse Trump.
Dear Wayne,
I believe the root of your problem is your failure to notice the race isn’t over.
Trump won’t have 1237 going into the convention and certainly won’t get to 1237 on a second ballot!
Fight for what? There is zero chance of him winning.
Yeah. I’ve been saying it for months. Trump will be the nominee. So if Cruz wants to be a part of that he needs to make the call.
Never!
..Nope. Folks in other states still have a right to vote. If he wants to concede at the convention then fine...
The sooner he does it, the less embarrassed he will be.
Nuts!
Trump takes care of immigration & trade and Cruz is turned loose on the Congress to annoy them into submission with his grating voice.
I hope Ted stays in...as long as he is active in the race there is hope for those of us who want a constitutional conservative (and a Christian) for president.
He needs to suspend his campaign before he destroys his career.
Pray America wakes
