“Cruz wins on second ballot.”

Cruz will be back in his Senate seat contemplating his self destruction before the convention even starts. The calls for him to drop out will be deafening very soon.

Cruz can get out now and retain some semblance of credibility or he can remain as a recalcitrant spoiler and destroy whats left of his political career. At some point Cruz’s better half Heidi will likely sit him down and restore common sense.

Hubris.

Just keep watching and you will learn how this stuff works. After last night Trump is the presumptive nominee. He will go on to shine in at least 5 more primaries. Most voters are ready to coalesce around Trump.

Ted Cruz has lost momentum, is creating the perception of stealing delegates and his polling numbers are going to continue to tank over the next several weeks. He will either get out or invoke the wrath of the voters. It will ultimately destroy his career if he is not careful. Its time for Ted to accept the inevitable.

It works the same way it's always worked. Better time management would be to read a history book. Then you can spend time at the loading bench instead of in front of the TV.

Which means sadly victory for the establishment New York candidate.

You really need to take your ball and go home. The people have spoken and you don’t like it.

Tyranny of the majority. Precisely the reason why the Founders did not give us a democracy

But you're right, I don't like it. I don't like a rude, loud mouth liberal from New Yawk being the Republican nominee. I don't like the idolatry and celebrity worship engaged in by his followers. I don't like people who claim to embrace conservatism and the Constitution throwing it away on the promise of a wall that will never be built. Did I mention that I don't like a rude, guppy mouth liberal from New Yawk being the Republican nominee?

Pray America wakes

Too late. You Trumpets have pushed America right over the edge.

What are you talking about. Trump swept the south too.

Unfortunately the Cult of Personality is strong everywhere. Trump or Hillary will be 'elected' president. Obama's regime will be extended through one of these two piles of buffalo dung.

Game over, man! Game over!

Nobody is worshiping Trump like the people worship Cruz. It must be something to be so superior to everyone else. Who needs you cowards anyway.

Bet you prefer more refined candidates like Romney.

Who, beside the Trumpsters, will be yelling for him to get out? The #NeverCruz crowd will support him. Conservatives want him to stay.

Trump will have one more good week and then it is Cruz time.

Who beside 37% of Republican Primary voters are calling for him to drop out. In fact show me on non-Trump, non-Kasich supporter that wants him to drop out

Show me the majority of voters that want Cruz in the race at all. The guy can’t get over 25% and he’s sliding fast.

The usual expression is America being knocked down and getting back up again.

Yes, he uses a boxing analogy, but using a female pronoun instead of a male one makes it weird.

That's the scenario. Lots of ways to describe it.

True, a lot of better ways then using a woman as the example.

Men tend to personify things they have an attachment to as feminine - ships and airplanes, for example.

Yes, I understand the metaphor, but when you mix it with fighting, getting knocked down and getting back up, you have mixed the genders.

We don't associate women with getting knocked to the mat and getting up to fight again.
