Just a tough night to be a Cruz supporter all around....
“Just a tough night to be a Cruz supporter all around....”
Only because two guys who have no chance refuse to get out. Tonight’s results only serve to further confirm that Cruz would win in head to head match ups with Trump.
That all right, there will be good nights. Most people are smart enough to let the other side have their day when they lose. Some are just masochistic and have to crash the party.
A few more wins sure would be nice, I would rather be in Trump’s shoes than Cruz’s for sure. But look at the polls and then the results in Michigan and Mississippi for Trump and Cruz:
Michigan
Trump -
RCP poll: 37.3
Results: 36.6
Difference: -.7
Cruz -
RCP poll: 19.8
Results: 24.8
Difference +6.0
Mississippi
Trump -
RCP poll: 41
Results: 47.4
Difference: +6.4
Cruz -
RCP poll: 17
Results: 36.3
Difference: +19.3
I think Cruz will be encouraged as he keeps over-performing in the polls. Does the math say he can win? No, the odds are incredibly low. But he is still performing very well.
I seriously think he and Trump are both laughing at the GOP establishment’s panic.
On April 19th, New York votes and Trump will win the vast majority of those 95 delegates. That is also the day I predict that the combined delegate count of Trump and Cruz will cross the 1,237 line.
That would be the perfect day for them to meet at Trump’s victory party and announce that Trump has chosen his running mate and Cruz will release his delegates at the convention so they can vote for Trump.
I would pay money to see the faces of the establishment at that moment.
