No, hes not going to win directly or by convention.
Let’s hope not ...
Not by the numbers.
He got 14% in Ohio.
He aligned with Romney show screwed over our Governor.
Romney lost Ohio.
GOPe will lose Ohio if Cruz or Romney are on the ticket.
Florida will also go blue if anybody but Trump is on the ticket.
Not really hard to see how this plays out.
Bush43 won Florida. Are you saying he’s more conservative than Cruz?
It’s impossible for him to win the nomination outright.
If the question is whether he could win the general, I think he could. He or Trump could.
No it’s not. The delegates are still there, uncommitted.
Ross....yes, it is possible, but unlikely.
With under half of the possible delegates allocated, Trump is a few percentage points over half of the delegates needed and the current trajectory. The odds of Cruz winning are very long indeed.
Not in a contest ruled by the laws of simple arithmetic.
Depending on who you ask, Ted needs to win 78% or north, of all the remaining delegates to, clinch the nomination fair and square.
That’s not even close to being doable.
I sure hope not. Vote Trump.
I thought Trump was Goldwater? Do they all get a shot at that title?
I bet Kasichs dad once delivered a letter from Goldwater
The only way he could possibly reach 1237 would be if Trump dropped out.
You do realize we live in a different time, right?
Bush43 would not get Florida today.
Not a chance.
“Conservative” has been hijacked. People are no longer voting along party lines. This is an issues-based campaign.
They’ve compared Cruz to McCarthy, the Zodiac Killer, the lead singer of Stryper, Grandpa Munster....
Cruz (26.7) has finally surpassed Carson’s (24.8) RCP national average high from November. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/2016_republican_presidential_nomination-3823.html
Really? Wow. Who is going to win the Sweet Sixteen?
I’ll be calling on you for predictions in the future, since you know the future.
He can not win legitimately, he can’t win 87% of the remaining delegates, so being the sleazeball he is, he is hoping the GOPe will hand it to him if he makes the right promises. Promise number 1# Amnesty.
He’s not going to be the nominee. He’ll never get enough delegates to win outright. It’s impossible. And in any floor fight he’s already shown us what he’s going to do....roll over and let the GOP establishment nominate whoever they darn well want IF Trump doesn’t have enough delegates...and maybe even if he does have enough delegates. But rest assured Teddy is angling for another job...probably Supreme court justice....which he will be promised whether or not Hillary or whomever wins. The fix is in. And if Clinton appoints him to the court he’s going to do and vote EXACTLY how the establishment wants him to. He’ll be another John Roberts.
