(CNN)One year ago this week, Ted Cruz became the first of 17 candidates to argue that he could unite the Republican Party behind him.
Now, he has his a chance to prove it.
On the anniversary of a presidential launch that knew nothing of a man by the name of Donald Trump, contests and converts won of late will offer the clearest signal yet of whether he can indeed consolidate the anti-Trump movement and eventually defeat the billionaire front-runner.
Cruz is favored to win this Tuesday's caucuses in Utah and is hopeful of sweeping the state's 40 delegates by eclipsing the 50% threshold needed to take them all home. And while Cruz's campaign says Trump has a large lead in the early vote in winner-take-all Arizona, which also votes Tuesday, Cruz's aides are projecting confidence that they can gain on Trump by then...

sure is amazing how anti cruz/ pro trump drivel gets to be and stay in breaking news. this site sux
Wow - Trump accepted financing in 2004 from Soros. If it had been an interest-free loan, you might have a point. Until you can demonstrate that, it just means Trump was conducting business.
Ted cares nothing about the country and only for himself. He is currently only in this as a spoiler, on command from the establishment. More of us here are not fooled anymore.
Welcome back! Good to see you!
As the article states, Utah looks great for Ted Cruz; I hope he can eclipse the 50% threshold, but with all the early voting in Arizona, things don’t look as good in that direction, BUT ..... this IS Holy Week; will enough prayers for Ted work a miracle?
If Trump should win the nomination, I’m not looking forward to the atmosphere in the streets. And can he beat Hillary anyway?
Go Ted Cruz!

typical trump supporter. bitter and angry
Trump’s supporter don’t count caucuses because Trump doesnt do well in them, so they pretend they don’t exist - they’re not “real” primaries.
I believe, however, that the delegates are real.
It’s going to be a big week, little Teddy! If you’re a good boy, you’ll get ice cream and cake and you can even ride a pony!
I agree, and would take either also, at this point.
The brokered convention scares me. I feel it’s important to avoid at all costs.
According to the latest poll, Trump can’t even beat Hillary or Sanders in conservative UTAH!
Cruz will take California no problem. A plus 10 means Cruz can win...with plenty of time to blast Trump out of the water.
I sincerely hope that brokered convention can be prevented. We will have to be the Americans we are supposed to be and see how the real voting turns out in the run up, and take it from there united against the evil witch.
yeah, be careful what you wish for jessup. trump is no savior and in fact rejects anything resembling small gov’t.
“Cruz supporters stand firmly with the true Constitutional Conservative. They are not deluded and not rabid (unlike Trump supporters,)but are principled.”
Yes, we have noticed that...like when your ruler (and presumably you) justify denying people the right to free speech and peaceful assembly (Trump and his supporters). Or, demonizing another man’s pro life stance by saying it was a lie...when the liar is Cruz...yes, or during a debate when Cruz did not have a clue what free market principles were in regard to removing the lines around the states which limit market suppliers of health insurance...he didn’t get it like he doesn’t get trade problems and the results of a tariff if necessary creating more jobs here. Yes, very constitutional conservative (vomit). What a bunch of pompous phonies...
More and more people are coming to realize just how vile of a liar Ted is...and they are leaving his campaign in droves. Just after Cruz’s infamous betrayal and incitement of violence he lost about 25% of his followers on Twitter!
