Polls before today, trump plus 10%. Along comes Brussels and Trump will win Az by 20+, or a ten percent bump not even considering the write in vote came before the bombing.
With Wisconsin on deck it will be interesting to see if Lyin Paul Ryan endorses a sure loser in Lyin Ted Cruz. Birds of a feather... LOL.
Cruz was an insider before he got on the inside with the outsiders and got the outsiders to elect him so he could return to the inside with the insiders.
That’s pretty much it. Somebody rode somebody to power and dumped them...... “utterly”. (A litte Ted-speak there.)
I see Two scenarios
1) Trump gets 1237. Game over. He is nominee.
2) Trump gets 1150 Cruz gets 900 Others get 400 (just an example)
Cruz isn’t getting anywhere near 250 delegates of Trump. Daydream......
I don’t look forward to hearing her voice all through the General Election. I’ve been able to avoid hearing it all through the Primaries so far, but she won’t stop yelling!
I will give her this much: I don’t think she is using a teleprompter. She appears to be using some limited notes to refer to, but other than that, she is really good at talking on and on and on without a teleprompter. After the last 7 years of the Teleprompter In Chief, it’s always refreshing to see someone talk w/o one.
The ineligible Cruz is there for the same reason.
I disagree. If or some reason Trump doesn’t get 1237 (but I think he will)...they will give it to Kasich, nor Cruz.
Trump will win more than the sufficient number of delegates.
The very thought of unlikeable Cruz makes too many voters cringe, particularly the younger voters, under age 30.
Cruz was supposed to win in the South, but TRUMP swept the South! THAT alone told the tale. Cruz is unlikeable.
Furthermore, Trump is a genius and should he not reach the 1237, he’ll have his own back-up plan for the 2nd Ballot.
Kasich? Who is barely polling 10%?
No, he can’t win anywhere. OH was expected.
Here is the thing. For years ago the Paul supporters basically took over the Iowa GOP. Because Conservatives generally show up at the conventions. I will tell you this, Cruz and Trump will be arm in arm on the rules that are agreed to at the convention. I think if Trump falls short of 1237 only he and Cruz should be considered.
Does Cruz use “Liar check”? “Lier” works just as well for a liar.
I'll answers it - It doesn't.
Even giving Cruz 7 states where he shuts out Trump who gets zero delegates including Utah as seen in bold below, Cruz will not stop Trump. In this scenario, Trump gets 696 + 710 = 1,406 delegates by June 7th.

Well, the online turnout fell far short of what they predicted so Cruz is, indeed, ‘kicking it’!
Guess he’ll get all delegates.
I just caucused in Utah and we were handed our Presidential Preference sheet. No big deal, we were in and out in 1 hour.
Reslly? Safe-space is a “bullying” word? Wow...no sense of humous to quote my DH. I will not post to you again.
You can’t be nominated on any ballot without changing the rules. Trump and Cruz will have the delegates to prevent rule changes
His campaign guy, that Lt Gov. of Texas, spilled the beans tonight on Cavuto’s show:
Cruz is busy now planting delegates in all the states, so that in Round 2, Trump delegates will VOTE CRUZ, not Trump.
Trump will spoil those plans by winning more than 1237 delegates.
Why are Cruz, Romney and Paul Ryan so clueless in thinking that the majority of primary voters, talking millions of people, chose Trump and that they are going to be shunned on all levels of society for their attempt to back door themselves of their preferred candidate, i.e.: Ryan for Romney at the Convention? There really seems to be a disconnect on the part of the people who are trying to get delegates to vote for them even if the vast majority of the population of the county they come from wanted Trump as the nominee.
For Cruz to focus on Trump delegates, a select group of people in states all over the nation whose own citizens chose Trump over Cruz in the primary seems very very STRANGE. LIke give it up, quit trying to maneuver and back door yourself into the nomination.
Only Trump has put himself on the line as it relates to taking a stand for putting America first since he first advised he was running. If Romney and the Bush people try to back door Paul Ryan, Ryan will get openly booed at the RNC convention. Ryan hasn’t had to do all the interview Trump has made himself available for, Ryan has not had the debates Trump has had. The RNC made Trump point blank say they would support him and now the RNC is trying to do the opposite by nominating Paul Ryan?
The consultants, Romney and Bush family who are driving the RNC convention backdoor take over will be openly booed throughout the day if they try to steal this nomination from Trump and Trump voters.

Doesn’t matter - all Kasich has to do is pilfer delegates. Keep Trump below 50% in upcoming states. Will it work? So far, not really. But the Establishment is getting desperate.
