Cruz will have little to no case at the convention especially if he ends up with less delegates then Trump. Regardless, the establishment and the people behind the process have no intention of making either one the nominee. They don’t care if they win or lose against Hillary. They do not want to cede party control.
Primary focus by the GOPe, the press, the GOP grifter pundits, and the globalist billionaires - get Trump under 1237. Romney used Kasich in Ohio and Cruz in Utah and now everyone is backing Cruz in Wisconsin. If Cruz wins Wisconsin, neither has a real shot at 1237. Cruz will be left to toss in the wind because he served the purpose to hold back Trump. They all hate Cruz. They hate Trump too but as an outsider (he was fine when he gave them money).
Not a noob just assuming your altered somehow from rational thought....
Open. And I’ve already sent in my ballot for Trump.
I’ll be behind a poll book on Tuesday. :-) But, I am in an EXTREMELY liberal community, so I expect my district to go for Sanders. Sometimes I hate working at the polls.
“”Not a noob just assuming your altered somehow from rational thought....”
Lol, “you’re altered somehow”
No I’m not.
And when it comes to rational thought or intellectual ability in general, YOU’RE obviously not qualified to judge anyone.
What state polls have you seen that show Cruz performing worse against Hillary than Trump? I sure can't find any. I can find ones that show Cruz performing much better than Trump:
This Wisconsin poll for example shows Cruz and Hillary tied, while Trump loses to Hillary by 10.
This Utah poll shows Trump losing to Clinton by 2, and Cruz beating Clinton by 28.
When I am wrong I admit it. Therefore I humbly serve my self up as an example as a warning to others not to post while drinking too much Calumet Bourbon. Lets just say I was a little confused.
Regardless, the fact is Trump currently leads Cruz by 2 million popular votes and I am comfortable with that. Of course in the end it all comes down to delegates, but for the talking heads to claim non-stop that Trump is so unpopular and unkind to women and can not win in November is BS.
I was a solid Cruz guy up until early January. In fact I donated regularly to his campaign going back more than a year. I admire him for his understanding of the Constitution. I believed he had all the conservative creds. But, the more I started learning about him the less I like him. I got tired of him coming off as some smart mouthed attorney in the debates and his constant attacking and blaming others. All politicians learn to evade questions, but Cruz seems to be very skilled in this area. He evades questions more than Trump.
I also began to look into his wife and was really turned off by her. A NWO Hillary type with a little more class. I read where she would bring Ted to dinner with her clients to impress them for advantage and other disturbing things. She is a typical beltway bandit type. For a true conservative as Cruz claims to be married to that is in-congruent. I don't want her or any other two-fer couple anywhere near the white house. Cruz does not stand a chance against Hillary and right now the US needs triage. Trump, is not everything I want, but he seems to have all the right enemies. I can deal with a little acerbic language and rough behavior if the job gets done. Cruz on the other hand does not resonate with the common man and he damn sure does not resonate with Democrat crossovers. Lately he seems to be showing his soft PC side, likely due to the recent GOPe influences in his campaign.
Finally, Trump is an Alpha male and Cruz is a Beta. A Beta who hid behind Carly Fiorinas skirts to deflect questions about his personal short comings. What a total embarrassment! Beta male Cruz would be no match for an emasculating b-witch like Hillary.
Open Primary
Noob, you are full of it.
“I guarantee if Trump loses the popular vote by 11 points, he’ll also lose the electoral vote. “
And I guarantee you that if Cruz loses FL, OH and PA he’ll lose the electoral vote.
“Mathematically, if someone loses the popular vote by more than a point or two, it’s a virtual certainty that’s they’ll lose the electoral vote as well. “
Mathematically, if someone loses OH, FL and PA it IS a certainty they’ll lose. Period.
“What state polls have you seen that show Cruz performing worse against Hillary than Trump? I sure can’t find any.”
You’re not very bright then: FL
“I can find ones that show Cruz performing much better than Trump:
This Wisconsin poll for example shows Cruz and Hillary tied, while Trump loses to Hillary by 10. “
Wonderful, does no good if he loses FL
“This Utah poll shows Trump losing to Clinton by 2, and Cruz beating Clinton by 28. “
Irrelevant again, have to win FL.
Trump could lose UT, and still win. Cruz can’t win FL and UT won’t help him at all.
Go study.
matter of opinion
We got Clinton the moment Trump got in the race. Every single candidate polled higher than she did, but we had to have this clown flush the election down the drain.
lame
Trump needs to only win 18 delegates from Wisconsin to stay on target to get to 1,237 whereas Cruz needs 33. Cruz has only won only 52% of his target allocation. He is behind by A LOT. Once it becomes mathematically impossible for Cruz to get to 1,237 he should drop out just as he has called for Kasich to do. http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/election-2016/delegate-targets/
“Every single candidate polled higher than she did, but we had to have this clown flush the election down the drain.”
Nope.
What poll shows Trump beating Hillary in Florida? You provided no source.
I guarantee you that if Cruz loses FL, OH and PA he’ll lose the electoral vote.
I agree, but Cruz has a much better shot at winning those swing states if he's running even with Hillary than Trump does who would would be running 10-15 point behind nationally, and would also be worrying about holding many normally red states like Utah, Montana, and Missouri.
“What poll shows Trump beating Hillary in Florida?”
None. And that’s not what you originally posited. You’re not very bright.
“You provided no source.”
RCP average shows Trump doing better than Cruz against Hillary in Fl. You previously stated “you couldn’t find any” states where that was the case.
I guarantee you that if Cruz loses FL, OH and PA he’ll lose the electoral vote.
“I agree, but Cruz has a much better shot at winning those swing states if he’s running even with Hillary than Trump does who would would be running 10-15 point behind nationally.”
Incoherent gibberish. National polls are irrelevant to state battles:
Trump is less than 2% behind Hillary in Fl, Cruz is more than 5% behind in that same state, and they’re both about 7% behind in OH. With Kasich as VP either one would easily win OH, but Cruz/Kasich loses FL.
Trump has a much better chance at taking both states, ergo he has a much better chance of beating Hitlery.
” and would also be worrying about holding many normally red states like Utah, Montana, and Missouri. “
Against Trump, Hillary has to be worrying about holding MI, NH, NJ, and CT. Against Cruz she doesn’t. She’ll easily sweep all those states.
Nice try.
It’s clear that this is going to be a contested convention.
Do get the cross over vote, Silly.
