I guess by your logic, Lincoln should have thrown the towel in?
It took multiple ballots for him to be elected... and he was also facing a tremendous uphill battle against a strong liberal Republican from New York, Seward.
Cruz has a SOLID shot at being the GOP candidate. In actually, Trump’s lack of a long game makes it even more conceivable that HE won’t be the GOP candidate.
Of course, he likely will go cry and run third party, but remember he is the one screwing us over if that happens...
Apples and oranges. There were no primaries when Lincoln was elected. The candidate was picked at the convention.
Come on.
Basically the only elections that Cruz has won, are the closed Caucus states.
When all the people actually had a chance to vote, they overwhelmingly selected Trump. In virtually every single state.
Cruz won in Texas (his own state) and Oklahoma (next door). There was one other state which was an actual election.
But otherwise all the states in which people actually held a vote, Trump won.
That is not ‘strength’ indicated, for the fall, showing in Cruz’ history.
That just shows, he can win caucuses. Which means he can win, where the GOP structure is strongest.
Trump has been winning where people actually vote.
Consistently.
And he will also pick-up quite a lot of democrats, who are sick and tired of everyone selling out our own country.
Go Trump. :D
Trump could finish with 1,000 delegates: then they bring in Mittens for another round, just when we thought we had voted for Mittens for the last time!
