bs if it was mano mano instead of 17, cruz would have wiped out trump in the south

LOLOL!!!

[Antoninus]

Cruz’s speech was really good. He is organized and stable. He doesn’t say the same simple things a dozen times in the same speech. Even if it might be insulting to some, Cruz is the thinking man’s candidate.

The best thing one can say about Trump is that he is a populist. The worst thing one can say about Trump is that he is a loud-mouthed, sleazy, lying low-brow populist who will say anything for votes.

I think Trump's lack of depth is finally catching up with him.

[Kenny]

I feel like I’m in the Twilight Zone.

Do you people understand that Cruz is fully funded by banks, open-border groups, pharmaceuticals, unions, and the like? Would you like me to break it down for you? Do you understand he is now using GOP money, GOP network, GOP media?

Weren’t any of you with us when we started this journey, when we wanted someone outside of the system because those on the payroll will do as told, again? Didn’t any of you want to stop the establishment from picking our candidates?

For God’s sake, Cruz is the antithesis of everything we’ve been fighting for.

[Windy City Conservative]

Looks like Trump is doing well in the rural counties where the GOPe talk radio and ad bombardment didn’t reach. Looks like Trump might end up winning Paul Ryan’s home county.

[Elyse]

Trump wants to bring us together with the Democrats. That’s a more sickening thought for me.

[Hostage]

Cruz has all the wrong friends.

Trump has all the right enemies.

[Fawn]

That cannot be true. The only reason ppl are actually voting for Republican in records is due to Trump. No one is going to care about voting for Cruz like they do Trump. You forget who is bringing out the new Repub. voters. It ain’t Cruz...Mr. boring typical politician.

[altura]

Fortunately for Cruz, the Wisconsin voters were not that bored.

[kjam22]

He does use big words. You gotta listen close and try to understand... :)

[hawkaw]

And you don’t think there isn’t any momentum after this win? Give me a break. Remember Trump had WI in the bag just a few weeks ago and he blew it big time.

Ted Cruz Ballot 2 winner

Sorry, even the GOPe isn’t that stupid. Cruz is the worst national candidate in generations 13% in OH. 17% in FL. Ted Cruz will never be POTUS with those type of numbers. All can see it except deluded Cruzers.

[Undecided 2012]

give me a break trump gets 100 times more media coverage than all the others.
hell, for a while there he’d get to call in matt lauer every morning for free coverage

hey maybe matt lauer should call trumpie tomorrow?

[scooby321]

Cruz will never have enough delegates and the GOP will never let him be the nominee

[beandog]

“The worst thing one can say about Trump is that he is a loud-mouthed, sleazy, lying low-brow populist who will say anything for votes.”

I think that’s the best thing you can say about him.:)

[michelala]

Cruz creeps me out big time. Can’t believe I used to fall for his fake conservative routine. GOPe to the core. We turned off the tv at our home. NOT listening to such a fake. Romney, Ryan, Neal Bush, and Cruz...a bunch of establishment losers. Literally makes me sick..

If we end up with President Hillary it will literally be the fault of this band of fools and their ilk.

[Strac6]

You are missing my point entirely.

I’m not for Cruz any more than Trump. I just want to beat Hillary, or any other Dem.... and the Donald’s loose cannon mouth is talking himself out of the nomination... and if nominated, the general election... which is all that counts.

P.S. Old political rule; “Name calling and boorish behavior is like a very short time loan from a loan shark; it gets you something for a few weeks or months, but then, “the note” comes due... and the swing voters, who decide an election, hate the name callers/boors for it.

Trump’s consistent under-performance will cause more than a few delegates to doubt Trump’s chances in the General.... and if more than a few dozen desert him, he is finished.

[scooby321]

The worst thing about Donald Trump is he has all the toys and Ted will never have any

[Hoodat]

Unbelievable that conservative FR attacks this conservative patriot the way they do.

Double dittos.

[Sideshow Bob]

I've been posting Cruz +15 as a prediction on this site.

Sorry, I underestimated just a bit.

[grey_whiskers]

No he didn't.

It was a two-week blitz of non-stop anti-Trump from Levin, Rush, and Fox News; and the GOP-e funneling a million in to Cruz's coffers; AND the combined efforts of Walker, Priebus, and Ryan.

With a spoiler who is already mathematically eliminated, thrown in.
