Just like Obama didn’t win the election for president of the Harvard Law Review on the first ballot. Instead, it took them all night and multiple votes for him to “win.” You must be so proud that detesTED is in such illustrious company.

Cruz actually won Iowa, so no one cares.

Cruz cannot win the majority of delegates and is only trying to stop Trump from doing so.

He won't win anything.

Shhh, that is the little secret Cruz supporters don't want anyone to know about!

Reality hits home tomorrow night.

Not according to Cruz and his supporters how take great delight in circumventing the will of the voters with clever tactics.

A perfect day. Like Elle woods? Legally blonde?

Does Cruz have any freakin clue what happens to the eventual republican nominee?? Within the now friendly media? A clue? How the media wants him as nominee so they can destroy him in one eight hour news cycle. When they cannot destroy trump? That what they’re doing totrump now is nothing in comparison? That what trump is likely doing to them all the head scratching over Colorado is possibly trump playing with them while everyone marvels at Cruz’s electoral delegate bs prowess while he has zero zero savvy on media and that they would smash him like a daddy long leg spider on the bathroom wall ten minutes into the first eight hour news cycle and SNL would sweep up the mess?

Does he have one clue?

Because he sure is messing up the delegate selection process.

Silly me...I thought the voters selected the delegates. Ah, democracy...what a quaint concept for the little people.

You’ve gotten awfully testy since your WI forecast of a Trump victory went down in flames.

Maybe your 1100 forecast for Trump on Apr 27th will see the same fate?

Ok sure I underestimated the GOPe strength. And 1100 is approximate. It could be more or less, but those two days will have zero Cruz wins. If anything Kasick may get some delegates.

>>And 1100 is approximate. It could be more or less, but those two days will have zero Cruz wins.<<

Trump has 743 delegates now per RealClearPolitics, and there will be 267 chosen on Apr 19th and 26th, so I’m guessing your approximation of 1100 is a bit optimistic (since 743+267=1010.)

Furthermore, Cruz and Kasich will both get some of those 267 delegates. Both are likely to get 4-6 each out of Rhode Island alone because of the way they allocate delegates.

And wait until you read how 54 of the 71 Pennsylvania delegates are apportioned. That has the potential to drive you absolutely bonkers, especially if Cruz is on his game and Trump is still playing catch up.
