The GOP-e disagrees - Lyin' Ted will NEVER be selected.
To deny the reality Lyin' Ryan or even YEB! will be selected is insane stupidity.
If Lyin' Ted really cared about America and was anti-Establishment, he would step aside and support the ONLY outsider who can destroy the Establishment.
The fact Lyin' Ted continues is proof he is a part of the Bushie Establishment - and has been from the very beginning. Just look at how the Establishment (i.e. Club for Growth, George Soros, et al) is funding him, how the GOP-e is assisting him in his unethical & sleazy campaign and his support of Dread Pirate John Roberts & TPP w/Lyin' Ryan .
Lyin' Ted a Christian & Conservative? Absolutely not!!!
I bet the number one activity in your “special” world is basket weaving.
What an intellectual response...typical of leftists when reality cannot support their statements.

That’s a sarcasm symbol...just to help you grasp basics.
That's very good news, given the track record of Trump's detractors.
Trump still has plan A.
Once upon a time Cruz had plan A, too—winning 1237. That got blown to hell, so now all he’s left with is plan B, IF the GOPe goes along. And we all know what honorable guys they are.
Any thinking person would rather be in Trump’s position right now than Cruz’s.
Trump should be close to 1,100 + by the end of May, and if that happens and he wins NJ with 51 delegates, he'll need only about 70-80 out of kalifornicator, montana, newmexico and southdakota which have 228 delegates.
Doesn't seem too improbable to me.
NY will make up for it very fast.
Actually the reverse is true. That is why the establishment is so desperate to stop Trump. They know that his election will likely change their world forever. The VP choice won't win or lose an election but it may be necessary for Trump to get establishment support for the general - however grudgingly.
Dream on. If Trump doesn’t have 1237 going in, he will be close. Cruz will be about 500 delegates short. There just aren’t that many states Cruz can win in. He’ll be lucky to win 200 more if he wins Indiana. It could be a lot less. He might pick some more up on the second ballot but he would lose some too. Remember most of these GOPe guys hate Cruz. He will never get more than he would on the second ballot. Once that happens they will chose whoever they want, most likely Kasich.
But the odds are Trump has over 1300 going in.
Yes, Trump is in a favorable position for Plan A. But he has nothing if he doesn’t secure the first ballot votes he needs.
That’s his gamble, that’s his fault. No whining.
You Trump fans have this misconception that the majority of delegates are some "GOPe" thing. The majority of delegates are people Cruz has been working on building relationships with for years. They aren't going to abandon him.
Actually, it isn't.
Trump loses in a Mondale-style landslide.
Who will Trump believers scapegoat? Surely everyone but themselves for believing this fantasy.
Your bookie is bogus.
Wisconsin destroyed Trump’s chances of getting the 1237 and Ted Cruz knew then that whoever wins after the first, and of course inconclusive, vote in Cleveland will win the nomination.
The Texas political genius is now getting fantastic results from his delegate collecting ground game.
While Duh Donald is whining the constitutional conservative is winning.
While the New York phony is insulting the cool claver Texan is resulting.
The majority of the delegates, even those pledged to him, weren’t picked by Ted. They are people who have spent decades working their way up the GOP ladder. They have no particular loyalty to a first term senator from Texas that none of the other officeholders even like.
I really have to question your intelligence when you make statements like that. Millions of reliable union democrat voters are up for grabs with Trump. The border patrol union has Never - Ever endorsed a candidate before. The AFLCIO are threatening their members with expulsion or sanctions for supporting Trump publicly. Trump will end up with a Reagan sized victory in November if he is running against Hillary.
Cruz is feeding the GOPe alligator hoping it eats him last. But eat him it will.
I guess we shall see. I’m not really a Cruz fan. Just a Not Trump fan.
Why bring intelligence into it? Is that helpful?
There are huge unfavorables that Trump has in polls and there are polls that consistently show him as a big loser against Hilary.
It takes not intelligence on your part, but a leap of faith, to believe in a Trump-led landslide in his favor.
I know you want that to happen. But I see no reason to believe that the electorate that voted for Obama twice is suddenly going to come aboard the Trump train.
‘Most everyone, except the most ardent Trump supporters, see Trump losing in a landslide.’
I doubt there are many Trump supporters, ardent or not, who see him losing in a landslide! There are people who do think that, but they are not Trump supporters.
One of the things we Trump supporters enjoy most about Trump is seeing him win. He’s winning in votes, states and delegates and he has been since the beginning.
Admittedly, these several weeks leading up to NY have not been the most enjoyable moments of the campaign, and the bombardment of stories about Trump campaign failures is getting really old.
Still, I have a feeling that our days of enjoying Trump victories are not over yet!
But you think they're going to vote for Ted Cruz?
The Republican nominee is going to be the underdog, no matter who it is. The demographics make it tough on a statewide level in enough states.
A bold slashing approach is the only chance we have.
The states that are cited as those that Trump can flip are at least reasonable. I don't see which ones Cruz can flip.
