Trump blow them out of the water throughout the Northeast Primaries
Cruz is sinking
Talk about Cruzmentum
That’s Ted’s plan all along. Lose the Solid South, Lose the Northeast, Lose the West Coast - make it up on the back end backroom deals.
Lyin’ Ted will claim four 3rd place losses are a win, somehow.
Running the table is a good way to look at how strong Trump is.
And it’s all because Cruz opened his mouth and bad-mouthed their fellow northeasters.
That might end up being the single dumbest comment in all of election history.
AND, I think it will rub off on California.
It certainly will on New Jersey.
Cruz’s lack of strength in Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, and Ohio suggest that Indiana is an open question.
Trump blow them out of the water
**************
The “them” also includes the despicable and arrogant RNC elites that think they can manipulate us.
Not to worry! Rush, Levin, et al will come to the rescue! (I don't know that for sure, because I won't listen to them anymore)
The New York polls alone say that it is now mathematically impossible for Cruz to obtain 1237 delegates.
If you think about it, Cruz now has about 545 delegates, and the number of 2nd ballot delegates he’s picked up are less than 200.
So, EVEN ON THE SECOND BALLOT, Cruz does NOT have enough delegates to win.
Paul Manafort will be driving that reality home as they make deals with delegates throughout the remainder of this process.
But Cruz just said he has won 11 elections in a row, how can this be??
In any other year, 3rd place losses would devastate a badly trailing campaign.
Cruz is being carried entirely by the media.
He has zero path to victory: not on the first ballot, not on the second ballot, and then certainly not on any third ballot....that will belong to the GOP-E.
Cruz in third place in most of the states behind no-chance Kasich. How can this be? Whatever happened to Cruz’s much ballyhooed “ground game” that the Cruzers have been chortling about.
Kasich 2nd in all but Maryland! Cruz won’t only have to fight against Donald but protect now against Kasich. Good luck with that Ted.
Cruzer the Loser aka Lyin' Ted aka Felito the King of All Phony Slimebuckets is only polling at 20% in the PA GOP primary. He won only 17% in the Florida GOP primary. And he won only 13% in the Ohio primary.
This POS hasn't got a chance in the general if he can only garner a tiny fraction of his own party's votes in the primaries in these key states.
Get out of the race, Lyin' Ted. GTFO.
CRUZ SUPPORTERS’ TEARS ARE GONNA BE DELICIOUS!
As Paul Manafort pointed out, Cruz is playing word games.
He is not talking about first round delegates.
He’s talking about those who might honor some financial deal they’ve made with him on the second ballot.
But, better to deal with a winner and a reward than to deal with a financial reward from a guy who doesn’t bring home the prize.
There is no possibility then of real appreciate farther down the line.
AND, I think it will rub off on California
************
Agree. His rising delegate count creates a momentum of its own.
1237 is the number needed to avoid all the convention shenanigans...
And the ‘values’ comment says he doesn’t care at all for Northeasterners. I think the west coasters realize it applies to them, too.
That’s Ted’s plan all along. Lose the Solid South, Lose the Northeast, Lose the West Coast - make it up on the back end backroom deals.
***************
Cruz never understood that those backroom deals were, in the end, going to backfire on him. After the RNC had used him he was going to be disgarded like a spent cigarette butt.
