Is there an implied /sarcasm tag, or are you really that deranged?

There won’t be enough delegates left to win for him to reach that number, that is why he isn’t even trying to pretend to win the majority.

Actually it is very likely, and no way Trump loses those GOP States.

So, tell me what swing States do you think Cruz is going to win without the Trump voters?

No that isn't going to happen, he can't steal votes from the electoral college like he does delegates from corrupt State GOP organizations.

If Cruz was such a genius, he would do a better job of getting voters to his cause and winning delegates outright...seeing as how he is 2 million votes behind Trump, and 200 delegates behind, I would hardly call him a genius...more like sneaky.

Trump on the other hand has made history by having no political background and winning by spending the least amount of money by far.

Spending less but getting more results is what I call genius.

Change positions?

Cruz was a free trader and now he is a 'fair trader'.

Cruz just copies every position Trump takes and then claims he always held it.

Debates are not everything in winning an election. First of all, you have to get people to watch the debates. Few democrats will watch other than the academic types; they will watch just to confirm their intellectual superiority and the rightness of their decision to vote for Hillary; nothing the republican says will carry any weight with them whatsoever! The only way the independents, and rank and file democrat Hillary voter will watch the debate is if it is Trump doing the debating. So, no matter how wonderful a debater Cruz may be, it won’t matter. You want to see Hillary destroyed in a debate, it has to be with Trump! It won’t be elegant, it won’t be done a rapier, as Cruz would do; Trump will do it with a sledge hammer, it will be quite brutal but very effective! Hillary will be mortally wounded. She won’t leave those debates a viable candidate when Trump is done with her. On the other hand, no matter how good Cruz is, he will only be able to inflict a flesh wound, because no one whose mind might be changed by it will be watching it, and the press will be able to Laslow Cruz. With Trump on the podium, I think the hand of God’s judgement will descend upon Hillary Clinton! She will wish she had decided just to stay home and enjoy the riches of her misspent corrupt life and her grandchildren (neither of which she deserves.)

Can’t run a campaign, can’t run a country.

That is simple minded BS!

Trump is getting 37% of the popular vote and 30% of the delegates so far. Cruz is getting 28% of the popular vote and 22% of the delegates. Not much difference between them.

Results of the Rep primaries

I think the operative word here is “scheme”. Ted Cruz is now reduced to engaging in loser level antics to steal delegate for a second ballot at the RNC convention which will never come. He has no chance to win as Trump is getting ready to schlonge him in all the NE primaries and likely Indiana as well. Trump is leading in CA and will likely take that state as well. Bottom line is that Trump will have 1237 delegates by June 7th or so close to it that he only has to woo a few of the unbound delegates to his side before the convention. Cruz is headed for the locker room soon after April 26th.

Gotta love it - "brains over bull!!!

Cruz and team create relationships with delegates - Trump threatens chaos over publicizing personal phone and room numbers of delegates that won't vote for Trump - all the while claiming Cruz campaign uses Nazi-like tactics!

You're clearly giving yourself and your leader far, far too much credit if you think thug tactics will split apart the Republican Party because your leader failed to learn what each state election process is - just like Trump and his kids didn't know they had to register as Republican to vote for their dad!

Ha! Ha!

What an idiot or is he merely another narcisstic bully like Obama?

It is would be UTTERLY immortal for Trump not to make an issue if he believes cheating and fraud has occurred; indeed if he does not make an issue of it, he surely has cheated and defrauded the people who may have been cheated and defrauded! The tone of voice he uses (you call it whining) is entirely totally irrelevant, not even worth mentioning.

What is important that he immediately raises the issue when there is a question of a dishonest act occurring, anything else makes him a dishonest and corrupt man. It is not an honorable act to allow yourself to be the silent victim of corruption, when others are victimized as well.

You are utterly in the wrong to obscure this issue with this silly misdirection of “whining” when something so evil could be happening in this election! Rather, you should be concerned whether or not cheating and fraud is happening, or could happen, whether or not this election is honest, whether the people have an honest vote, and whether the candidates of their choosing are receiving their honest votes!

Shame, shame, shame on you for your sneers, for saying a such thing, instead of calling for an investigation and/or safeguards to be put into place to ensure that there is no cheating and no fraud!
