AP declares Cruz mathematically eliminated from first-ballot delegate race
The Hill ^ | April 20, 2016 | Jessie Hellmann

Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz is mathematically eliminated from winning the GOP nomination on the first ballot, according to the Associated Press.

GOP front-runner Donald Trump is now the only Republican candidate who can clinch the nomination before the GOP convention in July, as there aren’t enough remaining delegates for either Cruz or John Kasich to reach the 1,237 threshold.

Geez. I wonder why no one has declared Kasich “eliminated” and called for him to drop out?

The death spiral begins. And no Unicorn will bring a magical second ballot.

Cruz won’t quit.
His mission is simply to stop Trump from getting to 1237.
The Cheap Labor Express is owed an amnesty candidate
The RNC/GOP must deliver what they have been paid for.
The most important thing in this election to the RNC/GOP is blocking the citizens from electing anyone who would stop the Cheap Labor Express.

If you count one election, he is. Why is he even in the race? No way he can get to 1237.

The man has never done this before - he’s running as an insurgent in the corrupt GOPe and has taken on almost everyone - the media, the rats, the GOPe, the behind the scenes powerful who make the real decisions. This is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.

Well, it was a gallant effort Ted

I assume with Pac Money , Radio Hosts , Voter less delegates you did as best you could.

I saw one figure where 500 Million was spent on Anti Trump, at least 7 Million on radio hosts and countless on Robo Calls even up to last night against Kasich.

Well I guess it's back to the Senate.

I don't see beating Hillary nor Trump with less than 20% of the Primary Vote in Florida, Virginia , New York where you didn't get a Delegate you surly don't think you can win where in those States you couldn't even win a County.

You mean except for everyone here, right?

I was just reading an article showing some of the inconsistencies Cruz has in his stated background. Among them, his father has a fake name and birthday. Another is Cruz may not even be a Canadian citizen, as he was already a Cuban one because of his father and Canada does not accept dual citizenships. Has anyone else heard these things?

As pointed out many times last evening, Cruz has stopped calling for Kasich to drop out.

Cruz desperately needs Kasich to stay in.
