Good analysis of the primary and the race for the Republican nomination.

The article is unfair to Cruz in parts.

Cruz no longer deserves fairness.

You mean Ted who gets a thundering 22 people in his audience hasn’t got a mandate?

To be fair, Cruz needs to drop out

Nobody likes a spoiler

Cruz is not yet mathematically knocked out, just realistically knocked out of a first round win. Trump got about what he needed to still try for a first round win. He needs about 400 of the approximately 700 remaining. Tag line not current.

So what percentage of the remaining delegates must he win to get to 1,237? I have a better chance of winning the lottery than Cruz does to get to 1,237. By April 26th, there is no more math needed.

Trump needs 53% of the remaining 734 delegates.

Cruz is not mathematically eliminated until Trump gets to 1237.

Yesterday I mocked Trump for repeating over and over he wants to unite party and then proceeds to insult everyone and their wives. A Trumpster replied that Trump meant unite the grass roots, a stretch for sure but I will take him at his word. Now today I see over and over Trump supporters continue with mocking graphics and end zone dancing and wonder if the supporters got the message of uniting the party. For sure I am more turned off by Trump supporters than Trump himself- I speak for many on this.

When did he have the nose job? It looks considerably
shorter than it did when he first surfaced.

He also had his animated eyebrows botoxed...so that cant move.

Cruz has no realistic chance of reaching 1,237 and you know it.

But keep carrying GOPe water.

There are always lots of you in every election cycle here.

640 of 700. He needs about 92%. Not realistic. Trump needs 390, or about 56%. He needs to step up his p as certain for a first b as lot win.

Eye Of The Tiger

Risin’ up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

[Chorus]
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge
Of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the
Eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin’ tough, stayin’ hungry
They stack the odds
Still we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive

[Chorus]

Risin’ up straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance
Now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

[Chorus]

The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger

Dedicated to all the Trump Supporters...stay strong, stay focused, and Vote Trump!!!

Trump has to win IN and 35 of 53 CA CDs. Not that easy.

Trump wins for the first time in a month and the world is suddenly different. 70% of Americans still hate him.

And between now and next Tuesday there will be 69 more delegates that will be identified. And that will remind everyone that Cruz will win on second ballot.

“Trump wins for the first time in a month and the world is suddenly different. 70% of Americans still hate him”.

Well, considering Trump is 13-18 points ahead of Cruz, what does that say about Cruz.
