“Well, since he has allowed Trump supporters to stay on who have vowed to vote for the Dems up and down the ballot if Trump is not nominated,” <>/u>

To what do you attribute Ted Cruz's slide in the polls, both national and state, in the aftermath of the Wisconsin primary?

It seems to me that it's the Colorado delegate theft, which was basically the only thing of significance that happened after Wisconsin.

Colorado Delegates Speak Out On The Steal

But I'm open to suggestions as to what could be the cause for Ted Cruz's obvious post-Wisconsin decline in the polls.

Ted Cruz has lost. He has now been mathematically eliminated from securing a delegate majority before the convention, and he will limp into the convention itself with fewer than 2/3 of the needed delegates. His fantasy of garnering the nomination, if successful, would irreparably splinter the party, and guarantee a GOP defeat in November.

As Newt Gingrich so aptly noted, that's simply not going to happen. Not even the crooked GOPe is that stupid.

The Revolution is ON!

Vote Trump

It is a banality to say that the Republican establishment opposes Trump. I don't know why it is necessary to say that the Republican establishment also opposes Cruz and with better reason. But that banality requires some sense of proportion, the failure of Donald Trump to secure grassroots conservative activist support is almost entirely unrelated to the opposition to Trump by the establishment. These people are not cutting deals with K St., they are not intimate with Mitch McConnell, these are ideologically committed conservatives who for the most part make their living outside of politics and they see in Ted Cruz a real conservative and they see something repugnant in Donald Trump.

To argue that Donald Trump is actually a victim of a campaign of victimization is sheer projection. I have been an adamant opponent of Donald Trump because of his character failings and I know damn well that I'm not a member of the Republican establishment. Donald trumps failings are real, his opponents need not invent anything to victimize him, they need only review his biography. I have catalogued over and over for readers generally and for you in particular the myriad disqualifying incidents and character traits of Donald Trump. Donald Trump has not been demonized, he has been exposed.

There is no reason to believe that the party will be splintered just because Cruz gets the nomination. If the party is so splintered it is because Trump partisans decline to unite with the party nominee. Somehow this is accepted as legitimate behavior. To turn your face away from the fact that the nomination of Donald Trump is likely to splitter the party is to indulge in willful blindness. Those who will not support Donald Trump will do so because they are offended by the man and he has only himself to blame, not the Republican establishment, not the conservative grassroots, but his own big mouth. By way of one example among many, it's is not just feminists, not just Democrat women, not just single women, but staunch conservative women who are utterly offended by Donald Trump. 75% of women when nothing to do with the man and that is not the fault of the Republican establishment, it is certainly not the fault of Ted Cruz, the fault is not in the stars but in Donald Trump himself.

I reject entirely your supposition:

So, to summarize, you cheer for a scenario in which Ted Cruz swipes the nomination from Donald Trump, splinters the party, destroys voter enthusiasm, and goes on to lose in a landslide in November.

Another supposition for which there is utterly no evidence but, indeed, real evidence to the contrary is your projection that trump's narcissism "would not attempt such mayhem." The facts to the contrary are that Donald Trump has more than once threatened to bolt the party, perhaps run as a third-party candidate but in any event throw a spanner into the works and prevent the election of a Republican candidate. It is Trump who has made these threats not Cruz. There is no warrant for any suggestion that the opposite of these facts will obtain.

I reject emphatically your assertion that "Ted Cruz has exhibited his selfishness and lack of character repeatedly throughout his campaign." Every allegation from those beginning in Iowa to those in Colorado are false, unfounded, and propaganda actions of the Trump. The attacks against Ted Cruz have falsely accused him of adultery, scurrilous lay a maligned his religious faith, and insinuated that his father is guilty of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Nothing approaches that degree of malicious lying against an opponent can be credibly associated with Cruz.

I will be in America next week where I will be no better off to judge the situation than I am from here in Germany. I have access to the same sources of information that you do. If you live in Texas you are hardly talking to people who are in Massachusetts. You get your information from the same sources I do and I'm in no worse position geographically to form these opinions. I trust unlike other Trump supporters you are not insinuating some lack of patriotism.

I still await hearing from you whether you will support Cruz if he is nominated?

.....”Trump’s supporters ‘choose’ to really believe him. So it’s intelligent dishonesty by Trump and ignorant honesty from his supporters.... And by such means have so many disreputable men come to power”......

I think it goes further then just believing him...they believe “IN” him and that’s why this is leading into the waters which will ultimately shipwreck them, because Trump is like a boat tossed in a storm as his positions change back and forth like being tossed in a wave. And that’s because when he interviews foremost to him is “sounding” like he’s right whether he is or not is not significant to him.

W R O N G... Trump does NOT tell me what to believe, Trump speak allows for 'we the people' to figure out that the political class has NO power over bathrooms... Bathroom usage will require planning. Course Cruz would be the perfect port-a-potty supervisor.

Basically you favor utter chaos, combined with the whimsical belief that (magically, mind you) Ted Cruz, whom the voters have soundly rejected, will somehow unify a party whose elite have done everything in thir power to thwart their own frontrunner.

And there you have it. Good comment. This is the same exact arrogant attitude the D.C. party groupies have, which is, to hell with the voters and what the people want, because they know whats better. It's very similar to how nate pops off with his wordy comments, as he desperately attempts to say something profound. But reality is, when ya dig through his wordy comments, he's simply parroting the corrupt insiders. "Screw you people, do as we say, we know better".

Unfortunately for them, we've seen their job performance and what decades of their loser leadership have done for America.

When you add to that Trump has alienated virtually every demographic group and for that we know that Hillary will take 60% of the female vote, 80% Hispanic and 98% black. He’ll be lucky to get 30% of the under 30 vote because the Millennials hate him....That will be impossible to overcome in the General Election if he’s our Nominee..
