So he took another swipe at the northeast.

Is his strategy to be hated by EVERYONE!

Trump won the southern states too. Someone said “well, that’s because there were 17 people or ted would have won”

That could be said for any of the other 15. And it would be wrong for all of them.

Trump is going to be president.

It’s time to call Wisconsin for what is was: an extinction burst.

“Cruz maintains that as the coming contests move westward, his campaign will have a better showing,”

Better showing for what? To steal the nomination? He is disgrace to himself and his state. Useless.

[MaxistheBest]

The big myth is that North East conservatives are less conservative than Southern or Western conservatives. I spent half my life in MA. It ain’t so!!

[Maelstorm]

Trump won nearly all of the south save Oklahoma and Texas I suppose its full of liberals too. :-) Its really hard to have any respect for Cruz at this point. Even Santorum was a bigger man than this. Kasich and Cruz are putting themselves before party and country.

[vpintheak]

It has become clear that Trump is the GOP nomination.
Get in line folks. Support Trump over Hillary!

[heights]

The ‘Principled Conservative’, should let it be. Bow out with some dignity..

[t4texas]

He’s not a Texan in any way, shape, or form. All hat no cattle (or voters!) I doubt that after the disaster that WAS his bid to be the Republican nominee he will even be re-elected to his current position as senator. Little Marco deserves the same fate.

Cruz is a joke! And not a funny one either. Well except maybe the way he looks, sounds, and thinks . . .

[HLPhat]

Hmm.  Another whoopin'.  Why is God not favoring this guy?

Maybe it has to do with the notion that God's not on board with the whole "dominionist" thing.

Christian Reconstructionism

An Evaluation from the Theological Perspective of

The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod

October 2015

History, Beliefs, Practices

Identity:

Christian Reconstructionism, also called Theonomy (“God’s law”) or Dominionism

[snip]

A Lutheran Response

“The heavens are the LORD’s heavens, but the earth he has given to the children of man” (Ps. 115:16).

God appointed men and women as stewards—managers or caretakers—of the earth: “You have given

[man] dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen,

and also the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the

paths of the seas” (Ps. 8:6-8). The command to “have dominion” is not given to Christians alone, but to

all people. It is not a matter of political control, but of caring for God’s creation and using its resources to

provide for human needs (Gen. 1:28-29; Gen. 9:1-3).

 

Christians are not called to work for worldwide political dominion. Dominion already belongs to our

crucified and risen Lord, to whom all authority in heaven and on earth has been given and who

commanded us to make disciples of all nations (Matt. 28:18-20). His worldwide mission is not a matter of

claiming political and economic dominion, but of proclaiming repentance and forgiveness of sins in His

name (Luke 24:46-47).

 

The Lutheran Confessions reject the belief that “before the resurrection of the dead the godly will take

possession of the kingdom of the world, while the ungodly are suppressed everywhere.”15 Christ’s

kingdom is spiritual, but it permits us “to make outward use of legitimate political ordinances of whatever

nation in which we live, just as it permits us to make use of medicine or architecture or food, drink, and

air. Neither does the gospel introduce new laws for the civil realm. Instead, it commands us to obey the

present laws, whether they have been formulated by pagans or by others, and urges us to practice love

through this obedience.”16 The Church, the spiritual power, “should not invade an alien office. It should

not set up and depose kings. It should not annul or disrupt secular law and obedience to political

authority. It should not make or prescribe laws for the secular power concerning secular affairs. For Christ

himself said [John 18:36]: ‘My kingdom is not from this world.’”
