I should mention that one explanation for Cruz’s obstinance could be the fact that his father PROPHESIED that he would be president (”a king to reign over America”). His supporters (like David Limbaugh) deny that St. Ted ever really bought this-—but I think otherwise. I think in fact Cruz fully believed his father’s prophecy and now, to admit he has lost, will be more than a political defeat. It would be a complete disproving of his father’s prophecy.
That may be way harder to swallow than a political loss.
Me too. Biggest loser of the election year. Sorry Jeb.
Thanks for your post.

Outstanding analysis LS. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I fully support Trump and his choices!
GO TRUMP / PENCE !!!
Now let’s kick Hillary’s despicable arse !!!!
Excellent writeup! Thank you.
Because it offends the Mohammedans
As far as Cruz goes, his father is a fake, Cruz is a fake, the only thing that is true is his father came from Cuba, Ted was born in Canada and Ted has a mother...anything else beyond that I don't except...
He said he didn't know he was a Canadian citizen, he denounced it and now he doesn't have a Country to belong to...
The people of Texas are smart people, they won't make this mistake twice!!!
“Cruz: This guy continues to mystify me. He’s supposed to be smart.”
“Ted” (not his real name) Cruz is a PR illusion. A construct. A synthetic man-that-never-was.
He is a false front operation to gull naive conservatives into supporting neocon globalism.
That “Ted” is “smart” is just one of the facades of this particular Potemkin village, and one of the more rickety facades at that.
islam is a criminal enterprise tenuously held together by a preponderance of ignorance and the threat of violence.
Also worthy of mentioning: Polling is probably highly-skewed because of the ANTI-TRUMP CONDESCENSION in the media and in people’s social groups.
So many people, will probably say “Undecided” if polled, rather than “Trump” - when asked. Peer pressure, polling pressure.
I have a hunch the Trump numbers are far greater than the polls show...
“There WILL be some talk of impeaching Trump the minute he does something decent (Moslem ban, building the Wall). This will go nowhere UNLESS there are a bunch of GOPe types who think they can get the veep to go along with the coup. “
ok, you talked me into Pence.
Pence was not my first or second choice, but there’s a reason Donald J. Trump is on top of the world and I’m not.
He’s been my guy for 13 months, I trust him completely.
Let’s roll!
Perhaps Pence can dislodge Fredo Cruz and his pony show attraction to the radical Beck type “conservatives”.
Cruz needs competition in that department.
Dana Bash is reporting at midnight last night TRUMP wanted out of this Pence pick. The Pence pick pleased Ryan and daily caller reports he will make a good “YES” man.

Thank you, LS. I always enjoy your analysis. You work hard.
Good post.
