RE: Cruz cannot win. Period.

Are you referring to the GOP nomination or the general elections?

Why should they? The burden of proof is on who makes the accusation, and since this was a Herman Cain-like hit piece on Ted Cruz, what matters is Cruz has long denied this smear, as has his wife.

The fact so many people lust for any syllable emanating from those pathetic excuses for “publications” is a sad comment on their tenuous-at-best grasp on reality.

BTW, my last comment was rhetorical, and not directed at you..

You're welcome to tag them with the "yellow journalism" label.

Otherwise, you may fill out a FR butthurt report:

Until it happens voters cant see for themselves. Now we see.

However did the dumb old bumbling oaf Trump get the BRILLIANT Kim Jong Cruz to stumble into the Colorado Tar-Baby?

LOL!

Very cute.

I notice you don’t refute my point.

RE: either

Then we’re screwed. Unless Hillary gets indicted, the polls look like Trump is going to get a major thrashing in the general.

67% disapproval is a huge mountain to climb, especially for someone people know.

You don't have a point.

Use your keyboard. Are your fingers broken?

Apparently I have to explain it to you, trumpette, but I won’t, because you won’t understand it anyway.

“Then we’re screwed. Unless Hillary gets indicted, the polls look like Trump is going to get a major thrashing in the general.”

The trumpettes aren’t interested in victory. Their sole objective is the destruction of the GOP.

Cruzbonics is a primitive language. I have trouble with the grunts, sometimes.

The surprising thing is that breaking wind is actually part of the language...

How interesting, since grunting and screeching are the signature sounds of the trumpanzee “communicative” process.

If somebody didn’t educate themselves on that process, or they weren’t very good at working through that process, so be it,” he says. “That’s life, and that’s politics.”

Ted Cruz says to the American people

RE: Ted Cruz “Your Vote Doesn’t Count”

Is it “fair” that Trump should receive all fifty delegates in South Carolina with only 32.5% of the vote, while Marco Rubio receives less than half of Minnesota’s delegates though winning with 36.5% of the vote, and while Ted Cruz receives only 60% of the delegates in Kansas despite earning 48.2% of the vote?

Is it “fair” that Trump gets 100% of the delegates for 45.7% of the vote (1,077,221 votes) in Florida, while Cruz gets only 67% of the delegates for 43.8% of the vote (1,239,370 votes) in Texas, or 52% of the delegates for 45.9% of the vote in Maine?

Shouldn’t other candidates be whining about the unfairness of these Trump-friendly results? No — because they knew the rules, just as Trump knew the rules in Colorado.

Trump has benefitted from open primaries in which Democrats are, for reasons unfathomable to mere mortals, allowed to participate in a GOP nominating process. (When a private business is electing its new CEO, does it invite the boards of directors of other companies to participate in the voting?) The most obvious case was perhaps Missouri, where Trump and Cruz finished in a virtual dead heat, 40.8% to 40.6%, and yet Trump’s 0.2% advantage earned him twelve extra delegates for the statewide win. Without Democrats, the popular vote would likely have gone to Cruz, resulting in a twenty-four delegate swing in Cruz’s favor. (It’s impossible to verify party affiliations from exit polls, but the Missouri exit poll estimates 5% of voters as Democrats, and shows Trump winning self-described “moderates” by almost two to one over Cruz.)

To make a long story short — the JPG you posted is baloney.
