Cruz and Rubio are in it for vanity and not the good of the country. They cannot win, but will not support Trump and the press plays up the two contenders because they do not want Trump to win.

The battle against Clinton is going to be fierce and the GOP is acting like a high school clique touting their prom queens.

Oh yeah that’s another one! She’s going to portray herself as this savior of women and forget it, he is going to absolutely destroy her on that. There’s really nothing she can do to get an edge over him other than lie, I mean really what can she do? Nothing!

Cruz, who beat Trump in two states, might hone his message, find his footing, and make his move.

I thought the current run of ceaseless lies was his new footing, which is really much like the ceaseless lies of his old footing. Heard his voice on the tv while I was out making coffee this morning... so awful I had to go in and change the channel.

Too late now. They are now fully on the OPPOSITE side of the ‘will of the electorate’, which (whether they like it or not) will expose them to be the irrational selfish ego-power hungry hypocrites that they are.

Have you not heard the new, new new... master plan to beat Donald Trump?

Jeb bush is changing his name by to Jeb Clinton he will them switch to Democrat and be the Democrat party nominee after Hillary gets arrested by the FBI. It can't fail!

I think if you’re Cruz, you desperately want a two man race between you and Trump to have a chance. He needs Rubio out. So from what I see, you’d want Trump to win FL to deal a death-blow to Rubio. You’d want Kasich to win OH to prevent Trump from amassing too many delegates.

However I’m not sure Rubio is ever getting out. But, admittedly as a rank amateur, I don’t see how Cruz gets the nomination as long as Rubio remains.

"I can’t wait till Trump starts in on Hillary, it’s going to be absolutely mind blowing what he does to her."

Dream on. Do you actually think the media will showcase any takedowns of their heroine? If Trump gets the nomination, he'll be attacked like every other GOP candidate for the past century. The media has LOTS if ammunition available, too. Hillary will get a complete pass. And bellowing "liar, liar" will gain him zilch on a debate, too. Look what the media did to Lazio for simply asking Hillary to sign a statement in a debate. Lazio became a disgusting chauvinist pig for simply "invading Hillary's space".

I don’t understand this obsession of “taking down Trump”.

Podhoretz is one of those bitter enders still stuck in the denial phase of grief.

I suspect this is the product of his income from NYPost (they hate Trump and want negative articles about him...enter Podhoretz).

It's so nice to see the so-called conservative media focusing their attention on taking down Hillary. Oh wait. They're not attacking Hillary, they're attacking our front runner. the ONLY person in the race who's focusing any attention on beating Clinton is Trump...and he's the one the Republican's want to take down. Very telling.

I hope there's going to be a day of reckoning for ALL the jackasses.

Even in that scenario, Kasich would probably become the new GOPe and draw too many votes away from Cruz elsewhere.

It’s unreal isn’t it, you would think they would be happy over the fact that they got a guy with a good chance of beating Hillary and preventing his country from sinking further into the abyss, but no, all they care about are themselves which is why THEY need to go, not Trump.

I agree that it's a long-shot. I just don't see a better path unless somebody thinks Cruz can win FL or OH.

True. What the fool's fail to understand that it's not only Trump they're attacking...it's his millions of supporters. They're attacking me. I've been a Republican all my adult life. I've donated thousands of dollars over the 30 years...well in excess of ten thousand. For me, that's a LOT of money. Yet as far as the leadership of my party is concerned, I don't matter and what I want from them doesn't mean squat. I've known this for the last 15 years or so but now they're finally saying it out loud. Well, they can all go to hell. When this is all over there will be hell to pay.

I don't mind when Cruz or Rubio take a legitimate shot at Trump, they're running too. But when the entire GOP affiliated media attack him day after day it's really starts to get under one's skin.

CNN just released another poll showing Hillary soundly thumps Trumps a$$ in the general and Cruz or Rubio both beat her hind end. Just another in a long line of polls showing the same thing.

It's a poll of Registered voters, translation, it's meaningless.

Until Rubio quits the race this will go on. As long as there is a GOPe hopeful out there the fight to take down Trump will continue.

They don’t think he’d be much better than Hillary.
