Which may be why Cruz is going all out to win Florida. I’m guessing that if he loses to Trump in Florida that he drops out and endorses Trump.

He has already said that he thought Rubio would be better than Trump.

..Which may be why Cruz is going all out to win Florida....

He just opened 10 offices in Florida this week. Not enough of an effort to win there. If he were rely committed,this would havehappenedmuchbearlier. He can’t at this late date. His new strategy is to pull enough votes from Rubio to create a disaster for him in Florida, his home state, and make this a two man Race.

Cruz is going all out to win in Fl because he knows that if Rubio wins they go to a brokered convention and both he and Trump would be odd men out. He also knows that once they knock out Trump from contention, he would be the next target.

My guess is if Trump is a few hundred delegates short of the 1,237 mark, Cruz and Trump will cut a deal. I still think Trump takes it on the first ballot due to the 40(b) rule, but getting to 1,237 would put the nail in the coffin for the GOP establishment.

What makes you think Cruz is going all out to win Florida? He should but that's not happening. He's fully understand that he will lose Florida. I can't tell that he even has a strong organization in FL.

Probably a rumor started by Trump backers to create some kind of atmosphere of rolling over the competition. I believe Trump will win Florida in a significant way. AFAIK, and can see locally, lots of union workers have changed party over the last few months to support Trump, whither they vote that way in the general is anybodies guess. Most probably see him as a Democrat that they could cast a vote for as a Republican as well, he has that dog whistle the Democrats can hear but many conservatives seem to be blind to. So it goes.

Cruz has already said that Marco is his friend and that he and Marco are the only ones qualified to be President. Why would he endorse Trump?

See this interview starting around 4 minutes

Forcing TRUMP to pick one of these stinkers to close the win, is a bummer.

Rubio and Cruz are both ambitious to a clinical proportion, having accomplished nothing in the real world, but expanding titles and “climbing” to increasing political thrust.

Trust would be dead with either of them because of it.

Paul Ryan is another danger lurking. He is USCCB all the way, with Wall Street next to them. Ryan is Open borders and North American Union right along with Ted and Rubio.

I’m guessing that as a Consitutionalist, he never, ever endorsed Trump.

No, Cruz is just saying this now because he wants the anti-establishment label. He would be singing a different tune at a brokered convention.

Stone said that Ohio and Florida are already showing all sorts of voting irregularities.

Also, they've had 600 complaints in Texas mostly for Trump vites turning to Rubio that they are looking at.

You’re right...this is his FINAL CHANCE to prove he really is an outsider. If he stays in after losing, then we know he actually does want a brokered convention. If not, then he’s definitely one of us, after all.

That would be the smart move IF Cruz wants to have a future on the national stage, not to mention if he cares about our country at least a smidgen more than himself.

IF Cruz were to drop out, and I don’t think he will even if he loses Florida, I don’t think he’ll make an endorsement until there’s more evidence of what the party is going to do. Cruz has to be careful to think about his political future.

Now wait a minute. If Cruz is really doing this in Florida, wouldn't that be to prevent Rubio from winning? No way is Cruz going to take more votes away from Trump than Rubio.

This, along with the comment about the brokered convention, really look like a yuuge change meant to send the message, "me or Trump". I don't see how he wins, but I respect the notion.
