Clearly basic math is not some Cruz supporters strong point.

Sad, really. Otherwise bright, intelligent, well informed and engaged people who refuse to see reality that the GOP-E must be torn down rather than aligned with in order to "win at any cost."

Then maybe Hillary happens.

I hope not. We'll see in November.

But Trump can't put Cruz on the ticket. The whole Birther thing has made that a impossibility. And Cruz wouldn't want it even if Trump could. His ambitions are sized for the presidency and not the vice-presidency.

Unfortunately Teddy Cruz has burned too many bridges. Stupid of him. Instead of promoting himself, Cruz keeps attacking Trump, resorting to stupid name-calling. As if Trump is in his head constantly. Weird.

Just yesterday, after his speech, which was quite good until he again felt compelled to attack Trump, he accused Trump of being biased against Muslims. I am beginning to wonder about Curz's mental state.

Then the mainstream media -- which has been giving him lavish coverage and acceding to his unusual demands for telephone interviews and non-mobile cameras -- will likely join the Democrats in unleashing attack after attack. That probably won't help!

Huh?

So, I guess we're supposed to have a nominee the media will like?

Why? After Utah tonight, Cruz disappears...until Montana in June.

Trump deserved to attacked on the neutrality thing.

Hillary destroyed Trump over this. Trump is having a hard time after destroying the republican party, starting with Scott Walker.

Cruz is doing a better job of unifying folks.

I think Hillary is going to win.

These polls and their hysterical hyping by establishment dogs like Barone have one objective. Drive down Trump's numbers in the primaries. They believe that if they can convince enough voters that Trump has no chance against Hillary they will drive his voters to Cruz or Kasich.

It's not going to work!

It’s stupid to predict the future 6 months from now with polls.

Exactly. The grasping at straws by the beta male wing of the GOP continues.

Those are BS poll numbers that Clinton leads Trump but Cruz leads Clinton.

If that were true, Cruz would not be a million primary votes and nearly 271 delegates behind Trump.

Kasich and Cruz are both slightly above Trump against Hillary according to these polls. The difference, Trump has had almost 300 million in negative ads against him, 2 political parties attacking him and the msm calling him Hotel. fascist and totalitarian for the last month while The other haven’t been touched at leasbSince SC. So all in all he’s doing really really well. Not that the numbers really matter at this point

That is why it is stupid to assume that trump will be the nominee just because he has 678 delegates right now from the 1237 that are needed and if he does get the 1237 delegates that is no guarantee that he gets the 270 electoral votes that he needs to win the election.

You know the rats can't win an honest election and will do anything to make sure Hillary Rotten Clinton will be the next president.

Who thinks it’s going to be a slam dunk? It’s going to be a tough fight. I simply think Trump is the best candidate to beat her. But it’s not going to be easy.

Funny how all of these liberal MSM, ROPe, Dems and liberals all claim he can’t win; these are the same ones who claimed he would be out before the first primary.., if it is such a slam dunk that Hillary beats Trump easily, why all of the protest and negative articles? They should be celebrating instead of protesting...

These loons tics can hold their breath and keep telling themselves the big lie. Beck said to Mormons that evangelicals on the South did not listen to the voice of God when they voted for Trump

Cruz and his messianic behavior and followers have convinced me that outside of Hillary he is the most dangerous guy in the room
