I’m glad that someone finds my nonsense amusing. There can be some tough crowds at FR.
Lou Dobbs retweeted this poll?
I wonder if he browses here.
(Hi Lou)
Nyuk, nyuk.
Yeah, it's me who's living in fantasy land. Tell me, which primary state in April, besides Wisconsin, do believe Teddy is going to win? New York? Where's he's trailing by 30-something point? Pennsylvania? Where's he down eighteen? Do CT, DE, MD, RI sound like Cruz states to you?
No matter how much do you don't like it: Cruz's only real shot at a primary win in the month of April is Wisconsin. He's going to be mathematically eliminated from being able to reach 1,237 in a couple of weeks. Deal with it.
Good luck trying to speak reason to a lot of these cruzers. Good post, but i fear it may have been wasted as most cruzers by now are his most ardent and bull headed supporters.
I’m joining you in those prayers
Yes, let’s bypass the candidates connected to ultra-rich donors and go directly with one of the ultra-rich donors himself.
What could possibly go wrong?
Interesting.
It isn’t Cruz backers squealing to the tune of every conspiracy theory. The lack of logic is quite squarely in your corner.
Polls are all over the place ... tomorrow is the only poll that matters.
No kidding
It kind of dawned on me last night
They are not really Cruz bots
They are stop Trump bots
Well I’m encouraged that even though Trump may not win he will hopefully still get a good number of delegates out of it.

Actually, despite the extreme vitriol that has been going on I have been getting mostly positive responses back from Cruz supporters. Most already realize that Cruz is not going to get a majority of delegates before the convention. Many do not seem to realize that it will be mathematically impossible for Cruz to reach a majority in just two or three weeks.
Their big hope is that Trump will not reach a majority before the convention either and on the “second ballot” that Cruz will win. Realistically, there is no way that this is going to happen. The establishment support that Cruz is currently getting will poof, disappear once they do not need him anymore. Statements that have been made by Carl Rove, Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, Reince Priebus, Lindsay Graham, Mitch McConnell and the rest have all said repeatedly that Cruz will not get the nomination at the convention. Some have changed their tune in the last week or two.
Romney campaigned with Kasich in Ohio and then a couple days later was campaigning with Cruz in Utah. In Tennessee the GOP not only wouldn’t allow Trump and Cruz supporters to be delegates, they wouldn’t even allow them in the party meeting. It will be the same all across the country. The way that convention delegates are picked has everything to do with who has been a longtime party stooge and has almost nothing to do with which candidate you are initially obligated to support. If no one reaches a majority before the convention then the party bosses will pick the nominee and it will not be Cruz or Trump. Anyone who believes otherwise is deluding themselves.
We need to start working together now. The time for insults and bludgeoning one another is over. I am actually more guilty than most, but the tone of our efforts has got to change now. We need everyone on board. It no longer matters who started it, or who is the most conservative. The primary is too far along. At this point everyone needs to take a hard look at the likely outcome.
The concerns of Cruz supporters must be addressed and they must be treated with courtesy and respect. Trump is going to need to give them something in return for their support. He knows this and I think that he will. In the last few days he has already signaled that he is going to be taking the high road in the future. This is a good start. He should also praise Cruz’s intellect and conservative credentials and promise to nominate him to take Scalia’s place on the Supreme Court.
Once Cruz no longer has any mathematical way to get a majority of the delegates before the convention he should acknowledge this. I pray that Cruz will come to the realization that the cabal of GOP establishment that have recently started supporting him will not be loyal at the convention. He is young, he is intellect is spectacular, he played the game well, there will be other opportunities, but if the establishment is allowed to steal the nomination at the convention it will mean disaster for the country.
Sorry, forgot to italicize the first sentence.
Try Brietbart or Gateway Pundit some time.........YIKES!!
