At this point Trump has won about a third of the GOP vote. Cruz has won about 28%. That leaves about 45% that have so far gone to candidates other than Trump or Cruz. And we are still not done getting all the votes yet.
The difference between Trump and Cruz is about 8% of the GOP or about 4% of the total voters. Tell me how Trump can win on a difference of 4% or with only 37% of the GOP?
So now for the insults I normally get because I have a different view on things.
Ever hear of independent and crossover voters? They are also part of "the total voters."
Percentage-wise, that's 30% more votes than Cruz's total.
It's clear who the voters' preference is.
Only by relying on the GOPe, and adopting it's tactics and propaganda, has Ted Cruz been able to prop his campaign up.
Cruz is the furthest thing from an outsider at this point. He's accepted endorsements from people who despise him, and he has hired Neil friggin' Bush for his finance team. Cruz has alligned himself with the traitorous Mitt Romney.
It just goes on and on.
Look how Ted Cruz did in swing states like FL and OH: 17% in Florida, 13% in Ohio!
At this point, are you seriously trying to convince people that Ted Cruz is a viable national candidate?
Whether it's popular vote, key states, voter enthusiasm, outside status, or demographic factors, Ted Cruz just can't get it done.
My God! A blind man could see this with a cane...

No critique other than your math skills. 37 + 28 = 65, leaving 35%.
Count the votes (from the states where people are allowed to vote - the real votes - not the delegates selected by insider party elite) coming up in the next 3 weeks and ask your question again
Early on Trump won because 16 people were splitting the other than trump vote. Trumps mouth has caused him to lose support in some of the states he won. That”s why he’s worried about delegates leaving him. It wouldn’t had mattered if it was Cruz or any of the other candidates ahead of him. Cruz just had done the hard work over a year ago, so Cruz must be destroyed. It could have been Walker, Rubio or Carson. People hate his bullying, threatening people, arrogance and lack of class.
I know people who were all in with trump and as time went by they went elsewhere. They can say people are voting against trump, but he did it to himself. Trump is so damaged he’ll never beat Hillary. There’s a list somewhere of all the people he threatened, insulted, lied about, used....not to mention what we know of his personal life. You can bet Hillary will go there. We don’t have to use national enquirer lies’ to find it.
Its amazing how trump supporters can overlook the truth we know about trump and believe or make up lies about Cruz.
Wish they could stand back for a minute and ask themselves if trump or this country is more important. Hope they don’t tell me that Donald’s going to make this country great again or only he can beat Hillary. He has turned many decent, kind people into hateful mini trumps and lots of innocent people have experienced their rage. Some trump supporters debate issues, most imitate trump and intimidate and name call and lose it. Go to any political blog where Cruz is mentioned. Decency is out the window. Even Christian sites. Plus he can’t get over 40% of total republicans.
Wonder if anyone ever thought that delegate were created in case a candidate implodes in the middle of a primary? It’s a safety net so we don’t to go though the motions with a candidate who blew it early and will never win. Delegates know this. But don’t ask their names because they need protection these days, but most likely have a conceal carry. It’s scary and really sad.
