These establishment guys were never for Cruz earlier.
Quite the opposite.
The only thing Ted has been able to pull off is Grahamnesty’s wedding dress yesterday.
The GOPe must fall behind Cruz now and tell Ksick to drop out.
GO CRUZ
Short answer? No.
Longer answer: Nope.
“Right now, as a #NeverTrump guy, I’m rooting hard for Ted Cruz.”
I’d watch your back Ted.
I hate the term “anti-Trump vote”. There are good positive reasons to support Cruz, and this election is not about Trump, its about survival.
no
The GOPe lost Ohio, so it doesn’t matter who they run.
People here are PISSED that they were used, that the Governor was made to look like a fool.
Another National Review article that accomplishes nothing except to further isolate them from reality and shrink their circle jerk.
Cruz has had a free ride for a month while everyone was busy pretending Trump’s Mussolini - and he’s done nothing with it at all. Were it not for Texas Rubio would be in and Kasich would’ve dropped out. Cruz isn’t going to close up anything - he’s got the Texas delegates and some strays, no personality and an unctuous delivery everyone hates. They’re always the last to know.
Know
Cruz has to have to votes. Otherwise it’s Trump’s.
Tucson to El Paso is only 315 miles driving.
Beaumont to El Paso is an 831 mile drive. So Arizona is closer to Texas than a lot of Texas is to other parts of Texas.
But to the merits - Cruz may win in Arizona. He’s gathering the support of Mormon opinion leaders (Beck, Romney) and there are a lot of Mormons in Arizona.
The irony is that Kasich dropping out would give Trump Ohios delegates. So he’s actually doing Cruz a service by sticking around. Its really a no win situation for Cruz. He’s not going to get the +80% of delegates he needs to win the nomination and there is no way if the race is contested that the RNC would go Cruz instead of Trump if Trump is ahead. I mean if you are going to blow up the party you aren’t going to do it to lift up Cruz. Right now a vote for Cruz or Kasich is a vote for a contested convention and a vote for Hillary because only a fool who wants to spoil everything would want a contested convention.
Perhaps Ted is counting on the crossover BLM vote to push him over the finish. At this point Ted will lay down with any dogs that come his way.
After Arizona and Utah, there is Wisconsin on April 5th, NY on April 19, and April 26th there is Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. Indiana is on May 3rd.
Cruz may win Utah, he may do well, but still lose, Wisconsin. Trump is leading by 50 percentage points in NY, and he’ll probably sweep all the races on April 26th. If that happens, Trump could end up with 342 more delegates, giving him 1,020.
If Trump gets that big winning streak, few people are going to bother voting for Cruz, and the remaining contests will be completely dominated by Trump. That would give Trump approximately 1,334 delegates.
