Yeah, so much for” Trump being ignored” theory/

Were your comments really necessary?

Which ones? Two weeks ago there were hundreds of stories posted here essentially citing a Cruz surge. But it just didn't happen. In fact he has again drifted back under 8 in today's Reuters.

Most of us thought Carson would fall, but a great number of Freepers thought Ted would pick up the slack. I did not.

Here are the hard political facts:

Ted Cruz who I like is too conservative. The average GOP voter is middle of the road or slightly right of center. The average independent voter is middle of the road or slightly right of center.

So Cruz has a problem in his own party and in a theoretical general election. This is why Cruz has been polling 7%-8.5% during this entire voting cycle. He just isn’t going to get the traction to catch up to Trump.

Absent an alien abduction Donald Trump is the next GOP nominee. Hopefully he will take Cruz along for the ride to Washington.
