If “they” are successful at getting Trump out, Cruz will fail and Jeb will be the nominee. Just what everyone at FOX wants. The Cruzers will be dumbfounded.

The right has always dreamed of a candidate like Trump against the left! Where stuff doesn’t stick, eliminating PC, getting rid of Obamacare, getting rid of Common Core, Department of Education, lowering the debt, reducing trade imbalance, building a wall! Take on the media!

So Cruz, Cruzers and other so called Conservatives have been attacking his Conservatism, his faith, his personality, his marriages, his business deals, accusing him of being afraid of Meghan Kelly. Rush refuted this strongly this morning.

What’s disappointing is the infighting. Not looking at your candidate realistically. This would be over if it was any other candidate with Trump’s poll numbers except Trump or Cruz. Which is why Cruz won’t be nominated. Sorry Cruzers.

Trump’s not the person you would have picked if you were God, eh?

"I think you’re right."

Except for his most ardent supporters, most see him as smarmy and creepy. Just like Hillary, the more people actually see of him the less they like him.

Yet, Trump and Cruz both have enough money to make it until at least Florida, after SEC, i believe.

Cruz is beginning to sound desperate and desperation is a real turnoff to voters.

And people like to say they voted for the winner.

IA: Trump 38% Cruz 23%
NH: Trump 49% Cruz 8%
SC: Trump 53% Cruz 17%

My predictions. I have a +/- 2 % on those. Ping me when they come in and lets see if I understand the current electorate vs pollsters weighting of their surveys.

I know you think I am crazy, but bookmark this and watch.

I saw a lot of the O’Reilly Trump interview. For all his bluster, Trump had some moments where he can rise to a lever I haven’t heard since Reagan.

"There is no path to victory in the general without them."

Actually, it would be FAR tougher to win the primaries without them.

The ubiquitous “they”.
Trump and Cruz have differences, but are more alike in policy than any 2 other candidates you could name.
Frankly, I think they are both a bit foolish in staking so much on IA.
Means little, goes nowhere

With Ted in the top spot at the debate they will all gang up on him like they have been doing to Trump.

After all, they have to beat Ted before they can beat Trump.

Yes they do. I find him smarmy and creepy myself. I am amazed at the cult like support he has.

Anyone running for president is unlikely to not want to be in the limelight. Ridiculous premise.

CNN is not our friend.

No reason not to use them.

I don’t think Ted can handle it. Rubio if no one else will reduce him to stuttering.

"The SEC primary will most likely give us the nominee."

No it won't, by design.

There are 692 delegates up between now and March 1st.

All will be allocated PROPORTIONATELY and a superior performance would only award maybe 250-300 to a single candidate.

But then come the big media markets...FL, SC, OH etc. They are winner take all and will take big bucks and lots of air time.

Could work as you have written, which means about 4 % of the total US electorate has spoken. Not saying it will not come out that way, not saying it will, either.
SEC is in about 5 weeks.
May look like this still, may not.

Those three states are a microcosm of the electorate to a large degree. Doesn’t take into account Mexi’Fornia, but what does...
