Why Cruz is walking away from the Florida primary
MSNBC ^ | March 11, 2016 | Steven Benen

Posted on 03/12/2016 1:02:05 PM PST by bgill

The super PACs backing Ted Cruz are opting to skip airing television ads in Florida before next Tuesday’s primary, despite the Cruz campaign hyping up its own effort to prevent rival Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio from winning his delegate-rich home state. “We looked at the numbers, and we decided that Marco Rubio can lose Florida all by himself,” said Kellyanne Conway, president of the Keep the Promise, the multiple super PAC entities backing Cruz. “He doesn’t need our help.”

Rubio is giving his votes to Kasich in Ohio and now Cruz is giving his votes to Trump in Florida. Makes you wonder just what were those little white things those two Cubans were popping during the debate.

And Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about?

Why did cruz hug up to the Bush-Clinton Crime families?

Why did cruz blame what happened in Chicago on Trump?

What was that ‘big’ meeting with the Bildenberg group all about the other day with Bush, cruz, Rubio and Kasich?

You bet...all in bed with one another!!!

This is beging to feel like Trump maybe the nominee by the end of the month. There is a sense that the Campaigns are sereing it all slip away and are going into last ditch defense mode

Cruz should have done this weeks ago. Truth is that the challengers should have divided up the states before the primaries even began so that Trump had to run against one candidate in each state.

Rubio may finish no better than 3rd in IL, MO, NC or OH. Matters little what he will do in Florida

Cruzz is giving his votes to trump....In your dreams.

Cruz believes he has now weakened Rubio, his latest BFF, and he will get his votes.

Cruz is in full retreat and he is losing that is why he is leaving.

After, Chicago Trump will win every single state Tuesday!

Cruz is not “giving his votes” to anyone. The numbers in Florida don’t line up particularly well for him, so it’
s a wiser decision to use his resources elsewhere, where they might be more effective.

The same holds for Rubio and Kasich.

Anyone who believes otherwise doesn’t understand how politics works.

Except, Trump would be racking up 50% plus in most states...and that's not what Cruz wants.

The phrase....little Marco will haunt Marco for the rest of his life.

And Bet every time Marco sees a Chihuahua, he'll want to kick it.

Those were suppositories. And yes, they were correctly administered.

Ohio is always tough to figure out. If Kasich gets a pocket of strong support (like Columbus), it's not a done deal.

What will help Trump even more now are the revelations about the degenerate who tried to attack Trump in Dayton. This is the scum of the earth that Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich are favoring.
