The last Super Tuesday in March turned out to be the death knell for Marco Rubio‘s bid for the presidency and another triumphant night for Donald Trump. Trump won at least three contests while denying his biggest threat, Ted Cruz, a single outright victory.

Ted Cruz will graciously lose to Hillary. It’s in the plan.
“Cruz at least offers the hope of keeping the old party — even in defeat — together for at least another election cycle. That’s a more comforting idea to the anti-Trump crowd than the horror of a Trump presidency.”

You may be right since Cruz gave all that money to Hillary’s campaigns and the Clinton Foundation. Oh, wait, that wasn’t Cruz...
Yep. Bingo.
Well if this is an example of the writers analytical skills then this article isn't worth the cyberspace it occupies. Because I know Trump supporters will have no problem supporting Ted should he somehow pull off a win.
They won’t give it to Cruz. They are using him to block try to block Trump on the first ballot, period. After that they will dump Cruz and go for Ryan, Romney or Kasich.
Surprised Cruz is allowing this to happen. It’s so obvious he’s being used. He has no chance.
Here’s the most conservative candidate in the race, who got shellacked in the south (winless) to a NY populist. And he’s somehow going to start winning in states like CA, NY, NJ, PA? Face it, his appeal is extremely limited.
A dog could beat Hillary once the FBI drops the hammer on her.
She went too far and pissed off the IC by committing treason. They won’t let her win.
Most Trump supporters at FR would, in factm support Cruz were he to get the nomination, but the “newly engaged” supporters would not. They just won’t vote, again, this year.
No, Cruz is the opposite. He takes in money from Goldman Sachs and Citi while his wife plots with the CFR and North American Union to eliminate our borders and destroy our sovereignty.
Cruz knows he can’t win, and is in on a conspiracy to try and deny Trump the nom. He’s vain enough to believe it might be handed to him instead.
Not a chance
A more extensive excerpt from the article:
“...what exactly is the the reasoning for picking Cruz over Trump? For conservatives, it’s the fact that he’s one of them and will not destroy their movement. For Republican leaders, like Mitt Romney, Trump at the top of the ticket is a total nightmare and they’ll take the annoyance of a Cruz candidacy over that presumptive terror.
Curiously, what’s rarely ever mentioned is Cruz’s ability to win a general election — a marked contrast to Marco Rubio’s primary pitch. That may be due to everyone, deep down, knowing Cruz has little shot at winning the presidency outside of a Hillary Clinton indictment.
While Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric prompts worries about appealing to the general public, Cruz doesn’t fare much better. The senator’s favorability rating is lower than Clinton’s and more people have a positive view of the former first lady than they do of Cruz.
His entire primary strategy has been to electrify and motivate white evangelicals and die-hard conservatives to cast their ballots for him. Cruz’s portrayal as the ultimate conservative has worked well in the primary, but it is not going to give him victory in a general election.
What is totally unclear is what groups Cruz will bring to the GOP ticket that are not already apart of his base of support. Most Republicans who didn’t vote for him now will probably end up supporting him if he’s the nominee, yet it’s unlikely a necessary number of Democrats and independents will.
Barring a radical transformation for a general election, Cruz’s positions on social security, taxes and other issues will not go well with demographics outside the GOP base. The incredibly bizarre statements of his surrogates — such as his father’s preaching that Ted is “anointed” by God to turn America into a theocratic state and a prominent Cruz-supporting pastor calling for the execution of homosexuals — are going to serve as easy fodder for the Clinton machine to alienate his potential voters.
Additionally, there doesn’t appear to be any sign that Cruz will pick up Trump’s newly engaged supporters if he wins the nomination — a scenario that may be music to the ears of the #NeverTrump crowd, but not so good if you’re trying to win an election.
Republicans can’t even pretend Cruz will win over minorities and millennials with his doubling-down on conservative orthodoxy and speaking style that eerily resembles that of a televangelist.
At the convention that grants him the nomination, Cruz will have the unenviable task of bringing together a tattered political organization for a tough battle with a Democratic Party firmly behind Hillary. With some of his supporters more concerned with purging the party of “Trumpkins” than winning an election, it would be a very tall order for Cruz to unify all the warring factions for his campaign.”
So Don Trump has never taken or borrowed Wall Street money? Hahahahaha! Really?!
They know he isn’t eligible anyways.
Exactly right! Can’t believe Cruz is falling for it.
Reports about Obama becoming active in the Presidential campaign make it sound like he will not allow indictment of Hitlery out of fear for his “legacy”.
Not while holding public office.
