“Beck’s gonna lose it again and cry tomorrow.”

That’s a very safe bet. Losing it seems to be a more or less daily if not hourly event for stabby the clown.

I know it’s tough acknowledging that Teddy has betrayed his supporters and is an establishment tool. That’s OK. Lot’s of us were in that same place.

Don’t worry. We’ll save you a seat on the Trump Express for whenever you”re ready.

There aren’t many cruz supporters out there anymore. Too many saw him for the Elmer Gantry figure that he is. The FR caucus is consistently seeing roughly an 80/20 split for Trump. Hijacking? FReepers appear to be overwhelmingly in favor of Trump.

To date I have yet to see even one Cruz yard sign or bumper sticker in my city. I’ve seen Trump, seen Rubio, seen even a Kasich yard sign. But nothing for Teddy. And this is in a state that Teddy would have to win in the general. The support just isn’t there.

Teddy is down to his core, diehard supporters. And even some of those are beginning to slip away. There is something of a doomsday cult feel to the cruz campaign and it’s supporters.

Yeah, we can really trust your analysis, seeing the ridicule of Cruz on your bio page.

Trump has 3 times as many actual votes as Cruz

People for the most part go with the one they perceive to be the winner because they want to vote for the winning side. Not very intellectual but that is human nature.

Your hatred of Cruz and hijacking of Free republic has seriously caused me to consider financing a site that is so one-sided. it is getting worse. many Cruz supporters no longer visit this site.

I don't hate Cruz at all. In fact, I've been a big supporter of him over the years and he was my number 2 choice in this year's election.

Cruz has however disappointed me over the past few weeks with his behavior and the last straw for me was him so quickly accepting the endorsement of Mitt Romney, even though Mitt Romney and the GOPe are clearly using him as a tool to block Trump. Once Cruz has served his purpose, they will cast him overboard.

Also, this website is certainly not one-sided. Both Trump and Cruz folks are getting their chops in, that's for sure. This site is also not for the faint of heart nor the thin-skinned.

Gosh. Ted’s momentum that was discussed to death has to come. Maybe by December. Cruz is the most overblown inexperienced candidate to ever run for president. So gratifying voters agree.

Mmmmhmmm. About the same way we can trust your analysis of Trump given your incessant screeds throughout the website.

Looks like it’s down to the paid posters and the tediban at this point. And I reckon the checks will start bouncing here soon.

Been meaning to ask: how are things in the bunker of late? Do they allow you to call out for pizza?

***I think Beck has a secret man crush on Donald. He just can’t stop talking about him.***

I listened in for a few minutes one day last week, too. In a short time he insinuated that his son, Eric, was in the Clan, and he made fun of Eric’s hair style. Beck is worse than ridiculous. I still can’t believe Cruz hitched his wagon to that idiot. I really thought Cruz was smarter than that. Cruz hooking up up with Beck completely changed my view of him. Very poor judgement for the smartest lawyer in the US.

She is rightfully upset that Cruz has not lived up to the projections of his initial campaign. Can you blame her? But, It’s time to face reality. He lost The South!

Trump won 37% of votes-7,548,429 and -—> 696 delegates.

Cruz won 27% of votes- 5,484,494 and —-> 424 delegates.

~~Countdown to 1237 delegates~~

The race is >60% over. Remaining state delegates- 906 are available as hard pledged delegates (97 are free agents.) To be nominated on the 1st round, you must have complied with Rule 40.

Trump must win 59% or at least 541/906 delegates.
Trump won 11 or 12 Majority delegations (Rule 40).
Trump can afford to lose up to 365 delegates.

Ted must win 90% or at least 813/906 delegates.
Ted must win 4 more Majority state delegations (Rule 40).
Ted can give up no more than 93 future delegates.

Given what we know, Trumps road to an undisputed victory is quite possible and probable. Ted’s path to winning is like that of a tight rope walker, but less fun to watch.

A negotiated win for a candidate that clearly lost is plain wrong. It is very problematic that the party is hellbent on attempting to hijack Trump’s victory. The overwhelming millions of folks who will have voted for Trump by the time the convention starts, will feel rightfully cheated and disgusted.

Note: If Ted loses Arizona (WTA) with 58 delegates, then Ted must win 98% of the remaining delegates to make it to 1237.

Cruz is no longer running to win at the ballot box. He is running to stop TRUMP from clearing the 1237, praying the GOPE can oust the winner TRUMP, and replace him with Cruz.

It is too disgusting for words.

“I’m not surprised that Trump drew Rubio folks. Amnesty people aren’t going to switch to Cruz - they go to the other amnesty candidate (Kasich) and the not-as-strict-as-Cruz enforcement candidate (Trump).”

You’re wasting your breath. No one believes the lies you paid Cruz-troll keep posting. Still, I know you have to keep doing it to keep being paid.

“These facts must be considered when delegates consider whether to back Trump or look for a better nominee at the convention.”

You mean having the party oligarchs hand-pick a candidate who is not the number once choice of GOP voters? Good thinking. I’m sure such a candidate will be a real hit in the general election with the GOP voters who are in open revolt against the party. You know, some candidate like Romney, McCain, Ryan, etc.

Of course, if you’re a troll who’s pulling for a strategy that’s guaranteed to hand the Presidency to Hillary, then you’ve got yourself a winning strategy.

“many Cruz supporters no longer visit this site.”

plenty of cruz supporters here. it’s just the paid anti-Trump trolls who are leaving because as their paymasters drop out, so does their pay.

Besides, it’ll all be moot in a few more weeks when Trump is the nominee and the owner of FR will no longer tolerate aiding and abetting Hillary-traitor-criminal by attacking the GOP nominee

And then here’s your “trustworthyness” record of 100% anti-Trump rhetoric:
