Here is a very excellent interactive page showing the Trump and Cruz paths to winning the nomination.
There's a short analysis here, but the best thing here is that you can adjust the future percentage of votes for any of the candidates to see how that would theoretically affect the outcome.
The money paragraph from NYT political analysts is here:
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
The same reason Kasich, who NEVER had any chance and voters outside of Ohio knew it, is still in the race - TO STEAL THE NOMINATION (not to mention the big bucks thrown their way as "contributions").
In his head, he is a winner.
He will try to negotiate VP position with Trump
PING
Here is a very excellent interactive page showing the Trump and Cruz paths to winning the nomination.
He is hoping to keep Trump from 1237. Then he is hoping to win a contested convention.
Lots of hope, not much reality.
I read where he is calling on people to meet that have a lot of money, and I noticed here in Utah instead of having his ‘TrusTED’ back sign, he had ‘Keep the Promise’ so I am wondering if he is running low on funds, because people are not supporting him like they were...
I do know the ads here in Utah are full of lies...Ksick isn’t to bad, Romney is a loser, but we all know that...
I don’t know what he is doing unless he thinks because obuma went in as a 3 year senator from Hawaii (Kenya) Cruz can do the same from Texas (Canada)...
Cruz VP isn’t going to happen. Trump doesn’t hire liars.
“If Cruz’s chances of getting the nomination are a “near impossibility”, why is he still in the race? “
Ego. He get’s to pretend like he is a player in American politics.
He is nearly out of money now.
Neil Bush had joined his campaign, now all financial problems had solved.
I think you are correct, but haven’t found a source. Have you?
Here is another link that proves all this talk about not reaching 1237 is fantasy talk not based in reality. In essence the only way he doesn’t get to 1237 is to lose California..that’s it

In this, he loses Utah and gets no delegates.He can also lose Nebraska, SD outright and still win. It’s all media fantasy.Right now Cruz doesn’t even to ge tthe threshold in New York which would mean Trump takes all the delegates
Thanks for the ping
Please let it be!
13 minute video reveals that Trump “GETS IT.”
This is why the oligarchs are suffering embarrassing bouts of public diurnal enuresis.
There will be MANY MORE attempts on Trump and his family. I just pray they FAIL and the criminals responsible face justice (but I’m not holding my breath).
I haven’t been an Alex Jones fan as his stuff tends toward the sensational. That said, hearing that there REALLY IS a plan in place to take over the world can be rather sensational to folks who hear it for the first time and/or suffer severe guilt for knowing it — and have done nothing to resist while knowing that their children and grandchildren will be denied the birthright THEY inherited!
Now — thanks to Trump — that that plan is becoming clear to millions of folks, Jones is becoming more mainstream every day.
Here is one of his more “interesting” videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDr2NJPv8kE
PLEASE WATCH THEN SHARE WIDELY!
I think it would be really tough for Trump to walk back his “ “Lyin Ted” comments and have the guy as a VP or any other significant post in his administration - or on the USSC
Lyin Ted burned his bridges by backing the faux KKK taking points against Trump ( sanctimoniously of course) and then jumping on the Soros band wagon by blaming Trump for the rentamobs ( sanctimoniously of course)
I do wish Trump would dial back on the little marco calls ( it’s over Donald, you won, move on) and on even having the name Megyn Kelly in his brain ( you won Donald, you exposed the mean girl, you are headed up and she is headed down, please ignore her and move on!!)
Stupid. You don’t call a pennant race early regardless of the stats. First place teams can collapse, second place teams can close and at least become a strong second - anything can happen.
Convention is a ways off. Anything can happen before then, however unlikely. In any event, Cruz might as well obtain as many delegates as he can.
Cruz VP isn’t going to happen. Trump doesn’t hire liars.
He also stated that Raphael is not eligible due to his lack of NBC birth. I don’t care for cruz, I think he is just another oily politician. But I really don’t care for him since he knows that he is not eligible, and yet is content to siphon delegates from Trump..shameful, arrogant bastard.
I’m not too keen on having the Mormon Prophecy in the White House in any capacity.
I think I’ll take a pass on that, i’m getting a little spooked.
| I noticed here in Utah instead of having his "TrusTED" back sign, he had a "Keep the Promise" sign. Very perceptive HL27! These subtle things are often significant. To me it suggests a few things: a. Trump's "Lyin' Ted" attack may be working. b. Ted is getting tired of hearing puppeTED and defeaTED c. He's a GOPe soldier now. He knows he can't win the nomination, so it's now: "stop Trump at all costs". Are his true establishment colors showing now? |
