Never in my life have I prayed for an open convention... until now. I have some doubts that Cruz can beat the wicked witch. But I know Trump can't. If he is the nominee we are going to get buried in November.

Open convention is the best way to commit suicide. Get used to saying President Clinton again. It’s only 8 more years. Blobfish can’t even beat Trump.

“But I know Trump can't. “

And just how do you “know” that? Are you a Shaman? It must be wonderful to be clairvoyant!

“If Mr. Trump is dealt a setback in the Wisconsin primary, including a potential sweep by Mr. Cruz of all 42 delegates, it would be his most prominent reversal since his second-place finish in the Iowa caucuses in February. And it would show Mr. Trump’s vulnerability before the race moves to New York and other Northeastern states.”

Nevermind all of the states he’s won. Let’s pretend that doesn’t exist!

These people can get bent.

And anyone that gets all fearful can learn to grow a pair because anyone else you offer is nothing but a surrender in hopes of what? That the MSM will produce some happy polls for you to smoke like opium?

Cruz can, and will, beat Hillary like a rented mule.

More gloom and doom from the Trump-hating crowd still hoping for Trump’s demise. Well keep hoping, it’s not gonna happen, so just keep flailing away, maybe something will stick......

Well, he can't. Trump's coalition stays home and only the religious nuts show up in November to vote for Cruz. Cruz wins maybe 5 states and gets pummeled by Hillary.

I love it! Trump guaranteed to be trounced by Killary.

That must be why the DNC, RNC, MSM et al are trying so hard to make sure Trump is the nominee. Oh wait, that ain’t actually happening.

Things that make you go Hmmmmmmm.

good grief how many times do you have to be corrected with facts, before you stop going thread ton thread spreading the establishment lies.

Have you not had enough of the establishment or do you want to keep the gravy train and corruption going or are you part of it?

Trump v Cruz head-to-head actual primary election results for the 3 purple states which are must wins,

|——————Trump v Cruz -——— Trump v Cruz ———— Margin -——|
Ohio ............. 700,464 - 259,694 ... 35.87% - 13.30% ..... +440,770 Trump

Florida ........ 1,079,741 - 404,804 ... 45.72% - 17.14% ..... +647,937 Trump

Virginia ......... 355,961 - 173,191 ... 34.73% - 16.90% ..... +182720 Trump

The facts say, Cruz can’t win FL,OH, or VA. He has to win all of them; therefore a vote for Cruz is a vote for Hillary.

Again, my give a sh*t meter is barely moving. So I make this observation. Everyone has figured out to stop Trump begins and end with the gender gap. And I know Trump people don't like it, but it is a real issue.

Let me point out that Trump always seems to make-up with male media types, but continues to hold grudges (to unhealthy obsessions) with women media members.

Women hate when men call other women ugly. Trump still does this.

Trump called for the criminalization of abortion for the women which is stupid. I will note, that the media has tried the criminal trap on abortion since GHWB ran for president in 1988! How did he fall for this trap in 2016?

Flame me all you want, but the fact is that this is how Trump doesn't capture the nomination. I am going back to signing up for a free MLB package with T-Mobile, because, I don't give a crap what Trump people think of me.

Me too. With an open convention we may be able to salvage this thing.

Agree that Cruz with his personal lack of charm would be weak choice against Hillary.

Trump had potential as the exciting outsider willing to stand up for Borders and Jobs. But the last few months have revealed him to be an awful general election candidate, who lacks the knowledge and skills to handle even basic interviews without stumbling into the outrage of the day. And when Trump’s not stinking up interviews, he’s on Twitter, trying to find new ways to dig deeper his hole with woman voters, via nonsense about TV anchors and people’s wives.

Hopefully WI will be one of the speed bumps that keep Trump short of the delegates needed for a first-ballot win.

Who gives a damn about what Wisconsin wants? Wisconsin’s contribution to “conservativism” are creepy Paul Ryan and the invisible man Scott Walker who have ZERO popularity in the 49 other states.

NOBODY other than the cynical wankers in the GOPe would vote for them.

If it’s not Trump, it will be Hillary. If it is Trump, it could be Hillary. Cruz is out with Kasich.

I don’t really share your concern. I don’t want an open convention as Trump and Cruz will both lose. The Establishment will select someone else, like Ryan or Kasich.

I really think Trump can beat the “witch” because she stands for nothing. Trump is a businessman and understands how to get things done. You may have heard an old statement “if I wanted something fixed in my house, I don’t want the slick sales person or the nice sounding one, I want someone who will do the work and is not afraid to get their hands dirty - I don’t care if the person is unruly or speaks his mind, I know the work will be done properly”

With that said, if the “polls” were all telling and all knowing, then why have elections? Just take a poll and whoever the 600 people select, then go with that. These polls are based on people answering the phone on that day - is it the college student, worker, unemployed, etc.

We’ve all seen that the “polls” were so wrong in recent primaries, etc. They are only close on the day prior to the vote. I think the polls show who “the witch” doesn’t want to run against so they are skewed - in my opinion. Do you really think that the majority of Americans would want Bernie over Trump? This is what the polls show - let’s try to stay united against the Establishment and Hillary.

A contested convention, if it happens, don’t bet on Cruz getting the nomination... if that’s where this thing winds up, you will get Jeb or someone like that as your nominee. Contested conventions historically do not wind up with either of the frontrunners winning the nomination because their delegates are unwilling to large scale support their nemesis... so you wind up with a lot of votes going nowhere, and eventually some third dark horse becomes the person that members of both factions wind up supporting.

Personally I don’t think its going to wind up there, highly doubtful Trump will lose WI in a way that he would wind up with no delegates... however even if he were, he walks into New York in 2 weeks and takes the overwhelming majority if not every single one of NY’s 95 delegates... keeping him more than on path to 1237, even if he were to lose every one in WI.

WI I expect to be close, any poll showing anyone up double digits there is laughable... it implies to me something definitely off with the sample. I do think WI and maybe IN are the last best hope for Cruz to pull an upset, maybe a small New England state might surprise but that’s about it.

If I were to predict an unexpected story out of WI, I would be looking for Kasich to outperform his polls. Based on my exposure to Wisconsin, I think a lot of folks, after the events of the last few weeks there, are likely to decide they won’t vote for either of the “buffoons” and vote for Kasich. Won’t be enough to give him the win, but I would not be surprised to see him perform well above where the polls say he should.

Time will tell.

If you know all thst you should quit your job and be on TV spreading propaganda.

No one can tell who can beat the witch.

sCruz is an insider and Bushbot.
