Who’s using who?

Cruz appears to be the only candidate who understands that the REAL race is delegate loyalty after the first round.

If Cruz is being outplayed, at least he showed up to the race.

Trump only just now hired someone to align his delegates. Too little, too late, as N. Dakota, LA, and Colorado are proving.

At this point, the race is down to Cruz or the establishment. Trump’s not even been in the race. Cruz may lose, but at least SOMEBODY understands that the real race and is working to win it.

Bunk.

Voters have been selecting Trump in virtually every single actual primary poll, as opposed to caucus.

Trump has been winning.

Trump is strongly leading, and Cruz needs to stand down.

That's dumb, Cruz's public support is extremely soft. He has numbers where only small portions of his support even, apparently, like him, and aside from stealing a few delegates here and there, has no hope of winning if Trump doesn't get the necessary 1235 delegates. No one will be rising up to save Ted Cruz in a convention. Cruz's surrogates in the media, like Ben Shapiro, will drop him in favor of a "fresh face" basically as soon as they are told to do so.

Well good for Ted. Who cares what the voters want as long as plays ‘the rules’ to his advantage

So much for the “ethical” candidacy

You are right. You go out and vote for your candidate. The RNC, i.e. Cruz the “Bush Family insider”, in the mean time with the North Dakota RNC party members assign party loyal delegates to the candidates according to the rules, knowing they won't vote for the candidate elected by the majority of the people. But those are the rules, right!, zircon, Mountain Mary?

IOW, voting for the citizen is now not essential. The UniParty will always win. And you suckers support this!!!!

Right. It’s not how many of the people’s votes you get but how you play the game. And they say America is morphing into a oligarch-run Banana Republic......

Your viewpoint seems to be that the people’s votes are of scant importance, and that the real race concerns how the delegates (i.e., party insiders) vote.

Do I have that about right?

Then tell me why the HELL we’re engaging in this dog and pony show of a primary election to begin with?

I thought we had a representative form of government. If it’s simply a totalitarian form of government, controlled by a select few party apparatchiks, then come right out and say it, so we know what we’re dealing with.
