The very fact that 26 of the states, many that he desperately needs, cannot be 'wheedled' because of current state laws, Faithless elector laws, just blows right over your head..
Not the same thing at all as getting delegates selected who support you.
That you chose 'selected' is extremely telling. You won't be offered that same luxury in a general election and be able to tell us all 'lump it or leave it.'
Soothe on that for a while, Dave.
According to the most recent polls, the answer is ... NO.
“One final point. The Wall Street Journal editorial page is one of the beacons of conservative political thought in America. ‘
Comedy Gold right there. But then if you believe Lyin’Ted® is conservative an open borders, US jobs are just a commodity to ship overseas fish wrap can be “conservative” too.
More of your retarded nonsense. Do you have the pen that has red, blue, and green ink in the same barrel. How about the big copybook with the post it notes—or is there an app for that.
He has no plan to “wheedle” electors for the general election. You Trump people are hysterical.
Why doesn’t your messiah know how to organize on a local level and get his supporters selected as delegates? I thought he had a great brain?
“Cruz will not be elected. Period.
If he wins the nomination, he will lose. Big time.”
There are plenty of folks who think the same exact thing about Trump - and the polls are better for Cruz.
I think it’s best to go with a choice that’s at least coherent, not to mention an unblemished conservative track record. That is Cruz.
That's exactly correct. I prefer Cruz, by a lot, but I will vote for Trump if he's the candidate.
All of the #NeverTrump and "I won't vote for Cruz" folks need to swallow their pride/angst/whatever and vote for the R in November. This election is far too important. The winner will shape the Supreme Court for generations, and many of our most basic rights are in jeopardy. If you don't vote, you are simply a "useful idiot" for the Dems.
Cruz or Trump '16! JUST NOT A DEM!!!
The ‘messiah’ in this election is the Elmer Gantry of Utah and gullible evangelical America.
Trump has a brain; Ted has the GOPe machine now.
Ted clearly didn’t win any of the Solid South outside of Texas. That plan shot all to hell. Let’s just go with “party rules” and tell everyone to “like it or lump it.”
That’s a very interesting narrative. We already have one White House occupant with murky origins. We don’t need another.
Sorry, but a guy who is running in the teens in NY, comes in 3rd in FL, loses badly in VA and Ohio, doesn’t win a single district in SC, and can’t get 50% of the vote in his home state is not electable.
“... if the Journal declares that Cruz is unelectable that will make him more unelectable.”
Let the voters decide.
At this point, according to the polls, Cruz is more electable than any other republican candidate.
The position of President is the chief of the executive branch of our government. Donald Trump has over 40 years experience as a chief executive. Ted Cruz has as much experience at CEO as Obama and we see how well that has turned out.
You do realize that primaries are not the same as general elections? That the number of people participating goes up by an order of magnitude?
And yet, his organization is running rings around Trump’s. So is Cruz a great manager or is Trump a lousy one?
Ted will never get to the general. His taking help from the GOP is like a businessman taking a loan from the mob to stay afloat. In the end, the mob’s in charge.
Great post.
Short answer? No.
Long answer? No.
CA....
If Trump had the unlimited resources of Cruz’ superPACs and the weight and influence of the GOPe, he would not have to cover as many bases with his own money. If you ask me Trump has used his personal resources more efficiently than Cruz. So I guess it depends on what you gauge as being effective.
Worst case sensrio Trump goes back to being a Billionaire CEO and Ted Cruz finishes his term and gets a gig at FOX.
No.
