“Ted Cruz is toast, as has been observed on this site.”

Yeah. You and many other Cruz haters have been saying that since before Iowa. Has not helped your candidate even one iota.

If Trump and his supporters had simply argued why his candidacy was superior, rather than engaging in juvenile antics, he would have already had more than 1237 delegates.

Trump got bad advice on this. Taunting and mocking the media worked. Taunting and mocking every other candidate weakened him. His supporters followed suit.

Cruz has a large number (millions) of die hard supporters. He has the best conservative ratings from every conservative organization. Maligning him has been a foolish tactic.

Trump could have easily upstaged him on managerial experience, business and finance experience, negotiating experience, and drilled home that Cruz is a junior senator that has no bills and needs more time to season.

Instead, he and his supporters have accentuated the difference being that Trump is not so conservative. Trump is running on a conservative platform. He knows he need a conservative core. His supporters seem to think the conservative vote is unimportant.

The reality is that Trump can win the nomination and lose the general if he does not unite the base and bring over the Cruz supporters.

And if Trump and his supporters remain off message, they just may hand the nomination to Cruz.

Your post number 28 was excellent. Here it is again:

We’ll see who is toast. You should go back and read post number 28.

What an excellent response to you:
