I think it will get down to Trump versus Cruz.

I don't think so. There will be a GOPe candidate who emerges after Super Tuesday. Cruz and Trump don't attract more than 50% of the vote together. Rubio or Bush will be the GOPe candidate. One of them will get out before the March 15 winner take all in FL.

They have to unite.

Alone, neither has enough support to derail a brokered convention.

Together, they can foreclose any opportunity for a brokered convention.

The establishment and their media are pushing the Cruz v. Trump fight, hoping they each damage each other. If they can reduce Trump’s numbers to about 28% (as Fox falsely reported yesterday) and Ted’s to about 20%, then they get their super delegates to broker the convention and get their guy in.

What they don’t know is that Donald will make a truce with Ted in a NY minute. And the result will be a Trump-Cruz ticket because the Trump v. Cruz slugfest in Iowa did not have a lasting effect on Trump’s numbers. In fact, the opposite is true.

Would love for a Trump Newt 2016 team to be in the works. Newt won South Carolina last cycle. Go Trump! Go Newt!

that was beautiful but the fact remains that there is no statistical difference between Ted and Donald, except in unfavorability, in which trump leads by 14, 60 to 46.

I keep hearing “Cruz can’t win!!”

it sounds like the same argument is being used that we hated so much only last year.

the one that said “we have to pick someone like jeb/McCain/Romney/Rubio, who can win!”

now that it fits the agenda, many are agreeing with that thinking.

Cruz CAN win and he WILL win if he gets the nod.

Trump CAN win and WILL win too if he gets the nod.

Arguments that have been proven false keep popping up about Cruz’ ability to win.

I think you need to get outside your comfort zone and listen to some interviews that Trump gave 25 years ago. He sound like exactly the same guy. He didn’t flip flop at all. He is not a politician, his ideas are pragmatic, not ideological and he is oriented toward making better deals for America. That was just as true 25 years ago. The problems he foresaw then are the problems we are facing now.

Reagan was a conservative who couldn’t get election either. Only he did.

Cruz ain't no Reagan...Reagan got tons of crossover votes who won't touch Cruz...Cruz would get far, far less votes than Romney did...

What doesn’t Apple and Google get together to make a robot president that looks like Rubio? Shouldn’t be too hard, it only needs to be programmed with one line that it repeats over and over.

Ted interviewed top of Kelly’s show,excellent. BTW - heard on radio news Bambi comment - politicians bickering like schoolchildren bad example for kids -— lol. Took me back to when Ted first said about Trump - Americans don’t want to listen to politicians bickering like kids - and then right into his new ad with kids acting like Trump. Sounds like Bambi is paying attention.

Cruz lost the conservative vote to Trump in New Hampshire. Cruz's numbers for independents and moderates were pathetic as well. All his strength came from "very conservative" voters, which he still lost to Trump.

WOW. If that is true, it only speaks to why Trump will win Florida and Texas over Cruz. It is what it is. Even previous Texas Cruz supporters who will still vote for Cruz as senator, prefer Trump for President and will vote for Trump over Cruz for President. Same with Florida.

Trump is a LEADER unlike anyone we have seen since Reagan. Trump is fearless and not afraid of the liberal media. And if Newt Gingrich becomes Trumps VP, even liberals will have to respect the ultimate dream team of a Trump Gingrich ticket.

Where? Where is there ANY proof Trump has crossover appeal?

i dont see it in ONE poll. His unfavorability is 60 percent.

i know, polls dont matter, but they did to a lot of Trump people when they showed him leading in NH. And they were right.

The day of the Blue Dog dem is gone.

There will be NO major dem crossover.

free abortion, free food, free money and free lodging. and no right to work states. that’s why they vote dem.

No one is coming from there folks. Repubs and Independents will have to win this.

Show me ANY sort of proof where Trump has crossover appeal?

it would make me happy.
