Are you people deluded? If Cruz wins I support him. But right now,all he is doing is blocking a more successful anti-establishment candidate.

Ted Cruz reminds me of Carrie at the prom. He thinks all the popular kids love him when really they're just setting him up.

This year Utah is both caucus and on-line voting (for registered Republicans). There’s just no way to predict the outcome.

was never smart to disassemble it to begin with.

Cruz is a young man. So is Rubio (but amnesty killed him anyway)

what was the rush.

And personally, I would rather have a 69 year old man running for pres than the current 46 year olds.

i’m 47 and am no monument to maturity and wisdom.

Cruz has made some mistakes that maybe 8 years from now he doesn’t make

I would think the on-line voting would favor Trump. I tried to look it up to send the site to Trump but couldn’t find anything on it.

The Mask Is Officially Off – How Ted Cruz Is Funded By Biggest DC Insiders…

http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/03/19/the-mask-is-officially-off-how-ted-cruz-is-funded-by-biggest-dc-insiders/

Cruz was never “an outsider“. The intellectually honest political observer would have to detach themselves from all reasonable cognition to avoid accepting Ted Cruz:

Was part of George W. Bush’s administration.
Was part of George W Bush’s Florida recount team.
Was introduced to his wife Heidi (Condelezza Rice staffer) while working for Bush.
Has hired the entire operational arm of the Jeb Bush campaign team: Paul Dickerson of Houston, TX, Boyden Gray of Washington, DC, Charles Foster of Houston, TX, Reginald J. Brown of Washington, DC, Paula and Jim Henry of Midland, TX, and Nancy and Randy Best of Dallas, TX. Along with Neil Bush.

Those are facts.

Utah is 40 delegates, Arizona is 58 AND winner take all. If Cruz gets over 50% of the vote in the state where a bunch of people won’t even drink coffee because it’s of the devil (which he very well may), he’s going to end the day with less delegates than Trump.

Again.

It would be delicious if Kasich could deny Cruz 50%. Can you imagine Glenn Beck if that happens? Trump doesn't even have to make 15% to share in the delegates as long as Cruz doesn't take all, but the big thing is taking the half away from Ted. 20 for Ted, a couple for Trump, and 58 for Trump in Arizona.

And us Trump supporters will be watching for over and under performing this poll for sure, though this is a caucus and sets up very well for Ted Cruz.

Trump’s 11% is ridiculous even for Utah. He will at least double it and Kasich’s numbers are anywhere close to the 29%, Cruz will have to split the Utah delegates.

Utah is definitely in play, at least as far as keeping Cruz under 50%. I was at the Trump rally last night in Salt Lake, and there were plenty of church-going Mormons and tons of young people. Tuesday evening will be fascinating to see how Utah plays out.

“If Cruz wins I support him. But right now,all he is doing is blocking a more successful anti-establishment candidate.”

I will support Trump or any Repub nominee but if Kasich is hanging on without a numerical chance to win he’s blocking the candidates. The elite will not pick him.

I want to see Trump & Cruz debate. I am also of the opinion if Cruz hits the point he’s mathematically eliminated for the 1st round he should bow out and support Trump!

I wondered what criteria they used to ID likely caucus goers. Didn’t Trump run into this in another state where new voters weren’t taken into account?

It’s both a caucus and on-line voting for registered Republicans.

There’s no chance Trump has only 10% in any poll anywhere.

By early April, Cruz will be eliminated from getting the required 1,237 delegates.

Cruz will probably stay in it until he is no longer able two win a plurality.
