Cruz is being used to block Trump.
As soon as he’s no longer needed he’ll be cast aside by the GOPe. They’ll then move to steal the nomination at the convention.
The corrupt status quo will remain in Washington. Crony capitolism will still be alive and well. Illegals will continue to flow across the border. We had a chance and did not take it. The illegals will be able to vote and the country will never be the same again.
Based on the Trump followers logic on FR they should both drop out?
How about they both go until one gets 1237? Sound good to me.
He may get the nomination, but he will not win the general. I will not hold my nose and vote for any brokered candidate.
Trump has fallen below Cruz in the Reuters polls.
The drop in Trump’s support came just days after he retweeted an unflattering photograph of Cruz’s wife, Heidi. In the following days, the campaigns engaged in a war of words over the candidates’ spouses. Trump also angered many on both sides of the abortion debate when he said in an interview that women who get abortions should be legally punished. The Trump campaign later clarified his remarks.
The drop in support for Trump comes at a critical time in his campaign. While he leads the overall race for delegates, there are growing questions over whether he will be able to secure the minimum 1,237 delegates necessary to win the nomination on the first ballot.
I don’t think Trump can get the votes now. Wisconsin is being downplayed by the trumpers and not a huge number of delegates are involved, but it changes the landscape a little.
Is this writer even aware that primaries continue into June, including California with 172 delegates? Please tell me the rest of the posters on this thread know this “minor” detail.
Say HELLO to Vice President Rubio.
32% in a terrible state for Trump is pretty good.
I was concern trolling myself he was going to do as bad as with the kooky UTah GOP.
I’m in agreement with Newt its either going to be Trump or Cruz. If neither one Gets 1237 delegates they walk into the convention with about 80% of the delegates between them. If push comes to shove the two of them will bury the hatchet and form a coalition. These guys are too smart and have worked too hard to let the RNC sneak Ryan or Romney in the back door. Never gonna happen.
Trump and Cruz together will have the vast majority of delegates by the time of the convention. That means the Republicans voters decided that either Trump or Cruz should be the nominee. To reject that decision is to insult the voters. Referring to the rules or the rules-to-be misses the point. For the Republican Party to reject the voters' choice is to risk receiving the wrath of the voters.
I hope the GOPe steps back from the brink and decides not to run its party like a third-world dictatorship. Unfortunately, it is too arrogant and so Trump and Cruz will have to stop the GOPe. If they fail, then the People should punishment the party with the goal of destroying it.
Here you go.

A good read for you.
