Sen. Ted Cruz was projected to win the Wisconsin primary Tuesday, delivering a stunning blow to GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump and resetting the race as it heads east later this month.

I think it is conservatives and other Cruz Tea Party supporters that have said “NUTS” to the North East Rino/Yankee interloper.

Who will control more delegates on the second ballot, the Tea Party or the GOPe?

Answer that and you'll know what kind of man they'll nominate.

He didn’t double cross me at all. He gave what was a logical answer, and the rest of the world, except for true pro-life believers, decided it was the ‘wrong’ answer. He wasn’t knowledgeable enough, begin a convert, to know that the logical answer is the right answer.

Cruz, Kasich, all the conservative media, and everyone else took this pro-life convert and made him realize that truth wasn’t the issue. Correctness was the issue.

It actually helped me. Now I know that none of them are truly pro-life.

Even as the vote tally was coming up on screen, the MSM talking heads continued to push Trump, promising he would “win Big.”

LOL!

Up yours MSM!

Trump only needs between 39 and 49 more delegates, and Cruz will be mathematically eliminated from attaining 1237 delegates.

If Trump gets to 1237 legally, he wins. End of story. Failing that, what's of prime importance? I'll tell you - locking out the establishment. (And please, don't come at me with Cruz = Establishment. You are smarter than that.)

How to lock out the establishment? Adopt convention rules that assure that only Trump and Cruz may be nominated.

Regardless of how our chosen candidates proceed, we of the base must press hard for some sort of alliance if Trump does not close it out before the convention.

Otherwise Rove / Romney may well have their way - again. I thought the theme was supposed to be "We Won't Get Fooled Again."

“And they will run over Trump, and then Cruz, to do it.”

You’re saying Trump is going to lose the nomination?

Not a math question at all; its a groundswell swing in momentum, as Trump’s feckless ‘scandal’ game got crushed by the American people.

Cruz’ momentum will continue to grow as Trump’s balloon of digestive gasses has been ruptured.

The parade of false ‘scandals’ has shown the people what is happening, and the people are now speaking.

Game over for the spoiled kid from Queens.

If it isn’t about your fragile sensibilities. Then why do you care?

I would respectfully disagree. (And I mean that since I do respect you)

After investigating the issue myself, listening/reading the arguments of both sides, it seems clear to me that many women who procure an abortion are victims themselves.

Many are pressured by “friends”, husbands, family members etc, to have an abortion and are themselves reluctant to the end to do it. They feel trapped in a web from which they feel they can’t escape, because of this intense pressure from those they have loved and trusted. These same people urging them to do what they know is wrong in their heart. This is the testimony of countless women who have had an abortion.

They also testify to great regret later. And for the rest of their lives feel trapped in a prison of guilt. The truly repentant (again of which are many) don’t deserve prison. They need to know they can be forgiven by God should they really repent.

Certainly I’m sure there are some that have no remorse, and perhaps some legal remedy could be reserved for such women. But the vast majority are not like that, another dirty, unspoken secret of the abortion industry. The millions of women themselves destroyed by the “simple procedure”.

I believe the pro-life movement can only be helped by encouraging these millions of women to come forward, to give their testimony. But they won’t be encouraged to do so if they are rotting in a prison cell.

It is the lock step, low IQ MSM that brought us Trump, and kept him in our face for the last 10 months or so.

I suspect that they will not give up on Trump that easily. He’s their only hope of denying America their candidate.

Let me ask you this.

The biggest voting block going for Trump, who should the convention install as the nominee?

Why should they go for a guy that got 2/3rds of Trump’s level of support? That doesn’t make sense.

In effect, the Cruz plan involves nullifying the largest block of voters. Trump coming in at say 98% of the needed delegates by way of obtaining that level of support, should be disqualified by shenanigans?

I don’t think voter nullification reveals Ted to be a true Conservative. He seems to have learned a lot from the Al Gore tactics in Florida, and now is using them himself.

So, if you feel pressured to kill your kid, then it’s okay?

That’s certainly not Christian thinking.

I don’t think you make a bad argument. I still can’t get behind Cruz, and I have to tell you, seeking to nullify the vast majority of primary voters in the Primaries and Caucuses, doesn’t seem to be the move of a Conservative.

It’s a GOPe tactic.

Ted is far more of an establishment man than you think.

He’s been in Washington on and off since 1999. That’s not an outsider in my book.

He’s using the GOPe operatives to advance his chances, and I don’t appreciate it.

Ted is flipping off close to half the voters this spring.

I can’t support a guy willing to do that.

Cruz supports sovereignty dissolving TPA/TPP. His wife endorses a North American Union. Cruz talks out of both sides of his mouth regarding amnesty for illegal aliens. Cruz is a globalist.

In Utah Glen Beck called Cruz the fulfillment of prophecy. Cruz allowed himself to be called the fulfillment of prophecy - and he reveled in it. Cruz claims to be a reverent person yet he does this wickedly blasphemous act.

Monday, March 28, Cruz humiliated his wife by refusing to testify to his fidelity choosing instead to rant and blame Trump, but only after first allowing a surrogate to deflect the question. This is despicable and cowardly. A week later Mr. Sincerity said he has always been faithful. Nothing says “I love you” like humiliating your wife in front of all the world.

It just so happens that Goldman Sachs employees his wife, it just so happens that Goldman Sachs supports NAU, it just so happens that his wife endorses the CFR plan for NAU, it just so happens that he received a million dollar loan from Goldman Sachs, it just so happens to not be timely reported, it just so happens he votes for TPA/TPP.

Cruz attempted to connect Trump with Beligian jihadies. How? Trump had recently made comments regarding NATO, and since NATO is quartered in Belgium, well there you go.

Cruz claims he didn’t know he was Canadian until he saw it in the paper. Cruz said he would “let others worry about the silly stuff” - which is a complete lack of due diligence.

On policy, character, and competence Cruz’s carefully crafted image is a lie.

I didn’t say it was “ok”. I was describing how the pro-life movement is best served in this situation.
