Texas primary results:

Ted Cruz 43.8
Donald Trump 26.7

So first time politician Trump does much better in his home state than sitting Senator Cruz.

-- He is getting his clock cleaned ... --

Aha! I see that you agree!!

-- ... wisconsin makes Cruz the surging candidate ... --

Pre-CISE-lee!

Don’t you love this pollster asking leading, negative questions related to Trump along with asking for preference? Did they do that with the other candidates, no!

Even in running a preference poll they get their brainwashing in.

Failing miserably? You are a scream. Trump winning 22 states and the most delegates. Cruz winning 10 contests and lower delegates. Wake up on May 1st....a true nightmare for you Cruz lovers.

   Loves the cocktail gay party circuit but hates New York.

Are you equating "the cocktail gay party circuit" with New York?

[deport]

New York has voted democrat in the last seven national elections.

[napscoordinator]

Cruz is scum. No other explanation. He loves those gay parties. What does he do for the money? Cruz is getting paid for a service. What is it? Maybe we might not want to know.

No, he is in no way getting his clock cleaned. He is the only one who can win without the convention. You are delusional in your logic!

One little state like Wisconsin does not make a surging candidate when Trump has swept almost half the country!

[fortheDeclaration]

Like Cruz wasn’t in his?

How 'bout those NY values....

Ted Cruz’s Gay Marriage Money

Building belonging to the City of New York will have free for all bathrooms thanks to our Mayor.

If Trump gets greater than 50% in New York, Cruz is mathematically eliminated.

That is exactly what I computed ... but with delegates. If Trump gets 52% of the delegates, Cruz has been mathematically eliminated from getting 1237. I doubt Cruz will get a delegate count in double digits. I expect Kasich to get more delegates than Cruz in NY.

In two weeks it will all be over ... he may stay in the race ... but his support will fall off the table ... no one wants to throw their vote away by choosing the 2nd place guy who cant get there.

Amazing how easy it is to drop context when you are looking for a soundbite.

[fortheDeclaration]

What are you talking about?

[fortheDeclaration]

Yes, Cruz has to struggle from a 3rd place position and he knows that if he does poorly he is finished with any hope of getting the nomination outright.

[fortheDeclaration]

Trump is the only real man running!

[napscoordinator]

Cruz is. He goes to New York for gays night and Cruz is the very important person. My stomach gets queasy thinking what Cruz does for all that money. I hope he takes his AIDS tests every six months.

[fortheDeclaration]

WI won’t be remembered after April.

[Cboldt]

Sheesh, even my dishonest cherry-picking of your remarks didn't give me away! Another hint, in my original post, I asked if he (Trump) would drop out after winning the nomination.
