Sad for Ted Cruz, but, like his ranting/raving, pappy and nutcase Glenn Beck...is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. End of story!!!

He can’t say he’s going to win any more, and he can’t steal enough delegates to win because this was publicized all over God’s earth and now he can’t do it. People know what is going on.

He put all his eggs in one basket - Ballot #2.

Now that won’t happen, but he still needs money.

He knows he’s lying, and he knows this is nonsense.

I love how everyone talks about Cruz, but nobody ever mentions that Kasich should drop.

But I could swear I just heard Cruz tell Hannity that Trump just lost 5 elections in a row and couldn’t run a lemonade stand. But I have a question. Is it technically an election when all the delegates are all picked by party insiders at a “convention” and the people don’t get to vote for the nominee of their choice? Because that doesn’t feel much like an election to me.

Ted sees no big picture. He is completely deluded if he thinks he can win a contested convention. The GOPe will try to use Cruz to block Trump and then discard him like a used tissue. And Cruz will have pissed away the massive anti-GOPe majority this primary cycle.

And Supposed Trump does get the nomination? You are not suggesting that he won’t make use of the Establishment? Back in 2008, Obama had an organization in place in all 50 states, one which worked parallel with the Party and the unions. What has Donald done.? He chose not even to compete in Colorado and Wyoming. His train -wreck a minute style has not brought him as far as he hoped. He leads a faction. Not even a majority yet, except in NY which is a blue state where Republicans are a small minority.

Just like the rest of D.C., Cruz is completely detached. Does this guy really think America would stand by and allow the Sultans of Sham to burn the voter ballots and just declare him king?

Not going to happen Mr. Cruz.

No one expected different results in New York.

Wrong. Cruz himself said he thought he could come in second place in some districts. Didn't happen.

His mission is to deny the citizens the ability to stop the illegal alien inundation, same as the RNC/GOP/Cheap Labor Express.

Ted Cruz is mathematically out of winning the race. Now all he can do is be a spoiler, never a nice thing to do. I will beat Hillary!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 20, 2016

If anybody believes that in a contested convention that either Trump or Cruz will get the nod is smoking serious crack

Cruz is using the GOPe to try and attain a contested convention. And the GOPe will use that opportunity to install a RINO. So obvious that anyone but Ted Cruz and his suppporters can see it.

I note that Hillary received almost three times the number of votes that Trump did in NY.

You can go there by your damned self. You and your whole party can go to Hell.
