Cruz Clobbered in Five Northeast Primaries
Texas Tribune ^ | April 26, 2016 | Patrick Svitek

Posted on 04/28/2016 6:21:38 AM PDT by xzins

Appearing in New York to claim his sweep, Trump declared the race effectively over, calling himself the presumptive nominee. The billionaire also reiterated his criticism of the deal Cruz and Kasich have struck to split three upcoming primaries, calling it a "very weak signal." Trump also spoke dismissively of Cruz's increasingly public search for a running mate, saying the senator is "wasting his time."

In Maryland, with 64 percent of the vote in, Cruz was coming in third with 19 percent and on track to collect zero delegates. The results were less clear in Pennsylvania, where Cruz’s campaign was hoping to have a significant amount of supporters among the 54 uncommitted delegates the state will send to the GOP's national convention in Cleveland.

The one place where Cruz stood a chance of winning committed delegates was Rhode Island. By cracking 10 percent statewide and in one out of two congressional districts, he was on track to score three delegates.

By the end of Tuesday night, Trump had a 390-delegate lead over Cruz, 950 to 560, according to the Associated Press. Kasich had 153.

It was such a bad pick for so many reasons.

We haven’t even considered the fact that the FEC is questioning the loan of half a million to Carly by Ted.

Why is no one questioning if that’s being held over his head? It’s an obvious answer to such an awful selection.

>>Why would any working class voter support Cruz because of Fiorina?

Cruz and his GOPe masters don’t care about the working class. They invented the buzz phrase “consistent conservative” last year as his trademark to pacify the bumper sticker voters and make them think he cares.

“.......Cruz was coming in third with 19 percent and on track to collect zero delegates.”

Cruz was coming in third ????? A Yuge victory for him, no?

Cruz was coming in third, seems to be becoming a pattern

Cruz was coming in third, instead of a victory speech, he made his VP pick

Cruz was coming in third, called on Kaysick to get out of the race

Cruz was coming in third, so he celebrated in Indiana with fellow Hoosiers by dribbling, then driving for the ring

Cruz was coming in third, so he celebrated in Indiana with fellow Hoosiers by dribbling, then driving for the ring, he takes the shoot, ......nothing but oxygen! Swoosh!

Cruz was coming in third, so to celebrate, he took a 4 point shot from middle court.

Cruz was coming in third, so he celebrated in Indiana with fellow Hoosiers by coming out from the locker room, ready for play, wearing gloves, tennis shoes, sweats and a “T” shirt which his kids had drawn their dad’s number, 0, on it.

Cruz was coming in third, so he celebrated in Indiana with fellow Hoosiers by dribbling, then driving for the ring, and making a lay down, another swoosh.

If Cruz were to become president, it would be Obama photo op 2.0, riding a girls bicycle, a mop-ed, throwing out the first pitch halfway to the catcher, mountain biking with training wheels, in mom jeans. Does Cruz dance? I know his veep sings?

All blue states https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_states_and_blue_states so no big surprise. Huge dem cross over, which will cross back before Nov, which is the only vote worth counting.

So far we’ve just weeded the 17 candidate field to 3 and Kasich hasn’t a snow balls chance in Hades. And they have all spent and raised a ton of money they get to keep if they’ve not spent it all.

Want change NEVER GIVE to the National orgs, they prop up aging RINOS who have been in Congress to long, give direct to your preferred candidate.

LOL accents, are regional, and family. My Grands are Knoxville, TN southern, so are my parents, I on the other hand have a weird Yankee/Southern speech pattern as I was raised 30 miles from Chicago in Hammond, Ind. I picked up a combo of both accents in my speech habits. After 26 years back in TN a lot of people still can’t understand my rapid Yankee/Southern speech pattern, ingrained from baby to 28 in the north. Hubby still has his lower NY speech patterns and he’s 76. He had to learn to speak slower because he taught Jr College now that was a polyglot of accents to cope with for 20 yrs, and is a 20 yr career Ret. SCPO.

Only small boards have ever voted for Carly. Edward the Third only gets caucus states. They deserve each other.

That was not the point I was making. Just stating fact.

Trump is pro combat for women and transgender bathrooms.

Cruz is opposed to both. Both are on record stating those FACTS. Simple as that fact. Which you want to ignore. I can’t change stated facts no matter which man wins. Google it.

Now that the tables are being turned on you males about the confused gender in a wrong bathroom, will you set up a big stink? Will Trump? Will Cruz? Only time will tell as it’s only getting started and will spread.

Just plain commonsense tells you those facts as the Left continues to push it’s agenda on us. Pretty soon there will be no men’s or women’s bathrooms or locker rooms or clothing store dressing rooms under their agenda. This effects just Schools, large public places like malls have a family bathroom along with the 2 traditional ones, since many small businesses have only 1 bathroom with a lock on the door or you ask for the key to use the bathroom.

Last time I went to a concert they still had male/female bathrooms will it change, who knows what the Left will push through for the 2% of confused gender people.

Tables turned girl invades males bathroom! She thinks she’s a male. Words Mean Whatever the Left Decides They Mean
http://freedomdaily.com/words-mean-whatever-left-decides-mean/

I CAN’T CHANGE the STATEMENTS these 2 men have made. You chose who you want in Nov that is the only vote that counts. Primaries only weed out the weakest ones. Another of those pesky facts neither of us can change.

BOL!Fiorina was born in Texas, but pretends she’s from California, although she now resides in Virginia*, whereas, Rafael “Ted” Cruz was born in Canada and represents Texas in the U.S. Senate!

*Snarly lives in the DC Virginia area and is up to her neck in pandering for $'s with the crony capitalists, who pay rectums er, grifters like her.

“I think she ran against Boxer and got defeated.”

Boxer, who has been brain damaged for over a decade, kicked Snarly’s butt.

Snarly ruined HP and is not a plus with people in the computer/digital world.
