I guess that could be the case. After being fooled, tricked, lied-to and raped for 20 years by the Republican Establishment, they’re gonna have to ‘do’ first and stick their promises up their butt for all I care. Actions, not words. Results, not excuses.

If it truly is the latter, then the elite establishment is truly bucking for armed revolt.

Of which they will easily suppress. It's not 1775 or even 1786 any more. Consider the minute-men had the same military grade equipment as the redcoats. Now? Notsomuch. What's left of the emasculated 2A is just another facade designed to fool the general public.

If the elites do resort to a power play ie finally laying down their cards and informing the sheep they're powerless serfs and they better follow orders ... or else, it would have to be the military coming over.

The path towards truth is often hard & bitter.

[. Now either he’s insane or he knows something we do not. I would say the latter is the case, the elites have made plans with him.]

Are the voting machines in Indiana made by Diebold?

Maybe Cruz either 1) believes he’ll get the nom, 2) has been promised the nom, or 3) is being paid to stay in. Or maybe he’s just scorching the earth, being the globalist he is.

CA 172
NJ 51
IN 57


Total 280

Leaving 222 additional delegates in seven other states where Trump will surely get one-third of the total available which will be an additional 70 (+/-) delegates. That will (at least) offset any shortfall in CA, NJ, IN.

IT’S OVER!!!

“actually with the unbound delagates in PA which were surveyed - he has about 991-1000 so he only needs 237-246 and thats a cake walk right now”

That is what I was thinking. The unbound delegates in Pennsylvania seem to be trending towards Trump.

That is right. Carson and Huckabee comes to 9 delegates. That will help.

“If we use your low number of 991, that leaves 246, or 42.19%. “

I have seen the 991 number bandied around a lot. If you add the 1 Huckabee delegate and the 8 Carson delegates that makes 1000.

“I donated to Trump also. I will again.”

I ordered a hat and yard signs. I guess that might be a donation.

Cruz is headed for a long stay in a rest facility where he’ll spend his time in robe and slippers, leafing thru his scrapbooks, and holding cabinet meetings with his stuff animals.

Excellent analysis. I think its clear he is going to fight on. My prayer is he takes the high road after and saves his career and comes back stronger.

I am a Trumpster, but that does not mean I wish Cruz ill. I just don't think Cruz has the social skills or moral courage for the job yet. Maybe in a few years he will.

The one thing the Cruz-Florina ticket has done is bring back humor to FR!

Cruz has destroyed his political career.

He knows this is his last chance that is why he is bitterly clinging to it.

We are witnessing Cruz commit political suicide in real time. It’s painful to watch.

I don't why it should be painful, just another lying immigrant who -this time- was rejected by the electorate...

NO YOU CAN'T!!!

I have a feeling that the nomination isn’t the only thing clinching right now.

Stupidity has noting to do with it.

For them, it’s an issue of survival.

People will do amazing things to protect their rice bowl, not to mention to stay out of prison.
