Even as Donald J. Trump trounced him from New Hampshire to Florida to Arizona, Senator Ted Cruz could reassure himself with one crucial advantage: He was beating Mr. Trump in the obscure, internecine delegate fights that could end up deciding the Republican nomination for president.
“This is how elections are won in America,” Mr. Cruz gloated after walking away with the most delegates in Wyoming.
But it turns out that delegates — like ordinary voters — are susceptible to shifts in public opinion. And as the gravitational pull of Mr. Trump’s recent primary landslides draws more Republicans toward him, Mr. Cruz’s support among the party’s 2,472 convention delegates is softening, threatening his hopes of preventing Mr. Trump’s nomination by overtaking him in a floor fight.

“Anyone want to predict Cruz’s future after this?”
Yeah, he gets the nomination on the 2nd/3rd ballot.
Of course they do...after getting strong armed directly by his religious over bearing holier than thou self centered egotist and having a chance think about it, even the money and / or trips they were bribed with to promise to switch their second or third votes with begins to stink like old fish too...slizz ball!!!
Cruz can be a tar sands lobbyist representing Alberta’s oil interests in Ottawa.

I really feel sorry for him . Flailing
For Limbaugh and Beck and Levin, it comes down to optics: they didn't create Trump and Trump in fact shows how powerless they are. They can't stand it that they have been revealed to their audiences as incompetent and wielding zero real influence.
SCOTUS for someone who has shown as little respect for the people as he has, I hope not!
First newspaper to say Cruz is not eligible to win...
Only in Wisconsin, Texas, and a few caucus states...
Vote Trump
The GOPe hates Cruz as much as they hate Trump. They were just using him to try to stop Trump. No way is Cruz going to get the nomination at the convention.
Still hope and expect that Trump will have the req. no. of delegates on the first ballot.
Naa, Cruz will get the nomination if it gets to the 2nd ballot.
You forgot the ‘Farting Preacher’ Robert Tilton. Check out the youtube videos.
WOW! Thanks for that link to the attempted Massachusetts hi jinx!
“Naa, Cruz will get the nomination if it gets to the 2nd ballot.”
Either you and Cruz are both delusional, or you just forgot the sarcasm tag.
Nailed it.
All the more reason that the delegates will make sure that doesn't happen. This thing comes nowhere close to getting past the 1st ballot.
Cruz is Texas Toast, and anyone who dreams otherwise is truly living in an alternate reality.
Vote Trump
