Cruz Delegates Waver as Trump Gains Momentum
National Review ^ | May 1, 2016 | Brendan Bordelon

Those delegates are vital to Cruz’s quest to deny his rival the 1,237 delegates he’ll need on the first ballot in Cleveland. But as they’ve watched Cruz struggle to tread water in a primary increasingly dominated by Trump, many of them, wary of a bitter convention battle that could rend the party at its seams, are rethinking their commitment to the Texas senator.

Right now, many unbound delegates would rather present a united front against the Democrats in November than work to stop Trump in July.


Thank you, North Dakota!

I found the same source, but why post the link after both postings have been removed?

The editor posts the crap and then says “he’s waiting to hear from the waitress and her manager” or something close to that.

Trump won EVERY county in all five states that were contested last week. That’s a historic landslide even if much of it was in friendly territory to him.

I wonder how many other uncommitted, but Cruz-leaning, delegates might have a change of heart if Trump steamrolls most of the rest of the remaining states?

You betcha and more will do the same thing...why? Well two reasons....one, folks like to get behind the winner.
And number 2....if you are the Cruz delegate from Fargo an own the farm implement store and you sell brush chippers and everyone in town knows who you are....well things can happen in smallville America...just saying

I pulled the thread up, read BFAC’s comment, did a search and posted it in response. It must have been removed after I pulled up the thread.

The Renaissance, The Reformation, The Enlightenment...and now we see dawn breaking on another major period of Western Civilization...
The End of Globalism ...
with the humiliating defeat of Cruzism (defined as no borders, TPA, unlimited immigration, more Corker Bills), our national New World Order nightmare ends...

OF COURSE they're freaking out.

They one day want to hold office themselves, either in the party or public office.

And, they're aligned and supporting the most hated man in the history of the United States.

Bar none.

JMHO, the genuine start of the stampede is going to begin shortly after Indiana results are posted when the congressional pubbies up for re-election start to break for their places on Trump’s coattails.....

Just makes me wonder which Executive Chef came up with the recipe for all the crow those bozos are going to have to consume. (...just repeating a part of an earlier post...)
