onald Trump has received only a little over 35% of the popular vote. Nearly 65% of the republican vote has said no to Trump. A house divided against itself cannot stand, and that is the position the GOP finds itself in right now. Republicans are split between 5 candidates.
Ted Cruz Could have easily won Arkansas had he received just 40% of Carson's vote tally and Rubio could have won Virginia with had he received only 18% of Kasich and Carson's vote tally. In short, Kasich and Carson are doing Trump a huge favor.
... ... ... Going into March 5th Cruz has the most momentum of the underdogs, having out performed expectations in two states, Oklahoma and Alaska and having beaten Trump in 4 states now.
If anyone is to beat Trump it will be Cruz. If it becomes a two man race between Cruz and Trump on March 15th then Cruz will have the upper hand in the remaining contests.

By your quixotic logic, the same applies to ANY ONE of the other [current] losers. Why do you use this as a hit against Trump and not, say, Rubio, or Kasich, or Carson, or Cruz for that matter?
What have we here?-)
Ted Cruz Could have...
Rubio could have...
Sweeter word were never spoken by the Trump Haters:-)
Well, duh! Cruz could also have won if he received more votes than the other candidates.
Nearly 65% of the republican vote has said no to Trump
how many have said no to Cruz or Rubio? I know, I’ve heard it many times: “it’s different with them”.
How is not voting for someone the same as saying “no” rather than saying “i prefer someone else but he’d be ok”?
And why stop at republican voters? What % of total people in the US have not voted for Trump. You can make up a really dizzying number with that argument (80%? 85%? 90%?)
Well, 65% said no to Romney and he was nominated easily.
I think most Cruz supporters vote for him only because its a spite vote against Trump. Even in Texas.
Same ole crap argument. You could use that same idiocy-logic on everyone in the race.
Nearly 65% of the republican vote has said no to Trump.
And 78% say no to Rubio.
Is there a point to this inverse math?
Wake up Cruz Bots he was supposed to carry the SEC State and South Carolina
It's been over
“Nearly 65% of the republican vote has said no to Trump”
But more than 65% have said no to Rubio and to Cruz.
Numbers are a bitch, aren’t they?
No Cruz will not, he really has no pathway left after losing the South to Trump. Cruz is not going to win the delegate heavy states left in the northeast.
Will not win Ohio or Illinois either.
The fact is that it is unlikely that for the plurality of Rubio’s, Carson’s, or Kasich’s supporters to coalesce behind Trump. Cruz has a fair shot at the nomination if Rubio drops out.
The Ted Cruz fantasy tour rolls on!
Keep Marco in too, and have these chowder heads split their “I hate Trump votes” for their egos.
And if you talk about destruction
Don’t you know that you can count me In.
Just because you wish it so does not fact make. In the ‘fact’ game thus far, there is no rational basis to support your assertion. It is just wishful thinking.
I realize that you know in your heart that neither you or your sympathetic brothers/sisters would cut off a finger before you vote for a nominated Trump, but you have no idea about what Rubio, Kasich and Carson supporters will do. It is all still just wishful thinking.
About the only thing you could reasonably assured from me, for example, is that I’d vote proudly for Ted Cruz if he were nominated. I’d bet you will not say the reverse for Trump. And that is why Ted is going to end up with the short of the stick.
