Ted Cruz Might Still Be Able To Stop Donald Trump All he needs is for Rubio to drop out three weeks ago.
By NATE SILVER
The good news for the Republican “establishment” is that there’s a man who might be able to stop Donald Trump. The bad news is that it’s Ted Cruz, someone they may dislike almost as much.
Cruz, who won Idaho on Tuesday while finishing second to Trump in Michigan, Mississippi and Hawaii, is within striking distance of Trump. So far, 29 percent of Republican primary voters have voted for Cruz as compared with 35 percent for Trump. Meanwhile, Cruz trails Trump by 100 delegates: not a trivial gap, although only one more than the 99 at stake in winner-take-all Florida next Tuesday.
What if Trump and Cruz had run one-on-one? [SEE TABULATION BELOW]

Mono e Sleazeball?
I know, I know, I know.
If ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ were candy and nuts, we’d all have a merry Christmas.
Which one?
I figured it was GOPe.
Jeb Cruz is over.
This Uniparty troll scam is done.
Between now and Tuesday, Trump will dominate the news, people won’t be interested in any of the others. I’d say that his chances of winning 4 or even 5 of the primaries on Tuesday have improved.
Here’s a key: “Kasich could cost Trump votes but give him states”
Rubio and Kasich staying in may actually help Trump by allowing him wins by plurality in winder take all states.
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
Cruz would beat Trump one on one.
Ted Cruz lost the nomination tonight with his comments.
If toads had wings they....
So he’s not strong enough to win on his own? He needs others to drop out?
We have been hearing this every night at FR since Cruz beat Trump in Iowa.
You know if it was 2 weeks ago, I would think that the St. Teddy would give DT a run in a head to head contest.
Tonite? LOL!
Hand Teddy some strawberry jam packets.
If a frog had sidepockets ... gunga Dannism
Ted and Heidi are all about the North American Union. Cruz lost my respect when I realized this. Trump won my support when I began to see how much the GOPe covets power and is willing to sell out the Constitution and the People it was written for.
