Cruz and Trump to Duke Out The Nomination in the Game of Delegates
Things I Trust More Than Hillary ^ | Feb 11th, 2016 | Timothy Martens

Polls are only so accurate and seem to change on a whim I will assume that they are halfway decent. Here is how I think the race will come down to Cruz and Trump from a statistical study of the polls with a little of my own intuition.

Cruz and Carson are vying for the same voting block, which is one of the reasons why Carson is going after Cruz so hard. Carson due to his multiple strategic failures is falling. The further Carson falls the more Cruz rises as the majority of Carson’s supporters do not see another valid candidate who shares their value system. When Carson eventually drops out which I predict will be shortly after South Carolina or Nevada Cruz will pull even with Trump in the national polls though Trump may still have a statistical edge on him.

... ... ... Ultimately Trump and Cruz will have to Duke it out in the game of delegates, although Cruz may have the statistical advantage he may be playing catch up at this point having less delegates.

It will be Kasich to unite. The country has to be united not just the GOP or the Dems. Parties have killed the country and should be canned for our good. The present system has allowed money to buy the Presidentcy. It is time to have Congress decide who is President. Similar to other countries.

Having congress decide the presidency is an insane idea!

We need to educate the people, and the Government should not be the educator.

Then go to another country. You know, there is some value (sometimes GREAT value) in having gridlock because one party controls the White House and the other the Congress (or at least one branch)...for example, post-1994 election under Clinton. Nothing much got done, which was MAGNIFICENT for the country.
