It's not yet mathematically impossible for Cruz, it's extremely improbable. See my Post #100, I do the math.

Cruz supporters are certainly voting for a Canadian.... or a Cuban.... Certainly not for a natural born citizen.
But hey, he’s our guy so screw the founding fathers.... they didnt know crap anyway!

I've always voted for the candidate who is the strongest advocate of limiting government. Whether that candidate has a chance of winning or not.Fair enough. Simple and you can sleep well at night. I'm a lot more flexible and pragmatic, I want to help the better of the available choices win.

So that's Ted 's one plan to win I guess, which is why I say it's "highly unlikely".
Do you think Trump might drop out soon? Do you think Kasich might do better than Ted in states like New York and Pennsylvania if it was Ted vs. John only?

I was polled the other day. I still have a landline. I was asked to rate candidates as favorable or unfavorable. I got talking to the pollster. I’m not alone.
I’ve been reported to the moderators because there’s a candidate I will not vote for. You get to guess which one.
Good luck

Nope, I am voting from Cruz. I have liked him from the beginning, but it took me a while to settle on him as my choice. I needed to see how it would play out with all the other candidates. Cruz is getting my vote in the Washington State primary and he will get my vote if he wins the nomination. Trump will never get my vote.OK. So will you vote for Hillary in Hillary vs. Trump? Or just protest by not voting or throwing vote away on 3rd party?

yeah I know, you convinced me that its a choice between the GOPe and Trump, therefore Ill stay home. I don't think so. I'm pretty sure you'll show up to vote for the GOP-e approved candidate whether it be Romney, Ryan or Bush. Cruz will too. I won't.

No I’m serious. If my only choices are the GOPe or Trump. I’ll stay home. Not sure how many more times I can say it.

Great analysis. It's really on Ted to drop out and unite the Party. He has clearly been bested. If he were
really the champion of Conservatism he would do exactly that, and be part of stopping Hillary.
Again, I credit him with being smart but his ego is huge, and he's not a person who is very good at diplomacy, compromise or, apparently, losing gracefully.
He may hate Trump more than he loves America.
He may be so deep inside his bubble that he isn't thinking clearly.
Historically "good sportsmanship" in campaign contests includes gracefully admitting you have no path to the nomination and letting the party come together.
It's part of his character weakness that he can't seem to do that. Instead he's going to keep everything going and may ultimately divide the party and guarantee Hillary's election.

At least you admit you’re voting straight Democrat. I’ll just stay home.

“Cruz is merely the GOPes weapon of convenience against Trump.”
True enough and you can take that to the bank.
To: Parley Baer
I will take it a step further. A vote for Cruz is a vote for Hillary.
To: LearnsFromMistakes
My post 124 to you was in response to this:
If Trump drops out and Cruz gets the rest of the delegates, then the GOPe doesn't get to pick anything., not the quote at the top, which isn't yours.
Sorry for the misattribution. Editing mistake.

“Trump Supporters are voting for Hillary to be elected president.”
That’s a ridiculous assertion which isn’t even close to being within the bounds of reality.
There’s absolutely no enthusiasm in this country for a Hillary Clinton presidency. None. Meanwhile, Trump attracts tens of thousands of supporters to his rallies, and routinely drives the daily narrative surrounding the race.
Simple observation alone should inform even the most casual watcher that, if the general election comes down to a face off between Clinton and Trump, she’s going to be massacred.

“On the one hand you guys try to paint Cruz as carrying the water for the GOPe. On the other hand, Cruz cant win because the establish hates his guts.”
If you’ve followed Cruz with an unbiased eye, it’s plain as day that he’s a water boy for the establishment. Lofty words are one thing, but deeds are quite another. It’s his deeds that tell the truth of who and what he really is.
The reason Ted Cruz has failed to capture the lead in this race, is because most right leaning voters have graded him on his actions, and have found him to be wanting. It has nothing to do with whether or not the old bulls in the establishment “hate” him. The fact is, they’ve gathered to his side because, ultimately, he believes what they believe, and can be trusted to forward their globalist agenda.

But my main point is that Cruz is embedded with GOPe, either for his own gain or to
further theirs. It is this point upon which everything hinges. To accept it is to conclude:
either Trump OR GOPe.
I am not angry with Cruz supporters who fail to accept this, because as I said, we ALL
were Cruz supporters sometime previous. I am just fearful for what this lack of
reassessing Cruz's candidacy will portend.

But you’ll do your best to block the majority from voting for their candidate?

A majority isn’t voting for any candidate. So try again.
