Cruz has lost it fair and square and should step aside for the sake of the country.
If his continued efforts at thievery split and destroy the party,
we’ll be saddled by Hillary or burned by Bernie.

Cruz lost the primary vote and is now aiding and abetting the enemy (the GOPe)
in their treasonous attempt to deny the nomination to the winner.
Cruz is a sore loser turned traitor against the grassroots voters.
And the foolish neophyte thinks the GOPe is going to let him have a shot at the presidency
if he helps them block Trump?
Laughable if it wasn’t so serious.

He’ll never win. His negatives are as high as Ronald Reagan’s were.

Agree. And I will vote for the guy.

If Trump, and his accolades, don’t step up their game NOW it will be a massacre.

I’m personally just so happy that we have all these journalists/faux journalists to guide the elections. I mean after all, they brought us Obama, right?

You are correct, and really it just comes down to propaganda.

I don't believe any of these journalists, er propagandists say about Trump not being able to beat Hillary. We know if the GOPe gets their candidate, they will lay down for Hillary much like McCain and Romney did for 0bama.

Trump will not lay down against Hillary. It's just not in his style to do so and will go after her and Bill's corruption. That is something a GOP establishment candidate would never touch.

Many others just consider him a goofy childish clown.

The question on Trump is whether he is a clown or a showman. The difference is subtle but important. A clown is not worth electing. A showman who gets free publicity but also knows what he is doing might become a formidable general election candidate.

Did McCain and Romney insult half the county during their campaigns, other than the 47% remark?

If Hillary gets indicted, he has an outside shot.

That said, think about it - we are nominating a guy who has an outside shot against a butt-ugly, unlikeable, brain-damaged, proven failure, corrupt and possibly indicted drunk weeble. Nice job.

I have liberal friends in the Peoples Republic of Maryland. They are terrified of a theocracy under Cruz (I can’t dissuade them of such opinions). Some of them are giving Trump serious thought, however, because they despise Hillary. I have siblings and their spouses (North Carolina) who voted for Obama. For them, Trump is far easier to vote for than Cruz, since they are unhappy with Democrat politics of late.

Cruz will get crushed, not only by Democrat votes, but by those PO’ed Republicans who won’t appreciate a bait and switch candidate. A brokered convention candidate loses, it is simple as that.

I wouldn’t take Tim Carney’s word for it.

Donald Trump is the most unpopular candidate in the modern era.

Trump needs to admit that he’s unworthy of the American people, drop out of the race, move to the Falkland islands, and live out his days in a shack far from phones and internet.

Pampers are appropriate for Trump. Constant whining, temper fits, and crybaby antics. “It’s not fair!” Comes to mind especially considering Trump has benefitted more by the rules he doesn’t like than anyone.

Change the rules for ME! Because I’m a Richie and have always got my own way if I cry loudly enough!

What is even more amazing is that people buy his constant lies. It’s the reason he made up “Lying Ted” and everyone else he has called a liar. Trump wanted to deflect his lying salesman routine off onto others.

Poll out today showed Trump within two, but it gave the option of a third party vote. That got 19 percent. Without knowing how that 19 percent would vote with just two choices, it’s hard to say.

I think voter turnout among white men will be huge, but he needs to win by 15 or more. Romney won men by 8.

Also, we’ll need to see how the under 35s feel about no Bernie.

if they think like that psycho actress, who said trump getting elected would be the spark needed for a revolution, so don’t vote for hillary, that would help a lot.

Well, the choice is Ted or Donald. Either one can wipe the floor with Bernie or Hillary Rodham Clinton, despite the MSM polls.

Today, while meditating, doing chores, I had an epiphany as to why Ted is not the best choice (though last summer I was all in for him). The reason is this, after watching his brand of politics, and” middle of the road” policy stances on the most important issues, I realized Ted Is a lot like a Richard Nixon.
