If Ted Cruz were to win the GOP Nomination on the 2nd ballot or further down the line, he will have won the GOP nomination based on STOPPING Trump, not SUPPORTING Ted. That's not really a great way to win is it? Also, if he couldn't beat Trump at the ballot box, how will he beat Hillary?
Are you willing to fight, kill and if needs be die for your guy?
We are!

LOL.
Yes, the anonymous poster brigade will surely smite all of Trump’s enemies.
Perhaps we could cast Sarah Palin in the role of Jean D’Arc?
“Also, if he couldn’t beat Trump at the ballot box, how will he beat Hillary?”
That’s it! If you say a conservative can’t beat Hillary, then conservatives should stop all this opposing liberals stuff. Support Trump.
But to win the presidency, Trump is going to have to get a large share of the intelligent vote.
Which raises another question: When will Trump start campaigning to win the intelligent vote?
Is that an honest question, or a propaganda tool used to influence the weak-minded?
Do you know how polls and sample groups work?
Do you realize that a different group of people are voting in republican primaries than are being polled in general election polls?
+1
I hate to put you on the spot but since you seem to know Trump . . . I'd just like for you to tell me straight-up that Trump is a Reagan conservative.
Hillary is far less popular than Obama
Obama barely won in 2012.
Romney lost because conservatives were de-motivated to turn out and vote.
Cruz is very conservative and motivating. That is obvious in the record turnout in primaries thoughougt this election primary season. That is true in states won by Cruz and Trump.
270towin.com shows the exact answers to your questions and Cruz does much better on this prospective problem than Trump.
Not even close! Reagan was endearing, charming, and funny...none of which can be said for Ted Cruz. Not by any stretch of the imagination.
He’s in worse shape per the only polls that matter. The vote that has already taken place.
——Kind of simple really, by the use of force, instead of President Trump at the ballot it will be General Trump the leader of the Second Revolution, but this time the North and the South will be united.-——
Wow, that’s seriously delusional....
You are willing to kill for Trump ? Really...?
My I suggest a mental evaluation is in order...
You haven’t figured out yet when and if Trump wins he will get real cozy with both the GOPe and the libtards....
He’s a deal maker, not an ideologue....
You are correct 35%. but still that will move either candidate quite a bit.
Anyone can see on 270towin.com that Cruz does much better than Trump at possibly beating Hillary.
Cruz has more than three times the electoral votes as Trump.
If he chose Kasich as his running mate, he could dramatically improve RNC chances in places like Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Only an idiot believes general election polling this far from election day. Those polls are done to mold opinion not reflect it. Reagan should have called it quits in April of 1980 by your logic.
Do you think Cruz is obligated to support Trump getting delegates.
Do you avoid everything reading and listening to everything Cruz says with such devotion that you missed out on the fact that Cruz has done exactly that?
Both camps have been calling on kasich to drop out for weeks.
Pardon?
The 1100 number is only part of the story. The guy who said it thinks that it should be easy for trump to get the remaining delegates to get over 50% if he gets to 1100. The process won’t stop when he gets 1100. He’ll still have to prove that he can lead the party by getting at least 1237 delegates.
>> The guy who said it thinks that it should be easy for trump to get the remaining delegates to get over 50% if he gets to 1100.
Yes, and who knows. I take pretty much all of those “wonk people” and their blather with a huge grain of salt.
I have voted (for Cruz); I’ll now watch with interest as actual events unfold and not worry too much about what “those guys” say will unfold.
Go ‘way, newb.
I like your tag line, by the way. Clever.
Utah poll Clinton 38, Trump 36
MS poll, Trump 46, Clinton 43 (OK, he leads withing the margin of error, but this is a state he should be leading by 20 points).
Arizona poll Trump 38, Clinton 38
Texas Trump 39, Clinton 37
You begin to see a trend here? He is within the margin of error AT BEST against Clinton in deep red states that he should be leading by double digits! And that is BEFORE the Clinton machine really starts to go after him.
