He will have been mathematically eliminated after the next Tuesday or two.

No one is mathematically eliminated until someone wraps up 1237 delegates.

Too small a sample size to make such an observation. You don't have to be a true believer, just someone who kept an eye on the front page when Cruz held the filibuster. Sarah Palin was a true unknown, and she was a net gain for the failed McCain ticket despite the media's best efforts.

Regarding Goldwater, you could have had Jimmy Stewart and Dean Martin on the ticket and it still would have been destroyed in the wake of the JFK assassination.

Well, right now I hear his nauseating voice droning on in another room. It’s like nails on a chalkboard. I don’t think it’s so much that nasal sound, it’s the arrogance and condescension. He thinks he’s so darn smart, but as my mom used to say, there’s two kinds of smart. Book smart and people smart (she called it moxy)....Crooze may be book smart, but he sure isn’t very wise.

I can’t vote for Trump because he is everything Reagan wasn’t.

I understand that. And I too have a deep respect for Reagan. See my tagline.

Trump (at this point, anyway) is no Reagan. I knew who Reagan was. He was the real deal. Trump...I just can't be sure who he is.

But these are desperate times. Another Dem in the White House could well finish this country. So I've got to go with the person I most agree with who has the best chance of winning. I see that person as Trump.

Palin was rather unique. She had a poise, and a charm, that most politicians just don't have. Reagan had that quality as well. Cruz, no way.

you could have had Jimmy Stewart and Dean Martin on the ticket...

Jimmy, a movie star and war hero, and Dino, a crowd favorite...what a ticket that would have been. I think Dino could have even won over Walter Cronkite. If I ever invent a time machine to go back to the past, I'm taking your Jimmy/Dino suggestion with me.

I voted for Rubio, so I don’t have a dog in the fight, but what I truly believe about Cruz is that if he is the nominee, he will have a carefully planned and well thought out strategy to defeat Hillary Clinton and he will execute it better than any Republican candidate in the last 20 years.

Whether that gets him a win I can’t say.

I believe Trump will have no such plan. He will bounce around seemingly aimlessly and will follow every rabbit the Clinton’s toss in front of him. When his adulteries and divorces are brought up, he will say whatever comes to mind as if he had never thought the question would come up. He will spend the whole campaign explaining that what he said yesterday was not what he said yesterday. It will be painful to watch.

Maybe Joe Six-Pack should lay off the brewskis and Wheel of Fortune, and pay attention for a bit. Democracy cannot be successful if citizens do not spend the minimum amount of effort necessary to be reasonably well informed.

“Someone who was a Canadian citizen until 5-14-2014”

Exactly....how in the world is he even allowed to run? The stupid is strong with this one.
