So Red State thinks the destruction of our Nation is hilarious, and all of the Cruz supporters obviously do, too. I'm more than passing. I'm disgusted.

Despite a daunting lead in the polls’
Donald Trump ekes out a narrow win in the popular vote and splits the delegates evenly with Ted Cruz, ten and ten:
But the fight is not over. According to the Wall Street Journal (hidden behind a paywall) Ted Cruz now has at least ten more delegates from Louisiana than does Trump. Via Daily Caller: ...

If TeD Cruz would just get out of the way and give his votes to Trump maybe he would.
Except Duke never endorsed Trump, the media took his comment that he would vote for Trump as an endorsement in order to embarrass Trump.

As Rush Limbaugh pointed out the other day, the fact that the establishment is capitulating to Ted Cruz means conservatives are winning, and not the other way around.
But the Trump Troopers are too invested in their NYC liberal to wake up and smell the coffee.

They are doing TWO things....
They are plotting to STOP TRUMP
And planning how to take from CRUZ
They, all of them, hate both Trump and Cruz and will never let either one of them get the nomination!
that made me chuckle.
But the best is yet to come Bubba:
Your TeamCruz and the GOPe needs to stop and think before they engage in dirty tricks. If the GOP establishment chooses to disenfranchise the will of the people it’s not going to be forgotten by the majority. While the race for the nomination is 2/3 over, that 65% reflects delegate counts only. Some wins are from small caucuses. The bulk of the voting population base is yet to come. Realize there are more registered voters in California than all republicans that have voted to date.
Look at the top delegate rich states:
California 172
New York....95
Pennsylv.....71
Indiana.......57
New Jersey..51
They represent around 15 million registered republicans.
They represent another 8-10 million registered independents.
They represent potentially a million cross-over democrats.
What happens when the votes cast are triple or quadruple Cruz’s into the many millions? And Trump’s state delegation majorities are 4 X Cruz’s. And Trump has won 30-40 or more states?
The GOPe will be destroyed because they can no longer operate in darkness.
Ted’s has no path to win, only to enable complete GOPe control.
I do not find a cheater in every way posssible to be hilarious.
Youi Cruzers have no principles. Ted is a dirtbag and I will never vote for a cur like him.
He is a proven loser.
This is what we have been fighting for, for a long time.
What's the Republican motto?
(From the jaws of victory, we pull defeat.)
Rush has soiled himself. he knows nothing. He is a joke.
So Trump has to win 60% of the remaining delegates (482 out of 808) to win the nomination. So far he has won 45% (755 out of 1,666). If Cruz can win 60% of the remaining delegates he will not have enough to win the nomination but he will have enough to take the lead from Trump.
In a multi-candidate race, the issue has always been not who can win the early primaries with a plurality out of a half dozen candidates, but who can pick up the votes from the candidates who drop out and win with a majority when there are only two candidates left standing. If Kasich would drop out we could find out.
Ummm... That's the only way to win the nomination. It takes a majority of delegates to win the nomination. You can get the most votes in the primaries, but if that does not get you a majority of the delegates, you don't get the nomination. You have to find a way to get enough additional delegates to support you in order to get to a majority.
If Trump would just get out of the way and give Cruz his votes than Cruz would win a majority.
Since neither has a snowball’s chance in hell of happening, then whoever gets Rubio an Kasich’s votes is going to win.
Study, Bubba, study the math:
http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P16/R
THE DELEGATE RACE MATH ~ 35% of the primary election race remains.
Trump won 7,825,264 votes -—> 755 delegates.
T.Cruz won 5,737,119 votes —-> 465 delegates.
~~Countdown to 1237 delegates~~
There are 895 hard delegates remaining of which some are free/soft delegates. Some delegates have already been won by other candidates. We have 808 new delegates ‘up for grabs’ in the upcoming races.
Donald Trump: 755 delegates won. He must win 482 more delegates to reach 1237. That is 59% of the 808 remaining hard delegates. He may lose 397 more delegates & still win 1237.
Ted Cruz: 465 delegates won. He must win 772 more delegates to reach 1237. That is 96% of the 808 remaining hard delegates. He may lose 36 more delegates & still win 1237.
With the help of the GOPe, Ted may now attempt to control, hijack, bribe, disqualify, recount, and other nefarious tactics to block Trump’s win. But we know he is the ‘face of god’ and has been anointed to do this.
***It’s not Ted’s fault that he is smarter and more politically savvy than Donald Trump***
So, stealing and lying and dishonesty equals “political savvy” now?
Well, how very “Christian” of Teddy.
The silence is deafening isn’t it?
If Trump wins 60% of the remaining delegates then he will win the nomination. If he wins less than 60% than he will not win the nomination. It is really and truly that simple.
No amount of whining and crying about the unfairness of the rest of the candidates not capitulating and handing your candidate the nomination will not change the simple fact that whichever candidate gets a majority of the delegates will win and any candidate that cannot get a majority of delegates will post.
Listen, delicate flower, if the primary results in a contested election, different rules apply. Ted, being the far smarter and politically savvy candidate, understands those rules and is already using them to his advantage, whereas Trump and his Trump Troopers are acting like deer caught in the headlights. Those headlights are the Cruz Express, and those deer are about to fly into a million pieces.
Post = lose.
Damned autocorrect.
