Cruz cannot ‘win’, he can ‘steal’ though.

I tend to support Trump, but his continuous name calling is wearing thin.

Cruz cannot win. Not in any race that includes the other candidates.

Narrow as in almost non-existent. Cruz isn't going to be the nominee 1st, 2nd or 3rd ballot. The only reason the establishment is letting him believe this fiction is to try and stop Trump from getting 1237 and the nomination on the first round. It's Trump or an establishment candidate. That's the choice.

Oh, and I think Trump wins Wisconsin today.

But you’re able to block out Cruz’s constantly blaming Trump for everything.

I really think they want to foist Ryan on us which would give us a “choice” between two democrats in November.

Cruz has zero chance at 1237, so they should really stop lying

Wisconsin is not that important. It is being hyped as important in order to further a narrative.

The fact is that Cruz is a distant second. Any delegates that Cruz gets from Wisconsin will be hyped, dovetailing with the narrative. The chance of him having 1327 delegates is practically zero. The best case scenario for Cruz is that any delegates picked up in Wisconsin delay the demise of his campaign.

And you’ll whine like babies when Cruz loses NY to Trump and complain that the “rat bastard Kashich wouldn’t drop out” is why.

Be prepared for a swarm of angry Trumpsters descending upon this thread to insult you and your mother for daring to challenge their King. Thoughtful analyses such as yours have no place on FR anymore, dontcha know?

The last couple of elections, the power brokers gave us a choice between a democrat and a communist.

I was referring to the title and to the article that says “Win Outright” and explains that to mean “Ted Cruz’s path to pre-Cleveland 1237 is admittedly a narrow one- but it does exist. “

It does not exist if the other candidates remain in the race.

If Trump and Kasich both die or quit, then there’s a mathematical possibility for Cruz to win ‘outright’.

You will not remind me ‘when Cruz wins’ outright. It won’t happen. I believe you’re astute enough with mathematics to know that it’s not going to happen.

Not me. I trust in Christ and no one else.

Just like Trump supporters ignore everything about Trump that says he isn’t even close to being a conservative.

Yes it is still mathematically possible for Cruz to get to 1237, however he’s not going to.

The argument you are making is simply yes, enough delegates are still left that if Cruz wins them he can get to 1237, but the reality is he has no chance of winning enough of them.

That’s not some Trump conspiracy, that’s just mathematical reality.

At this point the Cruz backers are basically fighting a lost cause. No path to the nomination. I know thy console themselves with the notion of a contested convention and their great savior somehow pulls something out of his hat to win... But the sad reality is if we should wind up with a contested convention the nominee will wind up being none of the above. Not Trump, Not Cruz and Not Kasich.

On the 26th he’ll officially have no mathematical path to 1237, and then the only hope Cruz supporters will have to cling to will be the delusion that a contested convention will somehow save Cruz.

It is perfectly fine to ‘trust’ in him. The problem sometimes is that his chosen path is not always what one might expect or personally want. Hence the line, “.....works in mysterious ways.”
