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.

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.

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?

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.

And forget Trump hints of '3rd party run'

There is already a defacto 3rd party movement. Its the people disgusted with the GOP who are voting for Trump and want him to redirect and refocus the party. Many of Trump's voters will simply not cast their votes for a GOP tool who will continue the party's penchant for big government, spending, allowing unchecked immigration, and accommodating Democrats.

Cruz is being used by the GOP. He is not a member of the GOP club and never will be. They just want him to take down Trump and then they'll turn on him in a New York minute. They will never allow him to get the nomination under any circumstances.

It will not exist much longer, and they you will have to admit Cruz is finished. Expecially after his scandalous past is exposed.

Sorry to have to explain ONE MORE TIME to all the Trumpsters and Trumpettes that Trump is going to lose if this goes beyond the first ballot. Articles like this one at 538 are becoming increasingly common.

Here is the Link to the 538 article .

Some things, don’t doubt me.

The goal is to seat an R in the Oval Office and to keep senate and house seats.

It’s Trump or Hillary.

Only Trump and no other R will have the majority of the motivated base of voters as a foundation to win the General. TRump is the conservative choice over Cruz by millions of voters.

MSM and GoPe just propogandizing all of us with this 1237 nonsense and contested convention. This nothing more than a negotiating technique with what they hope is from at least a position of a little strength, with Trump. Just trying to attach some strings to him.

Cruz for all purposes is done, everybody but Cruzers know this, it would serve no purpose for GoPe to choose him, he can’t win the general, GoPe hates him, GoPe gets nothing out of it, pisses off millions of Trump voters they need to hold own to seats.

Cruz has to endorse Trump or Hillary is Prez or his political future outside of Texas is done.

tee hee. Don’t you love this stuff???

Cruz is reduced to working the smoky back rooms and the Godfathers who run them to try and raid Trump of his delegate lead.

Poor Cruz, running a Spin Campaign to bypass the vote of the people who continue to make Trump their frontrunner.

Hell of a deal, huh? One of truth and virtue? LOL!

GO TRUMP!

The ability to create fake reality is only possible if you stay within the basic laws of physics. You can fake peoples view of reality but in the end, its not really real is it?
