I think that reality is beginning to dawn.
ROTFLMAO!
Ted Cruz has lost. He will have been mathematically eliminated after the next Tuesday or two. His only hope was to get the nomination at a contested GOP convention, which would irreparably splinter the party, and guarantee a GOP defeat in November.
Simply put, that's not going to happen. Not even the crooked GOPe is that stupid.
Vote Trump
Hey I’m all for Trump mounting an independent bid. 100%.
I think if he runs against Hillary, he will win the presidency as an independent. Absolutely.
However if Bernie ends up the democrat, I think Bernie will win if Trump is an independent.
Neither way, does Cruz even register. He will be nowhere.
Give it up. Join with Trump against the democrats. You’re not going to win the presidency.
Cruz just won’t. He is completely gaming the GOP primaries, and turning off more people all of the time.
Go Trump. :D
Nonsense!
Trump is winning Republican primaries, is ahead in electoral votes and should be the Republican nominee for president.
Red Jahncke doth protest too much, methinks. #;*)
Gee... how’s whatshername.... some lady who’s married to some guy from Ohio who until very recently trolled for Ted all the time... maybe still does... yeah her... how’s she doin these days?
I don’t think Trump will go 3rd party (unfortunately). The GOPe will string Cruz along far enough to cripple Trumps chances and then kick him to the curb. Right-wing voters (both independent, conservative, and Republican) will walk away. Then whatever loser the GOPe puts up will be handily beaten by hillary dillary.
Talk about winning the battle and losing the war...
There are still the NE primaries this week and next. According to most polls, Trump is going to do well.
Cruz is the one who needs to be concerned. He is still lagging Trump by about 200 delegates and his only hope remaining is California. If Trump scores high in NY, it may be mathematically impossible for Cruz to get to 1237 delegates.
Soon, when the voters of Texas send him packing, Teddy can go back to representing Communist Chinese and Big Pharma! Maybe he can win some of those. He has a bad record so far in private practice!
This is BS.
Trump is prohibited by law from running in some states as an Independent, Ohio being one of them, if he ran in the primary as a candidate for another party.
NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN.
The writer has taken some liberty...Trump needs 60% of remaining delegates...he also will win with 50% on the first ballot; in fact, anything from 1125-1150 and he’s in. If you look at it from the 1150 perspective, it’s pretty well over.
Out of one side of their face, Trump supporters mock Cruz for not having the support of any of the members of the Senate and out of the other side of their face they claim that Cruz is teh establishment choice.
Boy the hysteria is really nearing a crescendo. Trump is the heavy frontrunner and presumptive GOP nominee. He has no need to think about a third party.
So who do you square your support of Cruz with you post from a few years ago below? Did the constitution change? Is it a living breathing document?

Those are two VERY different things! Dr. Fukino should stick to medicine and not dabble in constitutional law. I don’t care if he was born in the Lincoln bedroom! If Barack Hussein Mohammed Obama, Senior (A British subject from Kenya) is Mr. Obama’s father, there is no way he is a natural-born citizen!! Native-born, perhaps, but that’s not what the constitution calls for.
One of the talking heads Sunday morning shows claimed there are 945 delegates in the remaining contests, not 700 as the author of this piece claims.
This is the “newspaper” that endorsed Cruz today? (What do you call that, a self-hating New Yorker?)
Very funny:
“Doubt his phoniness? In an interview last week with Hamodia, a Jewish newspaper, he declared that “one seminal event that impacted me as a child was the Entebbe raid,” in which Israeli commandos freed hostages of an airplane hijacking. “What the Entebbe raid said to me was, if you’re a terrorist, you may capture an Israeli. . But you are going to die.” That struck Cruz as “a very Texan approach.”
The raid that spurred such deep thoughts about the Jewish state and the Lone Star State was in 1976 — when Cruz was 5 years old and not long after his family moved from Canada.
All an independent run by Trump would do is hand the Presidency and the Supreme court, and probably the Senate, to the Democrats.
And the CBS national poll today was? Is trump ahead 18 points or 25 points.
Hardly. Wet dream of the uniparty.
