Where’d Nate Silver say that?

Look up the FR post from his website, its a quote from his article.

Oily Felito is destroying his future right now. That is a good thing, as he is a fraud.

I just figured it out.
Cruz is being used as a tool to get Jeb the nomination.
Once they get a brokered convention, Jeb and Romney will kick Cruz to the curb.

Didn’t you people get into trouble before with deliberately posting the same articles
over and over again, trying to spam the site?

A contested convention that fails to nominate Trump favors a third party candidate because the millions of pissed off voters will bolt the Republican party in a heartbeat.

It was actually over when Trump won Arizona last night. Arizona has a far more favorable demographic to Ted Cruz than does Wisconsin.

However, an upset in Wisconsin will substitute for the loss of Arizona.

I'm predicting that Ted Cruz will win four more states: Both Dakotas, Nebraska and Montana. More than enough for a strong second place finish but not good enough to deny Trump a majority of the delegates going into the convention.

True, but you'll never convince the brain dead Cruz supporters of that.

“Gope is for H1b and illegals, the hell with American STEM professionals, and high school educated and less educated workers for “Cheap Labor Express” Illegal Aliens.”

This ALONE makes them traitors.

This is why if we don’t see a change in who leads this party its time to leave.

I have 4 kids just about to be adults, and these Rinos have ignored the TEA Party call for balance budgets even though the GOP benefited from Tea Pary wins giving them control of both Senate and Congress.

These useless boobs lined their wallets doing for themselves rather than us Americans who are their bosses.

They think we are stupid. 95 million Americans are out of the workforce, GDP isn’t growing, income is down $5k per earner. Work week hours are down many forced into part time pay. Deficits are going up because the Rinos won’t stop Obama.

Why vote for GOP when they do what the Dems did in Reagan’s days. Reagan said about the Dems, “They left me I didn’t leave them”. I feel that way about the present day GOP. We need a nationalist heading the GOP and a new broom to sweep out the barn.

I had to make a road trip a couple weeks ago about 1100 miles. I was in seven different
states and I was amazed at the lack of political signage. Now I wasn’t off the Interstates
that much but still at stops, etc there wasn’t any indication of an election coming up. And
here were I’m living the same is true prior to our primary a couple weeks ago.

One of the big questions now is how much money Cruz has left. He doesn’t seem to have much now, and his donors, aren’t stupid. They will eventually concede Trump and fund congressional candidates that may put up a fight againt Trump.

Only an idiot would believe that the eGOP would consider Cruz, whom they hate with a passion, over several other well establish eGOP candidates.
