No. This is false.

Unless Trump genuinely blows it, it's still his to win or lose.

Sorry, but saying Cruz is the favorite is just a silly thing to say. Wishful thinking at best.

Amazing how Cruz’s NH trouncing was a victory because it wasn’t fertile ground and Cruz didn’t put all that much into it.

Yet in Iowa where a New York guy in farm country who spent the least and had no ground game was considered a disappointment, a big loss.

Will we ever get past the slanted coverage?

The article says Cruz is not the frontrunner.

“I'd give Trump something like a 60 percent chance at the nomination at this point and Cruz a 35 percent chance” says the author.

Cruz still has to win the majority of the delegates in 8 states to even get nominated at the convention. Right now it’s:

Trump 1 state
Cruz 0 states
Nobody 1 state (Iowa, where Cruz won but didn’t score a majority of the delegates)

After S.C. it will be Trump 2, Cruz 0.

I think, rather, that Trump is going to save the GOPe from Cruz.....which is not to say that Trump is establishment. But as we all know, the GOP hates conservatives more than anything else.

We need ONE non-Trump to coalesce around, to take down the 33%er. As more candidates fall away, I’m hoping that man will be Cruz.

But wait - if Cruz is the front-runner because he’s heading into Evangelical heavy primary states, then why isn’t he cleaning up in South Carolina, instead of being 15 points behind?

And that assumes that Cruz really does win big in the south, where he's expected to.

There is the expectation statement. What will the reaction be if the expectation isn't met?

Assuming that an “evangelical” (which isnt a monolith) will just vote for Cruz because he does a good preacher act, is as retarded as Hillary going to a black organization, and breaking into “jive talk” and assuming that they will crawl over burning bodies and man-eating sharks to vote for her.

Trump didn’t put much effort into Iowa either and came in 2nd, or maybe 1st - so Cruz comes in 3rd and it’s his race to lose? Geesh, some people are desperate.

No, Trump is the favorite.

Allah is overthinking, as he typically does. There is no easy route for Cruz to win at this juncture. First, he has to win SC. It’s as much a must-win for him as Iowa was.

Trump’s leading in SC by 16. These are pre-IA and NH polls, but I’ll bet that the polls taken between now and the 20th, will show Trump well ahead. Trump is also leading by double digits in FL, AL, and GA. Cruz is leading by 4 in TX, and a couple points in AR, but these are pre-NH polls.

Trump will win most of the Super Tuesday states.

As the race moves to South Carolina, however, Cruz has a ground game in place and the electorate is much more tailored to his strengths...

RCP has Trump up over 16 points in SC. cruise is frontrunner from behind.

Well, there is the Roller Derby race and the Indy 500. Cruz is the frontrunner in the Roller Derby.

White Evangelical Protestants like Trump more than Cruz. Cruz played a John The Baptist like role in setting the stage for revolt against the GOP so someone more powerful can finish the job (no disrespect intended with the comparison).
