While its true Trump has won a plurality of the vote, so far 63% of the primary voting community has voted for someone else.

You folks need to keep that little detail in mind while you do your fancy war dance:)

Use your CommonCore math, skeeter, what percentage of the primary voting community has voted for someone else other than CRUZ?

And you Cruz folks need to keep in mind that 80% have voted for someone other than Cruz. So there’s that to keep in mind.

The best case scenario for Cruz is that he manages to win Utah outright. In that case he needs 96% of the remaining delegates to win. After Wisconsin, that goes to 99.9%, and he’s mathematically eliminated after New York.

He probably should have dropped out on Wednesday, but if he waits another 2 weeks he’s done. All he can be is a spoiler. You know what that gets you? The Full Rubio, and a one way ticket to a cushy political consultant job.

"While it's true Trump has won a plurality of the vote, so far 63% of the primary voting community has voted for someone else."

Good point.

I'm voting for Cruz because he has a consistent record of standing for conservative principles.

While he would be 1000 times better than Hillary-Trump has a consistent record of making deals, and backing both sides of an issue. I would expect him to do much of the same in office.

It's not that deals are bad in certain circumstances, but, it brings up the question of what will be lost in these deals?

Trump not being particularly conservative says to me-that conservative stances on issues will be on the bargaining table- to potentially be lost.

So how much more can we afford to lose?

When all is said and done-IMO- There is a much better chance that Cruz will do exactly what he has promised to do-uphold conservative principles-while in office, as opposed to Trump, who makes deals, and may bargain them away.
