any debates left. I haven’t watched the last 3 but with just a few guys on stage it could be interesting.

He endorsed Milt Romney, too. How’d that work out?

asking impartially, are there any left?

odd to have none when the field is whittled.

I listen to the “The Word of Promise”, the NKJV Bible audio book when I sleep, and tonight when I awoke to got potty, I was listening to the Book of Daniel at the part where Daniel’s associates conspired against him because they don’t like successful people. They sucker King Darius, the Mede, into having to put Daniel in the Lions Den, although this was probably another one of YHWH’s little jokes on the wicked, so we shouldn’t be too hard on King Darius. Anyway, after Daniel spends the night with the kitties, this happens, and I thought it would be instructive of the situation here in the World today.

Daniel 6

24 And the king gave the command, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions—them, their children, and their wives; and the lions overpowered them, and broke all their bones in pieces before they ever came to the bottom of the den.
25 Then King Darius wrote:
To all peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth:
Peace be multiplied to you.
26 I make a decree that in every dominion of my kingdom men must tremble and fear before the God of Daniel.
For He is the living God,
And steadfast forever;
His kingdom is the one which shall not be destroyed,
And His dominion shall endure to the end.
27 He delivers and rescues,
And He works signs and wonders
In heaven and on earth,
Who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

Americans speak English.

(They also capitalize the first word in a sentence. They understand contractions vs. plurals.)

Also, it’s “mano a mano”.

I would say that Trump is listening to his strategists. Why debate if they say he'll win the nomination without debating? Why take an unnecessary risk, regardless of how small he may consider that risk? Personally, I'd rather see a 3-person debate, but I expect Trump to look after his campaign for now, and to look after our country starting in January.

Cruz and Trump agree far more than 80% of the time (see my tagline from Ronald Reagan). They should be friends and allies, and we should treat both of them as such . . . but I’m waiting for everyone, 100%, no exceptions, on the other side to go first, of course.

This is pure Fantasyland. Ted Cruz will never be President. Not in 2016, and not ever.

...[Cruz] spoke in terms of probabilities.  He sees a low probability that Trump will have the required number of delegates to win the nomination outright...

I suspect this donor columnist doesn't really believe what he said because he didn't elaborate on the reasons Cruz gave for believing Trump can't get to the 1,237 delegate count.

There's a book called How to Lie with Statistics.  If you combine the knowledge in that book with Ted Cruz's superior acting abilities, you can pitch a good storyline.

The New York Times hires real statisticians, plus on those rare occasions that NYT publishes something positive about Trump, it's likely to be true.

Read their interactive Delegate Counter chart and you'll see Trump's chances are excellent.  Currently, all Trump has to do is maintain an average 42% of votes and he'll go over the top in California.

Thank you for that pertinent precedent.
