He looks like Bill Murray?

Yeah, maybe a little bit.

Love Bill Murray.

Cruz will never see it coming when he gets dumped at the convention.


Why would they do that? Cruz is the GOPe’s guy. He was a career establishment guy up until his self interested jumpped on TEA party band wagon. He’s willing playing ball with GOP if it advances his career and that is all Ted Cruz is about.

YOu people are funny. YOu never post a positive article about your boy or boys. YOu only post this mental masturbation about Trump.

I know your type. You’re going to sit this one out if your boy, (ie anyone but Trump) gets the nom. Or maybe you might even vote for the democrat.

Like I said, you guys are funny people.

Ted Cruz likable? Have you tried listening to his voice? It is like nails on chalk.

Anyway, I hope this writer is wrong. I cannot in good conscience vote for a native born Canadian for president of the United States of America. The constitution has been compromised enough, I just do not want to be a part of doing it any further damage.

I at least read it.

A lot of it was Salon crap, but a lot of it made sense.

So go read it before you comment.

as I understand there is nothing magic about this 1237 number. It was pushed by Romney as rules were developed for the 2012 convention. The 2016 rules committee could change it and Trump and Cruz would have major input on the rules for the 2016 convention. It is just too soon to speculate. Trump might get the 1237 number anyway or the rule could get changed. who knows?

"Trump has admitted to buying at least a dozen politicians but you think that isn’t a two-way street?"

Crony Capitalism is a partnership between corrupt business people and corrupt elected officials who give each other bribes from the pubic treasury. Both sides are politicians. The corruption is shared equally on both sides of the trough.

I have stated here dozens of times that I will vote for Trump if he is the nominee. Do I have to make it my tagline?

I guess Cruz’s intelligence scares the average folk...Cruz is a genius for getting the GOPe to back him. Who’d a thunk that would ever happen??? Trump is a train wreck...and I still want a wall and I still think islam is a death cult.

Sorry, I can’t tonight. It’s the 10 year anniversary of the death of my pet clown fish, and I’m going to church to light a candle.

I love Cruz’s voice ... it’s great. He could be an actor.

In fact, he told Jimmy Kimmel that he wanted to be one but realized he didn’t have the face for it.

Yes, Ted is a real person with a sense of humor.

By the way, did you know that vowing not to vote for Cruz if he is the nominee was once grounds for dismissal here.

So make that vow one more time and I will ping someone in authority.

So, you don’t even have the courage to read an article.

You are a sad case, but most trumpers are.

I think everyone hates Ted Cruz. There’s even a song about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pdz2oLwA8l4

2nd,

You really think Salon gives a damn about Cruz? You really believe they are on his side?

Polls in WI are already breaking for Trump. Cruz needs a total landslide victory just to get back on track.

Then he has to run in the NE where he will get totally destroyed by Trump.

God, you Cruz supporters are just absolutely myopic and pathetic. Your candidate is both getting screwed without Vaseline from the GOPe, and they won't give him the nomination anyway even if he does pull off 1,237.

"as I understand there is nothing magic about this 1237 number"

It is 50% of the 2474 total delegates, so it means a majority. If no one gets a majority, it goes to a run-off.

Post why we should vote for your guy instead of why we shouldn’t vote for Trump.

The majority of us here, yes the vast majority of us were Cruz guys at the beginning. Now we’re not. We were hoping that these two would unite, but didn’t happen. Cruz got the big head.

He like Rubio in the end are going to be toast when in fact they would have been our future, apprenticing under Trump.

The past week and this has been, bash Trump. Not interested.

Well, that is patently not true.

I like Ted Cruz and many people do.

Have you noticed there’s no movement to stop Cruz?

Do you honestly think I will click on your pathetic link, but maybe some little trumpers will.

None of what Trump did was “crony capitalism.” It was abiding by leftist, arcane NYC and state laws and paying a King’s Ransom to make sure they were followed.

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and Trump—
Trump took the one less traveled by,
And that does make all the difference.”

Quite appropriate.
