Ted's PR strategy isn't paying off. In fact it's killing him. He's continually on the defensive Trump because Trump is controlling the PR narrative and playing Cruz like a cheap violin. It WILL affect the delegate count - bet on it.

Ted "A Time For Lies" Cruz is mind numbingly stupid sometimes. It's political suicide. He actually tweeted this. It's as brain dead stupid as Obama's 57 states perfidy. As long as this is par for the course from Cruz, yes, Trump is on track to 1237!

65K Coloradans voted--they just voted against Trump. That's 11 elections in a row we've won.

Trump is a deductive thinker - he begins with the goal and works back from there - no wasted motion - only what contributes to the result.— Bill Mitchell (REAL) (@mitchellvii) March 21, 2016



Guys like Cruz are inductive thinkers. They are so obsessed with the ideological front end, the actual result is an afterthought.— Bill Mitchell (REAL) (@mitchellvii) March 21, 2016

Is it true you are a bundler for the Cruz campaign? Do you have staff to post these articles when you have to go to the bathroom?

And shouldn't you pay a lot more to JimRob to use his site for paid political purposes?

Actually Cruz’s loser level delegate strategy is just an exercise in futility. Which is why only he is engaging in it. He has zero chance to win the nomination straight up so he is playing games as though he thinks this thing is going to a second ballot. Its not. Trump is on track to get the 1237 needed to win on a first ballot or so near to it that he only has to negotiate with a few unbound delegates to get pushed over the top on the first ballot.

Ted Cruz hits the mathematical wall on April 26th and soon after that he will be planning his exit strategy as the calls for him to GTFO will start.

Ted's strategy:

Under regulations established in the 1980s, delegates cannot take money from corporations, labor unions, federal contractors or foreign nationals. But an individual donor is permitted to give a delegate unlimited sums to support his or her efforts to get selected to go to the convention, including money to defray the costs of travel and lodging.

From the Washington Post, 4/11/16.

This is starting to remind me of Spy vs Spy.
