"Yogi Berra said, “It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.†But here goes. Barring a major political earthquake, Ted Cruz will be the GOP nominee later this year." ...
"In summary, Trump is maxed out and will decline as his voters are sobered up by thoughts of a November disaster. Cruz can pick up voters from every other camp, as people focus more and more on the candidates and the realistic alternatives. Cruz is more electable in November, has better organization, and will attract both opposition and establishment GOP voters. He has momentum, and his victory in Iowa will provide another boost. Rubio could challenge, but Trump and Cruz would have to split evenly and Rubio would have to capture all of the establishment voters. Nobody else can come close.
Cruz wins, possibly in a landslide."

I would say it is going to be Cruz or Rubio with Christie still a plausible dark horse. I don’t think anyone else is going anywhere, including Trump. But we’ll know better after NH.
What is this...the 360th time that we've heard that Trump has peaked?
Only for Jim.
“Cruz is more electable in November, has better organization, and will attract both opposition and establishment GOP voters.”
Its utterly delusional to think Cruz will attract opposition voters. And no way he approaches Trumps ability in that area.
Speculation. Do some research and you will see that Trump is aligned exactly as the past eventual nominees have been.
I want Cruz to be the nominee, but I have to admit it will be a hell of a come back if he is.
Trump is dominating everywhere except Iowa. But today there are a couple new polls out with Trump back on top there.
Right now, barring a major scandal, I don’t see a way the Trump steamroller will be stopped in the primaries.
This qualifies as Breaking News?
I didn’t put it there...
Not one vote has been cast. We all make the mistake of falling for these polls, none of which can be taken at face value, nor absolute truth. We have a long way to go; keep your powder dry, and refrain from undue optimism for any candidate.
I want a bully protecting America from the invaders while conducting the business of building our economy.
He already is taking them from Hillary!....Fun to watch too! So it's not at all delusional.
70-30 Trump
Goebbels would be so proud of you.
And Cruz won’t get the black and Hispanic votes that Trump gets, nor the Indies and not even all of the GOP base.
I like what you said!
I want a candidate who respects and values the constitution and our conservative ideals.
Donald Trump had zero credibility from a historical perspective on either of these issues.
Ted Cruz has a definitive record on both.
It’s really an easy decision if we are truly being honest about wanting a solid conservative candidate.
No he isn’t, but Trump has and shall take even MORE than the 20% of them, that he has now.
You are allowing your emotions and biases get the best of you and not facing reality.
