The truth is that Cruz was supposed to cream Rubio in South Carolina. But he lost.

This is lawyer speak. The closing argument in a lost case.

Watch the pilot for “Better call Saul” to see what I mean

The evangelical candidate lost the evangelical state and the guy who did better than he did is the loser.

Interesting.

Yeah. Personally I think he snatched defeat from the jaws of victory with his questionable campaign tactics. He had the evangelical vote locked up until the bad behavior started in Iowa.

As an Aerospace Mechanical Engineer, I "paint by the numbers" ...

The vote tally difference between Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio was 0.20 percent ... a minor difference ...

a "statistical tie" in the eyes of folks who work with numbers (such as engineers, navigators etc) ...


That being said, as a staunch Ted Cruz Florida campaigner, I'm nevertheless compelled to congratulate Rubio (whom I despise) for his mathematical second place South Carolina finish ...



All that being said, I'll also say that it's a "mathematical certainty" that Donald Trump ...

benefited by South Carolina's open primary where many (exact number unknown)

Code Pink, 9-11 Truther Lunatics, Abortion Mill Planned Parenthood supporters and Black Lives Matter "Community Organizers" voted for ...

The Donald.


And whether they openly admit it or not ...

EVERY Donald Trump supporter (with any intelligence) quietly knows that I speak "da truth" on this subject.


Nevertheless ... my "genuine" political battlefield congratulations to Donald Trump ...

for enlisting the Armies of Mordor to defeat "Reagan Conservatism" in South Carolina


As General George S. Patton, Jr. would opine ...

Victory is victory ...


=============================


Ted Cruz invested significant time (one year), money and organization in fighting to win South Carolina ...

I was personally invited to campaign there as a volunteer ...

Somehow, Ted Cruz came in third ... DEEPLY disappointing ... even though it's a statistical tie with Marco "Amnesty" Rubio ...

I would project tonight that Ted Cruz feels as badly as General Washington after one of his many Revolutionary War defeats ...

or as badly as General Eisenhower after the NAZIs kicked America's @ss at Kasserine Pass ...



Will Ted Cruz learn to effectively counter-punch to VICTORY like the U.S. Navy at the Battle of Midway ?

Ten Million still-fightin' and PRAYING Ted Cruz campaigners say "YES" !



Wonderfully ...ALL of America's Conservative Patriots have tasted VICTORY in South Carolina where the "unsinkable" U.S.S. Jeb Bush juggernaut ...

was SUNK with HEAVY ($ 100 million) losses ...

Both Rubio and Cruz are toast.

The final nail in the coffin will happen in 9 days when both will be defeated in their home states.

They will fade fast after that.
