Cruz to Rubio: Drop Out

Houston, Texas – The single most important day of the Republican primary season. That’s today, Super Tuesday, according to Ted Cruz, and if he gets his way, it’s also the day the contest will narrow to a two-man race and allow him to square off directly with Donald Trump. After casting his vote in Texas’s primary at Houston’s West Gray Community Center, Cruz told reporters that after 11 states go to the polls today, he and Trump will shoot ahead in the delegate race. “I think tomorrow morning you’re going to see a clear choice with two candidates both with a big chuck of delegates and the remainder of the candidates with very very few,” he said. Cruz’s attention remains focused on rival Marco Rubio, and he essentially called Rubio and the rest of his challengers to drop out of the race. “To get to the nomination you need 1,237 delegates. And so I will say for any candidate who wakes up tomorrow morning who has not won any states, for any candidate who wakes up tomorrow morning who has a negligible number of delegates, I think it’s time to start thinking about coming together and unifying and presenting a clear choice,” he said.

He used the word “I.R.S.” in the same sentence as an attack on Trump.

Single combat could resolve this.

Why does anybody else have to get hurt?

Winner to take on Trump and then Hillary.

They need to use grenade launchers.

I think this is exactly what should happen.

It will get the race down to crystal clarity:

The ESTABLISHMENT/WASHINGTON CARTEL candidate Cruz versus the PATRIOT/NATIONALIST candidate Trump.

Rubio is just muddying the water. Give us a clear choice:

GLOBALISM Cruz versus PATRIOTISM Trump.

[gg188]

Cruzers need a COMMITTED GLOBALIST. A COURAGEOUS GLOBALIST. Not a wishy-washy one like Rubio.

WE---we patriots---have our candidate, Donald J. Trump.

Cruz’s claim of not being a tool of the political elite is like Bill Clinton telling the world, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.”

‘As long as Rubio keeps putting Cruz in 3rd, he should be asking Cruz.”

?

Is that how IOWA worked out?

and what place was Rubio in New Hampshire? 5th?

Funny, how many states has Rubio won anyhow?

" I think it’s time to start thinking about coming together and unifying and presenting a clear choice,” he said."

Time to present a choice between Trump and democrat.

Yep. That’s all I could find. Thus the “non-answer” from Enlightened1 to my question.

An accusation without foundation. A lot of that flying around lately.

Thank you for your response.
