“Ailes is now back to searching for a candidate the channel can rally behind. “He’s thinking, What do we do about the whole damn thing?” one of the news executive’s friends said.”
The voters of Texas helped him, BIG TIME, by giving some Oxygen to Cruz. If things go as hoped for by the GOPe, Cruz will stop Trump from winning the nomination on the first ballot, and thus ROMNEY WILL BE OUR CANDIDATE in November.
Hopefully voters in other states are a bit more intelligent in who they vote for.
OK, just got it!
