Kasich and Rubio need to throw their support to Ted Cruz and get this thing over with.

I’m not planning on sitting out this election but I really am not enthused about Cruz at all.

I'm with you. I can't get over the dishonesty of Ted Cruz. I voted Ross Perot due to Bush's 'read my lips' comment.

I may have to write someone in for the first time.

I agree. You’d be giving the GOPe credit it has never before shown in elections.

That said, I did see on Twitter some Rubes people in KS saying they voted for Cruz to stop Trump.

One thing is clear: Cruz does better in caucus states where his followers can intimidate people who aren’t “pros” in the political system.

Or . . .
Cruz does better in caucus states where his followers SHOW UP.

You’re not following Twitter. I won’t say they love Cruz, but they are frothingly desperate to stop Trump and are 100% backing Cruz . . . for now. Just long enough to bait and switch Rubes or Romney at the convention.

Cruz has little to do with Wall Street.

His wife says differently. If Cruz gets a whiff of being 'the man', he'll take every dollar from Wall Street.

Come on. That’s just silly. Trump had a RECORD 38,500 “show up” in IA, more than any other winner-—and lost. Trump’s people show up. But Cruz does do better in caucus states and you cannot deny that there is a lot of intimidation in such settings.

Cruz has little to no chance of winning purple states and he won’t win any blue states.

His opponent is going to be Hillary Clinton, not JFK or Godzilla. They said the same about Reagan. They were wrong.

They didn’t do the Massachusetts thing and reregister.

Trump won big here in MA because of the reregister of independents and some dems.

But we also have a very well known local talk show host and one fairly conservative local newspaper who are Trump friendly.

You never know with the Maniacs :)

[Rubio, just seem can’t build up any steam, no matter how high FOX hoists him on their shoulders.]

RUBIO faded away during the last debate.

Trump did very well in Massachusetts, but Maine has quite a few of its citizens on the dole.

Reagan wasn’t a smarmy little twit that teamed up with the likes of Rubio to attack the front runner.

On ABC a little bit ago, they had Bush in top place for the states that hadn’t provided any returns yet. Wonder what that was about?

As usual, the Left will stop at nothing to get what they want.

[If Cruz is the nominee, many, many, many people sit November out.]

I should hope TRUMP supporters would put country before ego. This CRUZ supporter will vote for TRUMP if he gets the nomination.
