No one cares, at this point, who you vote for. Your vote is being replaced, like daily with TRUMP voters. See the results, and count forward.

It is unusual to count personal business practices above the Council on Foreign Relations. LOL!

You DO realize TRUMP simply re-negotiated the loan and paid the debt off entirely. You are really deeply unsophisticated on taking business bankruptcy. It is not a personal bankruptcy as if TRUMP didn’t have the collateral to back up his debt.

TRUMP and Reagan both changed, but you knew that already. Both were divorced. You know nothing about the TRUMP University case. He could have settled but chose to got to court and win the damn thing against a couple of broads who were bought by the Attorney General. 98% of the “students” are NOT suing.

That isn't correct.

If Cruz and Trump together get to the convention with more than half the delegate vote combined, one of them will get the nomination.

Even if they don't have half the vote combined, you would still bet one of them will get the nomination. In that case, however, it is more likely to be Cruz than Trump.

Cruz is getting enough delegates that he will have a hand in play at the convention and may well get the nomination even if he doesn't have a majority of the votes and possibly even if he and Trump don't have a majority.

There will be a total of 2,472 delegates going to the 2016 Republican National Convention and the winning candidate will need a simple majority of 1,237 votes to be the Republican nominee.

I don’t like the character of the man, and you can make all the excuses you like for the choices he has made. I don’t believe he will ever build a wall and I don’t believe he is pro-life. I think he will say anything to get elected. I understand quite well that people are voting for Trump, I will not be one of them. Not because I expect it will matter but because I believe it to be the right moral choice. If that makes me “unsophisticated” then so be it.

If a Candidate takes 50% or more of the vote he takes ALL the candidates.

under 50%and the votes are divided proportionately.

Trump has said far dumber things. But it won’t sway his supporters. He has offered up praise to Planned Parenthood. His supporters now praise Planned Parenthood. He has given 100% support to the notion that private property can be taken away from one person and given to someone with more influence over the government. His supporters now defend the application of that by calling the property owner ‘greedy’. In the last debate, he changed his stance on immigration, now calling for an increase in skilled worker visas. They still support him.

If Cruz would say “I’ll build a bigger wall than Trump and I’ll stop all muslims from coming in” he’d get my vote.

As for PP, it’s the gope that keeps funding them. It will be the same gopE who will fund them when it’s Cruz in the white house.

Unsophisticated was the term applied to your harrumph over TRUMP’s so-called “bankruptcy”. The rest of you is just typical Cruzader bot-thought.

Though not a personal bankruptcy the four bankruptcies were not “so called” they were actual bankruptcies. Honestly, though I could live with those and still vote for him if I thought he was honest. I will never vote for a candidate who believes Planned Parenthood does wonderful things for women. We all have our line in the sand and that is mine. Name calling is unsophisticated but it’s apparently what both you and your candidate do when you find someone that isn’t buying the populist message.

“Cruz has to win New Jersey or New York because he needs the delegates, there is NO other way to win”

Florida has not even voted yet.

And what about California?
