Cruz eliminated himself with his trade votes and his recent siding with the MoveOn.Org protesters.
Cruz is not expected to do well today.
He has no chance to win the Nom, outright, or via brokered convention.
He/s nothing more than a pest.....he/d be lucky if he retains his Senate seat.
Donald kept him way below the 50% he needed to sweep the Texas delegates. Cruz/s 44% was the poorest showing ever by a Texas Republican....Bush got 88%.
By staying in a race where he clearly isn’t wanted, Cruz shows his deviousness.
He reveals his only goal is to damage the Trump brand.
Cruz/s animosity toward Trump has reached the hatred stage.
Well, considering the Three Evil Amigos are going to pool their delegates, and make a smoke filled room deal, I’d beat it will be two of the three.
Cruz it seems will have to rely heavily on the same “Washington Cartel” to pull him over the finish line. The same “Cartel” he has been railing against for six years. He is proving his whole political career has just been an orchestrated farce.
You don’t have to ‘downplay’ any other possibility. The media is being dishonest about the state of the race and Kasich and rubio’s chances of winning.
They have no chance of winning. It is mathematically impossible for either of them.
Gingrich does the analysis nobody in the GOPe wants to admit.
Scenario: nobody wins the required numbered of delegates in the primaries, resulting in a brokered convention.
Given no candidate has won a majority of delegates.
And Trump & Cruz have won at least 80% of the delegates.
When the brokering begins after the first ballot.
Then Trump & Cruz will strike a deal ensuring a Trump/Cruz or Cruz/Trump ticket.
With Trump & Cruz in control of 80% (or more) of the delegates at the convention, they can—without doubt—cobble together enough votes to secure the nomination for a ticket.
The question is: will they work together to get this done? The answer is yes. This is Trump’s only shot—the GOPe will be prepared for him next cycle. Cruz knows (1) he’ll never get this close to the presidency again and (2) VP is the stepping stone to getting a future nomination.
The only question is who will be the presidential candidate and who will be the VP candidate. But, if Trump & Cruz can bury their differences, the is no scenario (according to Gingrich) where the GOPe can prevent them from being the ticket.
Yep, so pick one. Either way, the GOPe doesn’t like it, but some will go with Trump and some will go with Cruz.
Some are probably thinking, “Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t.”
I'm backing the Mongoose. Cruz is a snake.
There’s a path for Trump or Trump. Nobody else.
