If Republicans could do math we wouldn’t have a $20 trillion national debt.

Both will be highly paid lobbyists. Just watch.

Like Trent Lott did. How the rigged game is played.

Cruz has every incentive to rack up delegates.

Utah should and other western states should be more friendly ground.

Great post. Highlights just how “Anti-Establishment” Cruz actually isn’t.

The amount of votes Trump is getting is amazing. Can’t believe they don’t want those votes. This is all about power, nothing about policy, don’t let them fool you. It’s Trump or bust at this point

Cruz without Rubio is going to be formidable in the comming primaries. Next time, hitch your wagon to a conservative.

Not even half way there and you are calling it.

Wishful thinking on your part.

Cruz has a chance, Kasich needs to go home.

I think if Cruz split, closely, the remaining states he could create a coalition of the anti trump candidates. By that I mean he and Kasich could stay in the race with the assumption that the non-trump folks would consolidate their delegates. There is a path that way. It is still a long shot.

I am so sick of hearing Ted Cruz is Establishment!

Trump supporters will find out just how anti-Establishment Cruz is when the time comes!

Trump & Cruz will come together to deny the RNC a brokered Convention.

How do the suspended candidates delegates get allocated?

So two guys should get out because they can’t get 1237 on the first ballot, but the other guy is falling short, too, yet he should stay in. Did Trump get 57% of the delegates yesterday.

It’s not over until the convention.

Cruz will be in until then.

I, along with millions, will be behind him.

Cruz may need 84% of the delegates to get the nomination, but he needs less to get more delegates than Trump and then Trump will have to concede after he publicly stated in the debates that the candidate with the most delegates should get the nomination. I agree that Kasich has made his point, he can get Ohio for the Republicans. He has made his case for the VP nod and can now get out.

kasich is gope so he has no “choice.” he’ll do whatever his gope masters say. he’s basically done what they wanted him to do—win ohio, but now he’s their last vote splitter.

so basically i think the gope will encourage both kasich and cruz to stay in. that’s their best option for the convention against trump at this point.

For him not to get them, Kasich would have to stay in and between him and Ted Cruz, they would have to win more then 43% of the remaining delegates.

That is just simply, flat out wrong.

To put it in the simplest terms...

If Kasich stays in, it will be somewhere around 950-Trump 750-Cruz, 400-Kasich, 150 Rubio, etc...

If Kasich gets out, it will be about 1180 to 1100 with either Trump or Cruz in the top spot. In a one on one contest, Cruz will beat Trump in many if not most of the remaining states.

Now picture the arguments that will be made by the GOPe in each of these scenarios... Which one will give them the easiest excuse to steal the nomination and give it to Ryan?????

Now do you see why Kasich is staying in?

So the 15 or so primaries to go representing millions of voters shouldn’t have any choice at all? Just because they vote later than most of the country. A vote in New Hampshire must count more than one in California or New York.

Screwing over millions of voters doesn’t sound much different than screwing over millions of Trump supporters if he fails to hit the magic number.

Besides if the party truly decides not to go with Trump what makes you think there even is a magic number?

I hope that now, after last night (Trump, 5; Cruz, ZERO) the Cruzers here on FR will have the SELF-RESPECT to shut up, leave, wherever Establishment Globalists go to on the Internet, and leave FR to the PATRIOTS. Please:

Please, Cruzers: get out of your mom's basement and get some sunshine. The people have chosen the USA over one-world-government, North American Union, TPP, TPA, NAFTA, CFR, Ted-Trade, Heidi-Trade, a million new H1Bs, Syrians settled everywhere in flyover country---etc. All the stuff the Republicans funded for Obama.

Unlike the lying Repub senators of 2014 (which includes Cruz) Trump isn't LYING when he says he'll replace Obamacare, secure the border, reduce the debt, reduce the budget, rebuild the military, etc. The Republicans PROMISED that in 2014 but did the OPPOSITE, they gave Obama the trillions to destroy America. And where was Cruz during that? On TV raising hell, working behind the scenes, mobilizing and uniting the people? No, he was hob-knobbing with Goldman Sachs, Club for Growth, tax scofflaw Robert Mercer, the gay hoteliers in NYC, and selling influence in exchange for fifty million dollars (opensecrets.org, FEC.gov---it's all public record) including giving ONE HALF MILLION DOLLAR gift to Carly FIONARINA or whatever her name was.

You guys are losers and after polluting this forum for months the least you can do is now shut up., though it would be nice if you cleaned up after yourself, the pant loads and diaperloads you posted on here about Trump and about The Face Of God Anoited Snake Handler Ted Cruz.
