THIS JUST IN ON TWITTER: Even though @realDonaldTrump won delegates in Texas the @TedCruz- @georgepbush #RickPerry cabal is refusing to slate Trump supporters.

And Cruz needs to go into the convention with as many delegates as humanly possible, and that means standing and fighting one on one.
I don’t particularly like quitters. Tapping out when you are honestly beaten, OK, but preemptively giving up is exactly the Republican mode we have been bitching about. Cruz should not do it.
I agree
Like a said: caviling.
However, what **is** possible is that Senator Cruz could pick up the vast majority of the not-Trump delegates--those belonging to Rubio, Kasich, et al.--which would pull him up into a neck-and-neck race with Mr. Trump.
It’s the final 2 minutes of the 4th quarter.
Close your campaign for the good of the Country, Liberty and Freedom.
Cruz should stick it out. Then he could make Trump *and* the GOP leadership a deal to have a “unity” convention. It shouldn’t be for VP, but to be the nominee for the SCOTUS. And the senate leadership would have to agree to confirmation beforehand, while preventing the Democrats from torpedoing his nomination.
And truthfully, he should also get to suggest the next two nominees for the court for Trump, as a thank you, because a conservative court would strongly help a Trump presidency. A divided or liberal court would block him at every opportunity.
This seems to be a win-win. It would make Trump’s presidency more effective, it would give Mitch McConnell a breather because Cruz would no longer be a senator, and it would balance the SCOTUS again.
Conservatives should be all in favor, because Cruz might be on the court for 30 years, and if another conservative was nominated and confirmed, it would make an entire branch of government conservative.
Why do you say that? Because you think that Trump is not going to lose or because you think that when Trump loses it will be somebody else's fault?
Most normal campaigns don't spend the time during the primary season apportioning blame for their eventual general election loss to others, the way Trump supporters do.
Perhaps he will rack up 300+ delegates, or perhaps he won’t. With Trump’s penchant for shooting off his mouth, he’s his own wild card.
I know you want everyone to capitulate before the game is over... With Rubio now sidelined, the equations are different now.
I find interesting how there are such loud protestations here about Cruz’ continued presence “thwarting the will of voters... yet the voters of the remaining 1/3 of the states in the Republic have yet to be heard.
If you’re so sure of Trump emerging victorious.. .relax and let it all play out as designed.
“Close your campaign for the good of the Country, Liberty and Freedom.”
Country, liberty and freedom are best served when all states have their say. There are 21 more to go, including winner-take-all California.
NO WAY!! There's no reason to drop out. Cruz still has a shot at this, especially if he picks up pretty much all of the not-Trump delegates. And in any case, the more delegates he has, the more leverage he will have, as the only social and constitutional conservative in the race.
Like I said try to think of something credible to post that at least one person might believe. Fantasy ramblings don’t get it.
Sore Cruzerman is a curable disease you know. :-)
“JUST IN ON TWITTER”
Well, gosh.. THAT’S infallible truth right there. How about sharing the SOURCE of that Twitter announcement?
Cruz will do nothing unless it benefits Cruz. By now, anyone who doesn’t see Cruz is in this for Cruz, not the country, doesn’t want to see it. He’s as much a problem as the rest of the RNC.
In addition to pulling winner-take-all CA.
At a brokered convention Cruz would be the first to go. Arch conservatives are an acquired taste. And on the national scene losers. Ted defrauded the people of Texas by knowing he was not going to do his job. If calling Mitch a liar makes him a conservative so be it. I need more then that.
And Trump is all about altruism, right? Please.
I think we can all pretty much agree that the biggest reason that Trump hasn't been declared the "presumptive" nominee is because the GOPe doesn't want him under any circumstances.
That being said, isn't the pressure to drop out something the establishment actually created? Perhaps if conservative candidates hadn't been bullied into dropping out in past primary seasons we wouldn't have been stuck with losers like McCain and Romney.
“So we shouldn’t let the other states weigh in? I’d be pissed if I was in California and I didn’t get a choice in who the party nominee is.”
Welcome to my world. The primary is always decided before it gets to the W. Coast. In 2008, I had a choice of Romney or McCain left....WOW!
Sorry bud, the equations aren’t different. Cruz has no path to the nomination. If you can tell me which April primary other than Wisconsin Cruz has a chance of winning then...hell, who am I kidding. You can’t.
Cruz. Can’t. Win.
I know it.
You know it.
So...you can keep claiming that you want the “process” to play out, but at this point all it does is hurt our chances in the general, or worse—get us stuck with a GOPe ticket.
Trump wins the general in a 50 state landslide.
