BTTT
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.
Cruz will not drop out.
He has been promised a win at any cost so they are telling him, “just hold on Ted, hold on a bit longer”.
He will get 0% in NY and NJ
Why even have an election? Why not just have polls and everyone who isn’t on top can drop out.
Sheesh!
At least he has a chance...unlike Rubio and Kasich who stayed in despite having little or no chance at all.
And just cause your down at half time in a game doesn’t mean you quite playing.
Time to start paying attention to the delegates - who by and large are members of ‘the establishment’. If Trump doesn’t get 1237 on the first vote, the unbound delegates could nominate anybody - even Jeb.
That’s the game now - deny Trump 1237 and ‘fix’ the situation at the convention.....and of course lose to HRC.

Anyone thinks we can’t beat Cankles like a rented mule, look at these shocking primary stats at post #20.
Yawn.
There are uncommitted and released delegates that get to vote too. And there’s powerful incentive to add delegates to help prevent (or enable) rule changes.
The primary is over.
Trump will be our nominee, it’s past time we came together and focused on retaking the white house!
GO TRUMP!
By that reasoning, the Republicans shouldn’t waste resources on “safe seats” against the Democrats. Those who prefer a different candidate should have the option of voting for that candidate to let his wishes be known for as long as that candidate is willing to stand for the seat.
In any event, Trump suupporters should rather see Cruz supporters than Kasich sypporters as delegates.
The headline is misleading. Cruz needs 87% of the remaining delegates to win on the first ballot. The number he’d need to win a subsequent ballot depends on how the delegates committed to other candidates break after the first ballot.
If you are a Cruz supporter there are only 3 ways to look at Ted’s actions. First, he is all in with the GOPe to derail Trump and set up a brokered convention. Second, he is blindly naive in thinking that at a brokered convention, the GOPe would choose him or even consider him for VP. Third, he’s totally delusional and feels he has a chance to win outright. Any of the three options should give a supporter pause, but it is likely that Ted is fully aware of the first option and may believe the second. Neither of which is good.
But to me this is all really simple. Cruz has been promised no fight from the GOPe in his reelection effort in 2018 if he stays in to the end. He needs to go and suspend his campaign and let Trump run up the delegates. What Cruz does will tell you who he is really aligned with, but I think most supporters already know that answer.
I’d say probably, yes. A large portion of the states left are more blue and not friendly to conservatives. I doubt he has a hope in hell at this point. How unfortunate
Ted Cruz does not need to go into the convention with the majority of the delegates to win the nomination. All he has to do is keep Donald Trump from getting the majority.
Once the voting is past the first ballot, nobody is going to migrate to Trump. Even with the threatened putsch, they are not going to go for Trump.
Cruz is delusional.....still hanging in there. His major move was to ally w/ the Establishment. He/s now helping GOPeers sink Trump.
He cannot possibly overcome Donald/ massive lead. If Cruz/s strategies were working, he’d be sitting in Donald/s catbird seat.
THE FACTS ARE THESE Trump got 1,300,000 more votes than Cruz.......thousands switched from Dem to Repub to vote for Trump.......not Cruz.
Cruz is a dam pest.....always underfoot, always got some plan or path that never works. He banked it all on the south and came up empty.
He/ll be lucky if he retains his Senate seat. Donald kept him way below the 50% Cruz needed to sweep the Texas delegates. Cruz/s 44% was the poorest showing ever by a Texas Republican....Bush got 88%.
The Houston Chronicle cited experts who say he’ll have to posture carefully for the future, and his political career.
Time to make a deal with Trump!
Cruz is not expected to do well. Going forward he really has no chance to win the Nomination either outright or via brokered convention.
The No. 1 arguments against Trump is hes lying, not real, faking it. However, consider this- would ALL the Power players be this scared of him if that were true. People with power information control resources etc are scared of him doing what he says hes going to do. Why would they be Threatened if hes a fake and one of them?
Now, I like Cruz, but we have 4 to 5 judges coming up, a possible world war, etc. Major stuff. Bottom line, voting for the GOPe, Left, Soros backed Cruz will not get us a conservative president, it will get us a Democrat or worse.
Cruz cannot be prez or v p; he wasn’t.born on American soil...
