(CNN)One year ago this week, Ted Cruz became the first of 17 candidates to argue that he could unite the Republican Party behind him.
Now, he has his a chance to prove it.
On the anniversary of a presidential launch that knew nothing of a man by the name of Donald Trump, contests and converts won of late will offer the clearest signal yet of whether he can indeed consolidate the anti-Trump movement and eventually defeat the billionaire front-runner.
Cruz is favored to win this Tuesday's caucuses in Utah and is hopeful of sweeping the state's 40 delegates by eclipsing the 50% threshold needed to take them all home. And while Cruz's campaign says Trump has a large lead in the early vote in winner-take-all Arizona, which also votes Tuesday, Cruz's aides are projecting confidence that they can gain on Trump by then...

Cruz is looking good in the West.
1 year and only won 3 primaries. Pretty pathetic.
Ted Cruz’ big weak!
I’m going to laugh so hard if this thing goes down to the wire and California (of all places) hands the nomination to Ted Cruz...LOL!
Suspended your campaign, Ted.
Pre-congratulations to Ted in his seeming upcoming win in Utah. There is nothing wrong with friendly and polite competition between Americans who want better for us.
I like Carly for VP- that would help in California.
Yeah Carly is a winner in CA. Oh wait, she’s not...
1) Trump wins outright
2) Brokered convention.
Cruz will not win in either scenario - he needs 87 percent of the remaining delegates to gain a majority, and Trump still has large states such as NY and PA where he will gain the lion's share of delegates. There is no way he gets that many with the remaining pathway to the convention.
Circle 4/19 on your calendar.
That’s the day that will mark the point Cruz not being able to reach 1237

You for got you /s tag
Ted Cruz, probably the most unsuccessful but claimed to be successful candidate in history. He has won less than 25% of the primaries and still have deluded his most rabid followers (they are dwindling) into thinking he is winning! What a great sucker story, I will be telling this to my grandchildren...
Mr. 17% was gonna win Florida in a stunning come from behind victory, IIRC.
So you admit Cruz can win it. I think California is going to hand Ted Cruz the nomination. How fun would that be...LOL!
Also, if it is a brockered convention, and the delegate counts are close, Ted Cruz also has a VERY GOOD chance of winning.
I wouldn’t count your chickens just yet, DBoy.
Agree with the LOL!
All your campaigns are belong to Trump!!!
