Donald Trump’s Arizona win gives Ted Cruz slim chance of winning nomination
The Washington Times ^ | March 23, 2016 | Ralph Z. Hallow

Ted Cruz’s loss in the Arizona primary Tuesday puts mathematics squarely on the side of Donald Trump in the race to capture the Republican presidential nomination, an ongoing state-by-state delegate allocation analysis by The Washington Times indicates.

“Mr. Trump’s win in Arizona means Mr. Cruz must win 90 percent of the remaining delegates after March 22 to get to 1,237. The chance of this happening is equivalent to winning the Powerball lottery,” said former Republican National Committee Treasurer Randy Pullen, who was also the state party chairman in Arizona.

Will Cruz cling around like Kasich, after he's mathematically eliminated from being able to reach 1,237 delegates?

He probably will, because his big, fat, ego, and his delusions, won’t allow him to get out of the race. He has lots of money to grab.

Non eligible, not Natural Born Citizen, Cuban-Canadian, Pinocchio Ted attacking Big Donald at CNN freestyle match.

Cruz "character":

1. Phony summonses mailed out, scaring people to vote for Cruz.

2. Claiming Carson quit, presinc captains told voters "vote for Cruz"

3. Campaigning in the 800 churches, showing video "vote for me" with his preacher/father stomping for him. Rafael Cruz is a Seven Mountain Dominionist and believes his son is the anointed one.

4. "Brilliant" lawyer, did not know he was Canadian citizen and that he is not Natural Born Citizen, not eligible for office of P or VP.

5. Making phony video advertising with lies about opponents.

Just enough to beat Trump in IA, apologize, rinse and repeat?
Liar is the polite term for this Cuban. His father was pro-communist in Cuba, imprisoned by Batista, but now he is refugee?

IRREFUTABLE AUTHORITY HAS SPOKEN

(Oct. 18, 2009) The Post & Email has in several articles mentioned that the Supreme Court of the United States has given the definition of what a "natural born citizen" is. Since being a natural born citizen is an objective qualification and requirement of office for the U.S. President (and VP), it is important for all U.S. Citizens to understand what this term means.

Cruz and Kasich should both drop out, neither having any legitimate reason for remaining. Trump needs to start working Clinton over instead of having his time taken up with petty little boys like Cruz.

Of course he’ll hang around.

Also, needing 90% of the delegates is just as realistically impossible as needing 85% of the delegates, or whatever it was before Mormonville voted.

Right now, this is the delegate count:

Trump- 739
Cruz- 465
Rubio- 166
Kasich- 143

There is a caucus in North Dakota on April 1 and a primary in Wisconsin on April 5. Wisconsin may be the anti-Trump forces line in the sand.

He’ll hang in there until the bitter end. His only goal is to hold Trump below 1237, and hopes that he is rewarded for doing the establishment’s dirty work with the nomination. Of course, he be delusional to think that way, so maybe he’s angling for a huge fund of cash for his senate re-election campaign in 2018. Of course, if Trump reaches 1237 or more by the end of the primary season, Cruz will be dumped like yesterday’s garbage, as will Kasich. He might still get some campaign funds or have his campaign debt paid off, but he won’t be their go-to guy or anything else. Since he and Trump are now so bitter towards each other, it is unlikely that Trump would offer him anything in the general election campaign or in a possible Trump administration.

Of course. He has no chance now. But he’s being used by the GOP to derail Trump on the first ballot. After that they stick their guy in and Cruz gets rewarded down the road.

I don’t care what anyone says, Ted Cruz can too hold Trump to under 105 delegates from here on out.

I think it’s even in that Mormon prophesy.

Oooh Glennnnnnnnnnn...

Cruz can win more states, Kasich can’t. Cruz is on his way to getting the majority of delegates in 8 states, making him the only one besides Trump who has a chance at the nomination under current rules.

There are now weeks separating the next primary and the next ones after that. There is a lot of time for Rubio’s departure to settle in and for the race to shift in Cruz’ favor.

Cruz will not hang around after he is mathematically eliminated.. he has said over and over again that Kasich should drop out because he has no mathematical possibility of winning the nomination and Cruz would not want to be a hypocrite...

I agree with everything you said except the last part. Trump could still offer Cruz something, though not VP, if Trump is a few delegates short. Trump wouldn’t let personal animosity prevent him from securing the nomination. And there just happens to be a SCOTUS seat open.
