Despite coming up short in state’s Republican presidential primary, Texan picks up more delegates and controls key convention roles.

Cruz’s ground game is going to win this
Yeah, Ted, go back to Calgary.
If Cruz is “toast” Then Trump is burnt.
I stand for Sen Cruz, our solid Conservative hero, or the cult of personality centrist authoritarianism known as “Trumpism.”
Cruz has blown his chance to ever be President now or ever.

Well that AND the fast that 40 of the 54 delegates from PA are uncommitted they can vote for whoever they want! So Trump can probably count on them not voting for him. I believe that keeps him from 1237.
Which would guarantee President Clinton.
Yep..Ted is bought and paid for.
Ted Cruz, thanks for doing a great job and value every vote. Keep up the good work. Wishing you a strong finish.
Never fear — if Cruz somehow steals the GOPe nomination most of us will vote for the loser in the general election again in 2016, just like we held our noses and voted for Manchurian Candidate McCain in 2008 and Romney The Magic Underwear Cultist in 2012 like the establishment told us to.
If all goes really really well, Cruz might get just as many electoral votes as Romney did. There’s not a single state he’s likely to win that Milquetoast Mittens didn’t win in 2012, delusional Cruzbot fantasies aside.
LoL this is 3 week old news. ...
Cruzers! Trump gains on Cruz in Alaska!! Trump gets 3 forfeited Rubio delegates and Cruuuz only gets 2! Trump catches Cruz in the Alaskan Caucus ...LoL.
So now it is dishonest and unethical to follow the rules and procedures that have been in place for decades? You really do live in bizarro world...
Well if GOPe wants to keep cheap labor Cruz isn’t their guy and they’ll go with someone else. Cruz is tougher than Trump on illegal immigration. Trump is for amnesty allowing people to come back after being deported. Cruz says if you get deported you’re banned from returning.
Cruz’s position is the only one that makes sense and will encourage people to self-deport. The analogy is a theme park popular ride with a long line. If you cut in line and all they do is send you to the back of the line (if you get caught) then everyone will keep on cutting because there is no real penalty. But if you ban the person from the park they won’t cut because the penalty isn’t worth the risk.
After the Bush gang uses Ted to stop Trump from 1237, they will toss out untrusTED like a used toilet paper, and anoint either Paul Ryan, Rubio or Jeb! in the open convention. But the Cruzlims are living in a fool’s dream world, thinking after Trump loses 1237, the GOPe will push untrusTED for nomination
I’m pretty sure Trump requires bizzaro world for his logic to work. I’ve heard the craziest things from *Some* trump supporters.
So Trump gets a net gain of 1 delegate in Alaska, and Cruz gains 10 delegates in Louisiana - as well as 5 of the 6 convention committee spots for the state. Hmmm, who came out on top of THAT exchange?
Actually, most of us won’t. The delegates will select the frontrunner or elect President Clinton.
That is a risk and a scary one for everyone. If they do that the GOP is dead. I’m pretty sure most Ted’s and Trump’s voters will vote 3rd party, stay home, or even vote democrat down ticket to send a message to the GOP.
But maybe that will be best—kill off the GOP and start a new party.
