Based on current delegate counts and poll numbers Ted Cruz will be mathematically unable to reach the delegate count required for him to win the Republican Presidential nomination.
By the end April it will be clear that Ted Cruz has no chance of reaching the 1,237 delegates needed to win the nomination.
Actually in only 3 weeks, on April 26th, it will be clear that Ted Cruz cannot win.
(chart from Google)
Currently Cruz has only 463 delegates. Even if Cruz wins Wisconsin, which is a state whose delegates are winner take most (WTM), he still will not have enough delegates to win the election by April 26th.
This is in part because New York is leaning heavily towards Trump who leads according to polls listed at Real Clear Politics by as much as 36%. New York has a Republican primary where the delegates are split proportionally. So even if Cruz wins a third of the delegates, it won’t be enough. This is because come April 26th, there are five Republican Presidential primaries and three of these are winner take all (WTA). All three of these states are in the East where polls show Trump leading (Maryland and Pennsylvania) or there is no polling available with the state highly likely leaning towards Trump (Delaware). Even if Cruz wins a third of the delegates in Rhode Island or Connecticut or any of these states, it will not be enough to keep him mathematically in the race.

Cruz tax plan — the VAT.
My favorite tax is the ‘national sales tax’ [’fair tax’], but a VAT is multi-layered, right? At every level of sales?

‘Moreover, their proposed VATs would be largely invisible to the public because they would not be listed on customer receipts or pay stubs ...’
Right. A tax must be as visible as possible. Hidden taxes are the worst.
we all know that cruz won’t get the numbers needed and it was over for him after FL. Yet he is still there , because he has become a establishment hack and those voting for him now are helping the GOP to get their contested convention, thus they are now party hacks pretending or denying they are.
Trump fails to reach this level of ‘rapist’ wit ...

Question: would Cruz be willing to waterboard rats?
Keep in mind that Raphael Edward Cruz has SEALED HIS BIRTH/CITIZENSHIP RECORDS. To me, that means he is hiding something he doesn’t want us to know. Maybe it goes to his eligibility. Why doesn’t Trump raise this point?.
That plus his pro-amnesty, open boarders, handing out goodie bags at the boarder, Beck endorsement, etc kills my interest in him.
And doesn’t CFR wife Heidi promote removing Southern and Northern boarders to for a North American Community or whatever she calls it?
Cruz also pushed for Roberts to be Chief Justice.
so you admit that cruz can’t do it and is only there to stop Trump so the establishment can have their contested convention.
Well, well well, at least you are honest that you who votes for cruz are just helping the establishment, thus cruz is the establishment spoiler.
voting for cruz is a vote for the establishment.
VAT taxes are by design for multinational trade agreements... like the European Union... Cruz’s VAT tax proposal is his globalist notion of a North American Union. Canada, his country of birth, the USA and Central America... Cuba included, birthplace of his priest daddy. VAT tax is Cruz’s notion of tithing. Layers and layers of dollars collected with no ability to track...
First of all, it isn’t doable. The GOP will not let Cruz win on a second ballot.
And even if he did, what would the point be? Do you think the second place loser is going to pull all the support of the leader by playing politics and dirty tricks? Cruz will go down in history as losing in the biggest landslide ever as Trump supporters walk, and with good reason.
Cruz apologists are insane.
Completely divorced from reality or obvious establishment tools? Those are the only two options for Teddy and the Cruzers.
That is a compelling argument!
Do you have any handy links?
I’ll go on google myself.
The VAT in Ted Cruz’s Tax Plan is a Threat to Limited Government and the Economy

that is what all the lazy people on FR and the MSM are ignorant of ... look at the remaining states, get a calculator and do the math ... cruz cannot get to 1237, trump can get to 1300+ easily
operable two words: EVEN IF
makes this meaningless conjecture at this time.
If that actually happens, and I don’t think it will, then he will be testing us like every other politician.... Including Ted Cruz.
More tariffs, less income taxes.
I don’t know if Enlightened1 is jittery or not, but I am because I think the nomination will be given to a Romney or Ryan who have done nothing to earn it. The GOPe would rather have Cankles and keep the good times rolling in DC.
Ryan proved with the budget how much he cares about us. They will live in their gated communities and not be affected by the mess the rest of us suffer until one day there are no tax dollars left to steal.
Balancing budgets is NOT Cruz's priority. Cruz's is an empty slate when it comes to budgets and tax policy.. But his co-running mate Heidi is the plotter of global economics. These donor bought politicians could care less about balancing budgets.. This is their 'new world order', and they intend to use human beings as commodities, while stripping US of our US citizenship.
If they do it, then say bye bye to the Republican Party as we know it.
I would predict massive losses for the Republicans if they go against the Void the Votes in order to STEAL, HIJACK and Select the Candidate.
