The message seems to be self-destructing.

Yes, what you’ve been peddling here has self-destructed.

Glad we can agree on something.

To be quite honest, I'm not willing to take the chance that Cruz will be able to do any of those things I listed. I doubt he has the capacity to accomplish any of them, not even one.

I don't want a candidate who has only demonstrated the ability to talk.

When Cruz is mathematically eliminated in two weeks will that be a stunning blow as well?

No more so than it will be for Trump when he is mathematically eliminated the first week of June.

I don’t think Trump deep down and subconsciously really wants to be president. People are wired differently, I think he just loves the attention and competition.

“I don't want a candidate who has only demonstrated the ability to talk.”

I have to agree with you there.

Cruz has fought and won some significant battles for conservatives.

Let's start with the case of District of Columbia v. Heller. Cruz drafted the amicus brief signed by the attorneys general of 31 states, which said that the Washington, D.C. handgun ban should be struck down as infringing upon the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

The Supreme Court struck down the D.C. ban and ruled the right to keep and bear arms is an individual right. A major win for gun owners and all Americans.

Do you know where the other Republican candidates for president were during the legal battle? I don't.

So Cruz is a hard worker and campaigner. That’s a plus for me. Not sure what Trump was doing besides whining.

Honestly, I think Trump’s entire campaign is “The Battle of the Bulge” in a desperate attempt to put this nation back on course.

Is this the same Trump that helped put it off course by voting for Obama?

And what circumstances did his mother not meet?

Strongly suggest you review USC 1401 and following.

Secondly, since there is no real question of Cruz’s NBC status, please ask yourself, do you really want to elect a man who hangs his hat on that?

You are entirely correct, and since you agree that Congress has the authority to declare who is a natural born citizen, then suggest you review how Congress did exactly that in USC 1401, and how Mr. Cruz meets every requirement of that law.

Please, this is settled.

Is this a matter Trump supporters are proud of?

You are projecting. Isn’t it possible that what motivates you is not what motivates him?

“I don’t think Trump deep down and subconsciously really wants to be president. People are wired differently, I think he just loves the attention and competition.”

I agree. Someone in the MSM was saying the same....that he never thought he’d get this far, but now that he has, he has to follow through. I wouldn’t be surprised if he drops out rather than be defeated before July. With his inflated ego, he would save face that way.

Let’s just see how much of a blow it is after New York and a couple of more states.

Trump might have the same reaction as Richard Pryor as Montgomery Brewster in “Brewster’s millions” when he found out that he accidentally made money. His goal was to lose money.

Ancient Chinese proverb… “Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.”

These clowns really think they’ve arrived now that Ted needs 95% of the remaining delegates.

This happens every primary season. As a candidate's chances of being nominated dwindle their rational supporters throw in the towel. Those that remain aren't into the whole math and reality thing.

The only way the Cruz die hards are right is if he's got a secret army of supporters who happen to be delegates. But that crazy argument could be made by anyone's fans. Maybe everyone is a Romney supporter? Maybe Hulk Hogan has a posse? Who knows!
