Trump probably will make the number, but if he cannot make the 1237, in his case, it’s going to be hard to overcome the rino convention.
.
Ted Cruz’ deeds are what the people of Wisconsin were looking at yesterday, not Trump’s twisting of his deeds.
Sad about your blurred vision, but it is correctable.
.
So, you think that a mother who arranges to have her kids killed is innocent?
That’s just not rational, e-s.
I’ve already been on the Cruz bandwagon.
Honestly, I don’t want to be part of electing our first foreign born president unless it’s my last choice.

This, I think, is what the American people are finally waking up to.
.
Cruz is not conservative. He is a globalist.
BTW: Trump will win NY. But not as big as is projected. But regardless he won’t hit 1237 now. Even being extra generous there is no way he hits 1237.
Trump has two paths to the nomination now. Both rely on his awesome and magical negotiating abilities. The same ones he will use to get Mexico to pay for the wall and China to change its trade policies.
1) Get close to 1237 then convince a couple handfuls of unbound delegates to vote for him. His awesome negotiating powers will be needed to pull this off, but rest assured he is the best negotiator in the world so he can easily do this.
2) Most likely scenario. Trump really wants to show his negotiating power so he will purposefully lose the first round of voting just to demonstrate that he can convince the delegates that really don’t like him to vote for him. He will do this so that it will unite the party behind him. Seriously if he pulls this off I got to admit that I’d be very impressed and would probably even donate some cash to him to win in November. Everyone will be awestruck that he was able to get the die hard #nevertrump folks to actually vote for him at a contested convention. That is the win he’s going for. He only lost WI because he wanted to. Trump is going to one-up Chuck Norris and do the really impossible and win at a contested convention!
Cruz voted for TPA in the (reasonable) expectation that a Republican president would be elected, and the President needs TPA to be able to negotiate trade deals. That's all that is. It's NOT the same as TPP. Cruz opposes TPP. That's just a fact, a matter of simple record.
Lumping the two issues is quite factually disingenuous to say the least. And his wife isn't running for president (and don't give me that lame quote from her where she said "we are running..." It's the same use of the plural that Trump and all the other candidates use when describing their campaigns)
In Utah Glen Beck called Cruz the fulfillment of prophecy. Cruz allowed himself to be called the fulfillment of prophecy - and he reveled in it. Cruz claims to be a reverent person yet he does this wickedly blasphemous act.
Who cares what Stabby McNutter says? The only thing I'm willing to concede here is that yes, Cruz should distance himself from that wackjob.
Monday, March 28, Cruz humiliated his wife by refusing to testify to his fidelity choosing instead to rant and blame Trump, but only after first allowing a surrogate to deflect the question. This is despicable and cowardly. A week later Mr. Sincerity said he has always been faithful. Nothing says “I love you” like humiliating your wife in front of all the world.
This is just factually wrong; he called the NE piece "completely false" on March 25. See here.
How much more of a denial could one issue? Don't you think that if one says a claim of infidelity is "completely false" one is already also "testifying to his fidelity", by clear implication? Let's get real here, just because he didn't use the exact words "I never cheated on my wife" is nit-picking, again at best! (At worst it's just being unreasonably demanding)
Cruz attempted to connect Trump with Beligian jihadies. How? Trump had recently made comments regarding NATO, and since NATO is quartered in Belgium, well there you go.
Cruz wasn't "connecting Trump to Belgian jihadis" he was saying that since Trump has signaled he doesn't really care for NATO, that it was "rather ironic" that the country where NATO was headquartered was attacked a day later. But I'll give you that it wasn't very timely and/or appropriate for him to be saying that at that time. That was a mistake on Cruz's part. I wonder though if you are as willing to admit mistakes on Trump's part.
Cruz claims he didn’t know he was Canadian until he saw it in the paper. Cruz said he would “let others worry about the silly stuff” - which is a complete lack of due diligence
That's a dead issue for everyone in the real world. Only to people who live on the Internet and fancy themselves Constitutional scholars is it still relevant. A court in PA ruled he was/is eligible because they ruled he was a "natural born citizen". That ruling set the precedent and will be such a precedent for any future cases brought, and summarily dismissed. I'm sorry if I don't take the word of people on the Internet as to how the real world works.
He was raised in America since an early age. This is the only country he's known. I completely believe him when he said he didn't realize he had Canadian citizenship until a few years ago. It's entirely believable since he's been here since like age two and has had no reason to believe he's anything but an American.
My only interest in the story is hoping that there's a connection with Amanda Carpenter. I want that vile horrid creature to be professionally discredited and personally destroyed.
Yet you support asking Cruz to drop once he can’t make the number on the first ballot. Ted shouldn’t and wouldn’t, and why should he?
.
Ted Cruz had no choice in his place of birth, nevertheless he was born a US citizen, and one of our very best defenders of freedom, and the strength of America.
Hatred of Yeshua’s true assembly is what drives all opposition to Ted Cruz.
You can’t miss that fact on any of these threads.
.
Whatchu talking about willis?
Not true, but the bigger point is WI. is winnable in the general election. NY is not winnable in the general.
Not nearly as stunning as Ted losing the entire south.
.
The word is hypocrisy.
.
>>what is this stunning blow?<<
I believe they are eluding to the slowing of Trumps momentum toward 1237 and thereby ensuring a contested convention.
Honestly, I see nothing reasonable about that expectation.
....Yet the northeast will fall in line for Trump in a few weeks.
I’m just “stuned in the beeber” area.
There was another President born in Canada. He lied about it though. But still Cruz wouldn’t be the first. So you can now freely vote for him in good faith.
