"Cruz wins 100% of the vote in the remaining primaries and he still falls short." -- How the Rest of the Delegate Race Could Unfold, 8 posted on 04/06/2016 5:18:17 AM PDT by King of Florida

“[Donald] Trump’s second-place finish to Sen. Ted Cruz (Tex.) in Tuesday’s Wisconsin Republican primary may represent no ordinary setback,” write the Washington Post’s Karen Tumulty, Jose A. DelReal and Robert Costa. “It appears to be a pivot point—although it has yet to be seen whether the trajectory from here points downward or upward.”
~snip~
The last time he faced the prospect of venturing into hostile territory—when his rally in Chicago was overrun by left-wing disruptors—he ended up bugging out. If he fails to secure a majority of delegates, perhaps rather than endure defeat in Cleveland he will find a way to withdraw ungraciously before the convention.

Hmmm, not that is an interesting viewpoint that I had not heard before. Could be possible.
Post 68? What more of the leftist and GOPe's narrative about Trump? Sorry, I don't buy in to anything the left, enemedia, and the GOPe bring.
You have every right to not trust Trump if you so choose but don't tell me the left's narrative about him because I understand most all of it is not true.
FWIW, I see you say most conservatives and Republicans don't trust Trump but you have not one fact to back that up. If you look at how many have already voted for him in the primaries, what you said is not true. Also look at the Daily Caucus here at FR and Cruz's numbers have tanked while Trump's numbers remain fairly steady. So you see, many conservatives, like myself, trust Trump. You are free to not trust him but don't pretend like most don't because the numbers aren't there to support what you say.
Once again, think hard again about who truly is on the corrupt side of things.
CGato
NO!!
You can say that again.
VDkook is about as thin skinned as an onion.
“VDkook is about as thin skinned as an onion. “
That’s adorable.
Cruz fanboy logic:
Stupid article with illogical premise can only be met with agreement or else according to Cruz fans, you = Thin skinned.
So says “eard*ck”. <- See? I can do that too.
Yeh the undisputed leader of the race will drop out after losing a state his campaign never thought he would win. LOL!
The most amazing thing about this thread is that you are defending the WSJ... wow just wow <HL/SJWL
I guess I was too subtle.
Im not sure why he would want to spend so much money fighting for a virtually worthless nomination. If he win’s he still loses hes that far behind Clinton and her lead will get larger.
The only way Trump, and it looks like Cruz wins this election is if someone knocks off Clinton.
By now you should know that crowd size does not translate to votes. Trump will get his 30% to 35%. More in his state probably, and a few close, but time will tell.
I know some that have gone to his rally’s and said they were electrifying, but they would never vote for him.
It’s like not wanting to miss the show, and they would if he wins the nomination.
However, without other candidates in the race to take votes from Cruz, it is going to be real difficult for Trump to win once NY is finished.
Big crowds, but still do not translate to more than 35% of the vote.
Remember, had Rubio voters not voted early, Cruz would have defeated Trump in Arizona, and if Rubio dropped out, Cruz would also have won many other states.
Good luck, and have fun watching the crowds enjoying the sideshow.
Everyone gets a trophy these days.
Enjoy the Bush league victory.
>> it is going to be real difficult for Trump to win once NY is finished.
Do you have a pulse on PA, CT, and NJ? Industry matters. And folks in these regions appreciate Trump’s rhetoric.
We Trump supporters will remain strong and as you can see NY was out for Mr. Trump tonight and were not there for Teddy, in fact his visit to a charter school was canceled, as the students said he did not relate to what they want...
No way will Cruz get this families vote, so let granny Benghazi win...she is going to buy the position any way and her handlers will crush Cruz...
By the way, you sound, err read like a GOP staffer...what ever...I'm personally sick and tired of professional, lying, smooth talking, Lawyers...way, way too many in the Congress...enough pc to last a life time...
We Trump supporters will remain faithful to THE DONALD...
HAVE A GREAT WEEK AHEAD...IT IS ALL MOST OVER...
I live in Pennsylvania...AND THIS STATE IS STRONG FOR TRUMP...
FROM THE CITIES TO THE RURAL FARMS,
WATCH US ROAR...
I’m in the Philly burbs. Very Democrat/RINO area. I’ve heard some blue collar types praising Trump out and about when the primaries were getting started. The young professionals at work mostly despise Trump and think he’s a joke.
The real hardcore Republicans I know seem to be split between Trump and Cruz, but the movement seems to be going for Cruz. Someone just left homemade computer print-outs of a homemade ad for Ted Cruz at every door in my apartment building. Nicely laid out ad but cheaply printed. Never received anything like that before.
Back home in blue collar northeastern PA where hispanic immigration is high, the white people are in total Trump-mania. The anti-immigration mayor in Hazleton is one of the few professional politicians to come out and endorse Trump. Trump will probably do huge in northeastern PA.
The caveat is it doesn’t matter much. The state has less bound delegates than Rhode Island. They’re voted on by name with no declaration of candidate support. From what I hear, establishment politicians tend to win as delegates due to local name recognition.
Correction, Lou Barletta who endorsed Trump is the former mayor but got upgraded to Congressman.
“Trump cannot beat Hillary. Regardless of anyone’s admiration of him, she will beat him and turn us into Venezuela North. Go Ted.”
Except that Trump CAN beat Hillary....but Cruz, after all is said and done, can’t......because.......
Ted is the Canadian born son of a Cuban citizen father.
On the surface he has mixed American/Cuban/Canadian loyalties. The Founders inserted the Natural Born Citizen eligibility requirement into Article II to prevent people with apparently mixed loyalties from being President.
Because the weak kneed Republicans did not stop Obama on this very issue doesn’t mean Hillary and the Democrats won’t. You can be 100% sure they will. They see no hypocrisy in using the law which the Republicans should of, but didn’t invoke. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) has already prepared the Congressional objection. Only 1 Democrat Senator is need to join in to overturn a Cruz election, should that doubtful event ever occur.
Do you think that 1 Democrat Senator can be found?
I think they’ll be drawing straws for the privilege.
What ever else the Democrats are they aren’t afraid to press their agenda.
Yawn.
Coordinate media attacks because they think Cruz has momentum, though no path.
Then NY happened, and it’s March all over again.
Kasich should drop out.
ACLU just filed a lawsuit for violating voting laws.
Shocking I know/s
