Will Trump Drop Out?
Wall Street Journal ^ | 04/06/2016 | James Taranto

Posted on 04/06/2016 11:02:36 AM PDT by Responsibility2nd

“[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.

Karen Tumulty? Please.

The Uniparty thinks that its Wisconsin Unipatsy ploy is going to work.

Nice try. :)

Dude, this story is so retarded that to even post it shows a level of absurd stupidity that I didn’t even think the Cruz Cucks Clan on FR could display.

So why didn’t Cruz “drop out” after losing the ENTIRE SOUTH. Coming in third in Florida, Virginia, Ohio, and losing Michigan, AND Illinois.

Wishful thinking by the anti-Trump crowd. No way he’s dropping out before the convention.

I’m a Cruz guy, but this is silly. Trump is about to win handily in NY (where the only q is whether he will get over 50%) and PA and currently leads Cruz in CA. Why would he drop out NOW?

This is as much a nothingburger as those Enquirer stories on Cruz that boiled down to “a lot of investigators are investigating him!” As if that isn’t true of all the major candidates.

This is an interesting idea - that Trump will drop out if it becomes apparent he won’t get to 1237 before Cleveland.

But it’s quite pre-mature for that now.

Next up is New York and the other Eastern liberal states where he should do very well.

If he does unexpectedly poorly in New York or these states, then maybe.

Yes.

He will drop out, run third-party, and dispatch your party to the ash heap of history.

I’m a Cruz supporter, but playing fantasy games doesn’t help anything, except that the Establishment’s wishin’ and hopin’ encourages dithering on their part.

Cruz and Trump should both work towards the convention, getting as many delegates they need to lock out the bad guys . (I know that some Trumpers think that Cruz is a bad guy too, so for them I mean the OTHER bad guys).

Forget the poster. What about the Wall Street Journal, who actually read it over.... THEN PUBLISHED IT.
