Cruz is a RINO and will destroy America as President. He has not proved anything substantial and never will.

Trump for President.

America has already had one delusional
pretender who supported ObamaTRADE and open borders.

I support Cruz. If he can win the delegate race and go to the convention ahead of Trump, I will continue to support him.

But if Trump is within, say 50 delegates and Cruz is 300 behind that, and then somehow the GOPe comes together to try and take the nomination from Trump through procedural, politicking and deal making...I will not support that in the least.

Right, let’s go with Mr. “I identify more as a Democrat” Trump instead of 97% conservative rating Cruz.

So “logical” for a conservative to think that way.

One is comprised of anti-establishment ideological conservatives who back Cruz, another is made up of anti-establishment populists who support Trump and the other is filled with establishment Republicans who are hoping they can somehow nominate Ohio Gov. John Kasich or some other candidate who seems safer in a general election.

No argument with the Cruz ideological conservatives nor the Establishment Republicans for Kasich, but I object to the categorization of Trump supporters being solely anti-establishment populists. There are such things as historical conservatives who have taken a blood oath never to hold their nose for anyone who IS establishment, a closet Democrat, or even a conservative who has ultimately chosen to "dance with the Establishment Devil."

No fear about Cruz being too polarizing, he’s a chameleon, turns into whatever he thinks he needs to be to win.

Cruz lost the south. Cruz is losing the northeast except Maine. Cruz lost Midwest except Wisconsin. Cruz won Iowa barely and his ethanol won’t work in a general in Iowa. Cruz won Utah. Not a great result overall at all. He’d be the weakest nominee in history.

Cruz lost the South because there were a zillion candidates. In every state poll Trump vs Cruz, Cruz won. Cruz will be the next president, and he will be the greatest since Reagan.

Cruz lost the south.

And that's the crux of it right there. I remember the strategy of a year ago being his absolute certainty he'd win the "Solid South" and then take other contested areas from there.

That’s just pathetic. Cruz would not have beaten Trump in Georgia (my state) even if they were the only two on the ballot.
