Good points. Let us hope that others will take heed.
Oh Lordy, I hope you are right.
Because NY is the bellweather of the modern GOP?
Is this for real, I saw a change and thought cruz is thinking I am not going to win, so who cares anymore....
Town Hall = Establishment = Cruz = Establishment
Sorry but all of that is now totally forgotten. Thats all it was - a Heidi moment.
So, that's what passes for political discourse this election season.
“Cruz is sharp, expert at the delegate process, but there is something more”......
Yep, the sharpest bull shitter on the block.
I still remember the Heidi game in NY when the Jets lost to the Raiders after the game was switched to the movie Heidi before the game was over. Still brings back bad memories.
Oooooh! A "working mother"!!!
And not only that, "a professional"!
BFD.
In Wisconsin, Every candidate Bernie, Hillary, Cruz, Kasich had negative or stop Trump ads. The super pacs were 24/7. All talk radio was #nevertrump. Cruz had the rino blessing of Ryan, Walker, Johnson. I have never seen an election where one candidate had everything but the kitchen sink thrown at him. I cant imagine any other candidate being able to withstand this constant barrage. It was relentless. There were the usual rumors of voter fraud in Waukesha County. Yet, Trump still got 35% of the vote and Cruz couldn’t break 50%. And Trump won Ryan’s hometown of Janesville Wi (Rock County).
I thought I was reading fiction and this was the introduction.
“Cruz is sharp, expert at the delegate process, but there is something more”......
Yep, the sharpest bull shitter on the block.
Please quit stepping on Trumps toes.
Your comment is vile. Wash your mouth out with soap! I am so very tired of the crass remarks. Can we please stick to the issues instead of all the infantile, brainless name calling? I don’t care who you are for or against, this is not the way to make America great again!!!!!
Goldman Sachs employs 37,000 people. Would you call all of them what you called Heidi Cruz?
Some of their people work with subprime mortgages, and a significant amount of their work in that area was sleazy or worse. I have seen no indications that Heidi Cruz worked in that area. Considering that her work was primarily managing investments for people with over $40M in assets, I very much doubt that she was ever involved in the parts of Goldman Sachs that generated their bad press.
Other Goldman Sachs professionals do asset management, mergers and acquisitions, and even government securities. I have no doubt that some of those employees are of questionable character and that others are admirable people. One of my close friends worked there for a decade and loved it - then retired to raise kids and fish in Alaska. I have seen no evidence that Heidi Cruz was involved in anything that justifies your attack on her.
Finally, I have seen no evidence that attacking the wife of someone 30% of republican voters admire will make those voters more likely to vote for Trump in November, if Trump gets the nomination that he is likely to win. Whatever your issues with the candidate’s wife’s former employer, do those issues really justify alienating so many conservatives and increasing the odds that Hillary will win the election in November?
The response by Trump supporters to articles like this are a major indicator to me that, win or lose, I am right in withholding my support from the Trump crowd.
No, but if NY has about twice as many delegates as WI, and if Trump performs close to what current polling is projecting, he’ll capture over 50% of the vote and will capture significantly more delegates than what Cruz won in WI. A big NY win for Trump also mathematically eliminates Cruz from obtaining 1,237 1st ballot delegates.
Also, Cruz is projected to finish 3rd in NY - a big downward break from any positive momentum out of WI.
NY also will allow comparisons between the three remaining candidates with regard to how they perform in their home states. Trump is projected to be the only candidate that won his home state with more than 50% of the vote.
“What does “The Heidi moment” mean?”
The Heidi moment sweet as it may have been does nothing to add delegates to Ted Cruz’s presidential easter basket.
The hard truth is that Ted Cruz has yet to attract more than 25% of the GOP voters. He has no path to the GOP nomination as of April 26th and the calls for him to exit will commence shortly after that date.
In the coming week or two Ted Cruz is going to experience a humiliating drubbing in the NE primaries. It signals the end of his campaign. If Jeb or Marco had the delegate count Trump has the party would already have forced Cruz and Kasich out of the race.
Cruz won’t do well in the east. He won’t do well in the west. He got beat badly in the south (where he was supposed to dominate). He could do no better than 44% in his home state where he’s supposedly popular. He won a few states in the Midwest, some territories, a Mormon stronghold with the help of the last failed candidate, and Maine...the majority caucuses, not primaries. He is losing by two hundred plus delegates and could conceivably be shut out in the final 10 contests. He will have no mathematical path in the next two weeks. Only in this election cycle can someone be losing as bad as Ted Cruz and have someone write about the “launch” nobody remembers.
Aren’t they exhausted from all the Trump Bashing over at Townhall? I mean, they never even stop to catch a breath.
