Well then you've also got the Sid Vicious version.

In ten days, April 26th, if calculations are correct, it will be mathematically impossible for Cruz to win.
thegatewaypundit.com reports: As we noted on the 2nd, “Even if Cruz wins a third of the delegates in Rhode Island or Connecticut or any of these states, it will not be enough to keep him mathematically in the race.”
Now it looks like Cruz will not only be mathematically eliminated from obtaining enough delegates to win the election outright by April 26th, he may also have fallen to third place in the polls by the end of April, too.
Based on current conservative estimates, come April 26th, Cruz will need 657 delegates to win the election but only 585 will be left leaving him mathematically out of the race.
Trump will only need 279 delegates or less than 50% of the delegates remaining to win the nomination.
And according to our conservative estimates – Trump should gain 1237 delegates by June 7th making him the Republican nominee.

Unfortunately, if he wins...we lose. Hello bernie or klintoon.
You forgot GHWB. That makes three of the worst Presidents in history for Texas, in the space of 37 years. Two of whom attempted assassination in order to become President, one of whom succeeded.
says a hard core leftist
Without Texas there would be negative economic growth in the US
We take in all of your refugees from your failed politics like those trump celebrates in New York
So what does a preference for Kasich say about those states?
It is certainly possible that the GOP will rig the convention against
Trump and Cruz could win the nomination.
It will be a victory like Colorado.
Cruz will lose in the general, he will be blamed and he will be finished.
It will be quite a fall for a once promising career.
I doubt he would even serve out the rest of his senate term.
Trump will either get the 1237 or enter the convention with redundant backups for any minor shortfall.
In the highly unlikely event the GOP prefers to destroy themselves and hand the nomination to Lyin’Ted®, President Hillary is an absolute certainty.
That’s why Donald is doing so well in Wyoming.

And Cruz can go into the General Election with his precious traitor delegates as his only voters.
Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” makes me think of Ted Cruz.
You forgot about the ‘Bandwagon’ effect that will start when Trump reaches 1100 delegates.
Fort Worth is the only Republican of the seven largest cities in TX. Many of the middle-sized cities like San Angelo are Republican. People in Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, and El Paso strong believe in “democracy”.
Me a leftist? I doubt you will ever encounter a more right wing person than I.
>Without Texas there would be negative economic growth in the US
You are quite correct but even a lot of Texas recent wealth came from the federal reserve creating an oil investment bubble that's now popping. The US economy has been crap since GWB and then Obama papered over the fiscal crisis from 2008.
That’s by far the dumbest post I’ve read all week.
Well then you've also got the Sid Vicious version.
Anybody doesnt have the delegates Trump does.
The Trump card?
Isn't that the outfit that tried to predict that Romney was "really" ahead in all the polls back in 2012? How'd that turn out?
1 Thessalonians 5:22, King James Version (KJV)
Abstain from all appearance of evil.
It's the APPEARANCE of wrongdoing that has done Ted in.
Perception is reality.
He's so brilliant has these brilliant staffers and didn't recognize what people who do real work and produce real things learned long ago.
No matter what, Trump gets blamed. To this day, it is Perot's fault that GHWB didn't get traction. The party NEVER owns its mistakes.
For one thing, Perot ran as an independent candidate, not a GOP
candidate.
For another, there would not have been a Perot had Bush not ignored
the grassroots or broke his promise, “read my lips, no new taxes” but
passed new taxes.
If Trump is leading by a good margin of delegates at the convention
and gets screwed, the nominee will be ill-legitimate in the eyes of
American voters.
