I agree with the author. Trump talks big, but underperforms in many campaign processes.

Yeah, Trump has trouble against the corrupt, entrenched GOPe crooks who have greased the skids for their designated insider, Jeb Bush. Since Ted Cruz is now their designated insider, he is the beneficiary of their "greased skids" scam that was specifically designed to thwart "outsider" efforts.

This delegate theft has nothing to do with Ted Cruz's ground game. Even Rush Limbaugh admitted it a few days ago. It's all about being the GOPe darling, and benefitting directly from the goodwill of the party insiders.

And to the People, it looks like what it is: crooked.

What other reason could there be for Ted Cruz tanking in the polls?

Why is "surging" Ted Cruz running a distant third place, behind even John Kasich, throughout the Northeast?

It must be because of all the "savvy" Cruz is showing!

I hope he keeps playing this petty game, because the more he does, the more he looks exactly like a part of the Establishment he was supposed to be against.

Image is everything, and Cruz's image is suffering because of these shenanigans.

Tuesday night,m and the Tuesday after that, are going to be sweet!

Ted Cruz has lost. He will have been mathematically eliminated after the next Tuesday or two. His only hope was to get the nomination at a contested GOP convention, which would irreparably splinter the party, and guarantee a GOP defeat in November.

Simply put, that's not going to happen. Not even the crooked GOPe is that stupid.

Vote Trump

The GOP is perfectly fine losing in November, hence their "Lose With Cruz" strategy. If they maintain their down ticket offices, they keep their party power and place at the political trough.

The GOP is cool with a President Hitlery so that they can play their "opposition party" song and dance and tell voters how they need to keep Congress to "stop Hillary".

Yeah, just like how they've "stopped" Obama.

You're surprised the only conservative running isn't doing in the northeast liberal stronghold of NY.?

I think Trump has pretty much done that already; his personal attacks of candidates, his whining about the selection process (even though the process was known to all candidates), his boorish, crude behavior, his lack of substance on issues has given the Rats all the ammo they need to beat whoever is the Pub nominee.
