Gee, a trained Harvard lawyer who is good at debates-what a shock!

He should have put that effort into winning actual votes.

Wrong, and you repeating it over and over again. doesn't make it true.

There aren't enough delegates left for Cruz to win realistically.

Unless you think that Cruz is now going to win every delegate left?

That is how the primary system is set up, what you Cruz people like to refer to as the 'rules'.

I would prefer all States to vote on the same day.

The pressure is going to be huge next week for him to drop out.

Nah, I was thinking about the one where Ted Cruz insulted the entire state of NY and still had to clap like a trained seal when Trump beat him down.

Do you think Cruz is up for a repeat performance?

I had forgotten about him clapping after that slap down. That was very strange wan’t it?

We just can’t get rid of him.

Georgia Girl 2,

If things follow their natural course he should run out of road and sink himself soon.

Much like a TV show that has run its gamut.. NO ONE watches or tunes in anymore because it's the same old boring $hit.

That sure sounds like Ted Cruz.

Yes Cruz is irritating but going forward for the next 5 or so primaries he is going to be practically non existent. I think the guy is really out of gas but just won’t give it up. He is a self destructive personality.

Oh, the audience for a Trump/Cruz debate would be huge.

But Trump will never do it.

He doesn’t have the chops.

He was clapping for the one good point Trump ever made in a debate.

He has nothing to gain and EVERYTHING to lose.

You said it here.

Why debate someone you have already defeated? This is not “old school politics”, it is desperation politics to keep his (cruz) name alive in the media. The debates are done. People are flocking to where they want to be and its just a matter of time now.

Cruz will drop out if Trump gets the votes he needs for a win on the first ballot.

I doubt seriously that a lot of whiners on Free Republic will change his mind about that, but you can try if it makes you feel good.

There are not enough delegates for Cruz to win on the First Ballot. If no one has 1237 on the first ballot, there will be a second ballot. Cruz already has enough second ballot delegates. That is why the key for Cruz is to not let Trump get to 1237.

Cruz is even today looking so desperate people are shying away from him. Wait a few more days. He’s done.

Don’t know what you have seen. Cruz delivered a great speech last night. He is looking great.

So, you admit that Cruz cannot win on the first ballot and is only still running for a convention fight!

That is just EVIL.

Nobody watched Cruz’s speech. Everybody was watching Donald Trump. Speeches mean nothing if people are not voting for you. The poor schlemiel had 22 people at a Philly rally. That’s worse than Jeb. Its pathetic.

The Trump Train is coming and Ted is tied to the tracks.

Evil? The goal is to win, not play by your opponent’s playbook . There were 17 candidates and Trump has 37% of the vote. Not exactly a mandate. When Trump gets 1237, Cruz drops out.

Put down the crack pipe clown.

Everyone from "low energy" Jeb to "Lyin' Ted" has faded in face of Trump's challeneges.

Trump agreeing to a debate with Cruz would be akin to Mike Dyson granting a bout to Peewee Herman.

We already KNOW the outcome.. however crack pipe users like you somehow think Peewee would prevail.

Nice try.. but I believe you're trying to sell another "nothing burger."
