Trump talks about making America great again. He talks about what he can do for us.
Cruz talks about stopping Donald Trump. He really never says much about how he would be good for us.
they got their phone call from Soros and they’re doing what they were ordered to do.
I predict campaign defections from Cruz’s staff. Maybe Kasich, but does kasich even have a staff?
They said if it's anyone but Trump they will vote for hildabutchbitch, which none could explain but I didn't press it too hard.
I do know that where I live, there are a ton of demonRATs waiting to vote for Trump, no demonRATs I've talked to would even consider Cruz.
Cruzers will claim that it proves that Cruz is more conservative that Trump, and while I agree, it also proves that Trump is the only one that can beat kankles, PIAPS, butchbitch, the MURDERER OF STEVENS. It's going to be Trump in a landslide in PA tomorrow.
I know that coordination between PACs and candidate are illegal; but collusion between candidates. How is that not illegal?
How any Cruz supporter possibly justify this is beyond me. This is politics at its worst. The people who say this is smart politics miss the point. WE DON’T WANT POLITICIANS WHO ONLY CARE ABOUT THEMSELVES.
Lying Ted Cruz has just demonstrated he is unfit to be a candidate for Presudent. He is allying himself with an establishment tool and a fool who welcomes illegal aliens, supports Common Core and follows the establishment agenda, in an attempt to circumvent the will of the majority of Republican voters.
There is no way I will ever vote for lying Ted Cruz.
Cruz and Kasich are Rino turds that need to be flushed.
Method one would be to award all delegates proportionately, based on the results in primaries. Had this been the consistent rule this year, Trump would lose a significant fraction of his current delegates, as his totals are inflated by his big haul in several winner-take-all states. This, of course, is what leaves him vulnerable if the convention goes to a second ballot. Trump's delegate lead overstates his actual support in the party. Method one would make everything proportional and eliminate this problem. But it would maximize the chance of long, bitter primaries and contested conventions.
Method two would be a universal winner take all system. Winner take all produces a quick winner. But this would maximize the chance of victory for a factional candidate in a divided field, which is of course Trump's formula this year. The downside is that a determined and united faction could nominate a candidate objectionable to the majority, if the majority doesn't coalesce in time.
Method three would be to move to a runoff system in which, if no one gets a majority, the top two go head to head. There are other variations that could be used if one were prepared to have more than one runoff round (e.g. drop the low man, or everyone below a threshold) if we were prepared for multi-round voting, which is practical in a convention or caucus but not a primary. In a runoff system, conventional wisdom is probably correct that Trump would have been trounced head to head by several (and perhaps most) of the other candidates in the field. Trump has a determined faction that has confounded early expectations by staying united in the face of innumerable statements and actions that should have been disqualifying. But he has not had majorities in most states, and he is not most people's second choice.
What we have now is a messy mixture of methods one and two. Four years from now, Trump will probably be gone, one way or the other. Based on this year's ugly process, I'd be interested in knowing what process people would favor.
They are exploiting a huge loophole in the system. It is illegal to buy votes, even to pay a $1 for a soda. Yet, it’s legal to buy delegates and collude to subvert the will of the people.

I actually used to like Cruz. No more. Partnering with Kasich (who must actually be a Democrat) is a red-line for me.
“Never voter” seems an appropriate name for this Cruz/Kasich stunt.
Cruz and Kasich have turned into pathetic losers. Both have destroyed their political careers. There is no honor among thieves, and you can see that in both of them.
They both wasted millions of dollars in their desperation.
Who would vote either of them in the future?
Yet men like Carson and Christie know how to deal, and they are honorable in appearance.Watch history unfold in the next few months with Trump and a beginning parallel slate of very good Republican men and women for the November election.
Trump will campaign for everybody in the fall. Cruz and Kasich would insure the Republican slates loss in November across the country.
Trump’s platform: Make America Great Again
Cruz’s platform: Stop Trump
John Kasich: "I should be President! I've won one state! Did you hear me? I've won ONE state!"
The present “Leadership” of the RINO party must be extirpated root and branch IF the Republic is to survive.
NOT kidding—not in the least.
PPP: Trump Headed For Big Wins in CT/PA/RI (Trump over 50 in all)
Ted Cruz supporters keep saying he would beat Hillary. This shows how badly he would lose PA and because of the North East #s he would get smoked in Florida and North Carolina.
IMHO, the Republican party is a shell of an organization as we knew it say, 4 years ago.
Those pushing Trump are ushering in radical change.
Those at the top of the GOP are finished as they grasp for air on their way down. They are pumping in millions of Dollars to “save” the party while the very same ones are asphyxiating the party.
No, it's all over and the end is near.
If they stop Trump. by any means, it means that Hilliary will be the Commander & Chief and that means that Putin and the rest of the Axis of Evil will be breaking out the Champagne while America and her allies descend into the some kind of Rome burning mentality...CHAOS if Hilliary is elected, absolute chaos...
