At the last second Cruz has. The last second. Cruz is doing this for himself for his future run in 2018. That's it.

Well, OH was a “hillary” state. If he even gets 2% more he wins OH (and he already has).
Of course it’s true, but this wasn’t the place to include it.
This from the guy whose byline on FR used to be;
“If America falls, darkness will cover the face of the earth for a thousand years”.
Either way, we both agree that he will win and that our long national nightmare with the Clintons may finally be over.
If Trump wins there will be spontaneous celebrations everywhere across the nation.
If Hillary wins it’ll be dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria and human sacrifice.
Totally.
After months and months of the media telling us that Trump is in the dumpster, how can you possibly expect them to say he won?
It would show them as two faced as many of us know they are.
Hard to believe we are just hours away from knowing the outcome. I lean towards your way of seeing things. For the first time in our lifetimes, we have a real choice for president. One who is not a career politician. We've been waiting for such a choice for decades. Let's not blow it!
One correction, Trump is not just “one small state” away from winning based on your counts. He is two small states or one big state away from winning.
When you give him NC, FL, OH and IA, he still needs 10 EVs to get to 269. So the three smallest states in play would not be enough on their own.
NH - 4 EV
NV - 6 EV
CO - 9 EV
MN - 10 EV
WI - 10 EV
VA - 13 EV
MI - 16 EV
PA - 20 EV
And he can top off a 269 tie with ME CD2’s 1 EV. Or use CO and ME CD2 to get a tie.
Unfortunately, with NV and CO looking so weak in early voting, we’re left aiming for one of a handful of Hail Mary passes, wins that defy lots of polling or defy decades of presidential results. This is a bad position to be in. NV and CO were key to Trump’s map. And as I said at the time she picked Kaine, that may have been the smartest move Hillary ever made. Peeling VA off of the GOP map put the GOP candidate in a terrible electoral position right off the bat.
I haven’t seen any evidence whatsoever of real crossover voting of Dems. Crossover voting always happens in small numbers and seems like we’re seeing the same here on both sides. Anecdotal reports of seeing “blue collar Democrats” at a rally is meaningless.
bkmk
Cruz is supporting Trump and has attended rallies with Pence.
“I haven’t seen any evidence whatsoever of real crossover voting of Dems.”
So, look harder.
“I haven’t seen any evidence whatsoever of real crossover voting of Dems. “
I haven’t seen evidence that they are not.
At the last second Cruz has. The last second. Cruz is doing this for himself for his future run in 2018. That's it.

On Colorado, REPs have been gaining nearly 1% a day and are basically tied with DEMs. DEMs were up 10%, two weeks ago. On Monday, we get new CO numbers. That should be for Friday and Saturdays ballots. On Tuesday we get Mondays numbers.
So by election day, Tuesday, we will have 3 more days of CO ballots. At 1% a day, REPs could be leading by 3%, but at least by 2%.
I wouldn’t give up on CO. Right now, I’m looking at Trump 293 EV. All the safe states plus IA, OH, NC, FL, PA, NH, CO and ME District 2.

Yes. Very good video. Emotional and inspiring.
I will pass it on.
I just saw the greatest ad ever, from some PAC. Hillary with various tools and power tools destroying phones and computers. Anyone else see this?
