That was a 6-way race. Now we’re down to 2 and a half.

“That was a 6-way race. Now we’re down to 2 and a half.”

So now you’re using Trump’s excuse.

... That was a 6-way race. Now we’re down to 2 and a half.

Curious how DT cancelled events for CA and CO to stay and campaign in NY.

That was a 6-way race. Now we’re down to 2 and a half.

The half being Cruz in the upcoming northeastern primaries.

If Cruz can't even manage to finish second in three-man race in the majority of the upcoming states this month, why on earth is he anything but a GOPe hack trying to force a contested convention?

Cruz should have still gotten over 50% in his own State!

[Texas] That was a 6-way race. Now we’re down to [3]

I only count 5: Cruz, Trump, Rubio, Carson and Kasich, and Carson and Kasich were both non-factors below 5%. So basically it was a 3-man race like now.

So that's your excuse for Ted Cruz not even getting 45% in Texas? LOL.

For Jeff Roe to say what he said is the height of hypocrisy.

But I'm still reeling from your flip-flop on the Natural Born Citizen issue with respect to Ted Cruz. Your historical tagline demonstrates that, at one point, you didn't even think that Ted Cruz was eligible to be President:

2ndDivisionVet (Don't care if he was born in a manger on July 4th! A "Natural Born" citizen requires two US parents!)

I guess you were focused on 0bama then. Obviously you've "evolved" on that issue. Fortunately for you and Ted Cruz, I think the Courts also disagree with your prior opinion.

But it provides perspective nonetheless.

It was also a 6-way race against McCain, Keyes, Forbes, Bauer and Hatch when George W. Bush won 87% of the vote in the 2000 Texas Republican Primary.

That was a 6-way race.

Actually, it was a 13-way race.

The 2016 Texas Republican Primary ballot listed thirteen candidates:

Jeb Bush
Ben Carson
Chris Christie
Ted Cruz
Carly Fiorina
Lindsey Graham
Elizabeth Gray
Mike Huckabee
John R. Kasich
Rand Paul
Marco Rubio
Rick Santorum
Donald J. Trump

Every candidate on the ballot received more than 5,000 votes, except for Christie, Fiorina and Santorum, who each got more than 2,000 votes, and Graham who got just under 2,000 votes. Five candidates (Carson, Cruz, Kasich, Rubio and Trump) received more than 100,000 votes each. Cruz won 44% of the vote, Trump came in a distant second with under 27% of the vote, and the other 11 candidates split the remaining 30% of the vote.

If you just want to count the votes for Cruz, Kasich and Trump, then Cruz got 59% of the vote. Is Trump going to get 59% of the vote in a race with just Cruz, Kasich and Trump?

So far, Trump has never won a majority in any state. If Trump cannot win a clear majority in NY with only two other candidates on the ballot, then he can never win a majority anywhere.

Yeah, in NY, Cruz is the 1/2 ... he should just drop ... for once we agree.
