Bet 33 cents on Cruz to win a dollar. You have to bet twice that to win a dollar betting on Trump.
The graph of odds over time is interesting. Cruz has a pronounced peak (similar to the one that appears in election polls), that is now headed south.
Debate this week will be interesting. Nearly all attention will be on Trump, Cruz and Rubio - attention by the moderators and from the other debate participants. Cruz is going to have a tough time finding friends in that bunch, unless he turns his energy toward slamming the press.
the sad part of Cruz running and now tanking is that he really could’ve been AG. Had he done what Palin did and endorsed Trump like a week ago....he would have had a good claim to that position where he could really push our agenda hard. But no, he ran, even though his eligibility is, ahem, questionable. And...he probably could’ve been confirmed in the Senate, b/c they would probably be eager to get rid of him.
But now, he’s going to appear weaker after running, then doing well, and now tanking. Trump won’t offer him a job, and even if he did, I don’t think he could muster more than a few votes in the Senate. They are spiteful and they would see this as payback for someone who has been weakened by a foolish run for Prez.
Sigh.
This was all very avoidable.
“Nearly all attention will be on Trump, Cruz and Rubio”
Trump is already working to make sure that the attention will be just on him and Megyn. Cruz and Rubio will be sideshows.
The man is a genius. He is playing at a level that eludes most people.
