Si Se Puede! Hablar un junto y hablar ruidosamente!
(Yes We Can! Say it together and say it loudly!)
Ah, a Steve Deace article. Glad to see he had time to get off of his knees before Cruz to share his drivelish rhetoric....
He’s not even going to win the nomination. But you get an a for effort in propping your boy up.
Of course he can - everybody here knows that.
The question is, if he does, which 64 EVs that Romney lost will he win? And which states that Romney won will he lose?
If any Cruz supporter can name me one state, just one, that Cruz can win that Romney didn’t I might take you seriously. Just one. I’m open to hearing it.
It’s kind of hard to win the nomination when you only win one state during the entire primary and even that one was by questionable means.
Going by the latest polls, here is how the next four weeks look for the nomination race:
Currently, it is 7-8, Cruz ahead in total delegates (all numbers here are Trump first, unless noted otherwise)
NH, FEB 9, 20 delegates, polling 33-11... likely result: 6 delegates to 3, Trump now ahead 13-11
SC, FEB 20, 50 delegates... polling 36-20, 18-10 delegates, Trump now up 31-21.
NV, FEB 23, 30 delegates... polling 33-20, 10-6 delegates, Trump now up 41-27.
Super Tuesday, March 1, twelve states:
TEXAS (155 delegates) 30-45, Cruz... 50-71, Trump's lead is wiped out. it's 91-98, Cruz!!!! Yay!!!
(ahem) but now for the other eleven states, LOL.
AL (47 delegates) polling 40-21 Trump... 19-10 in delegates
AK (25) 28-24... 7-6
GA (76) 38-29... 29-22
MA (39) 48-16... 19-6
OK (40) 35-25... 14-10
TN (55) 33-17... 18-9
VA (46) 28-19... 13-9
MN (38) polling at 23-21-18 Marco Cruz Trump... that's 7-8 in Trump-Cruz delegates
I cannot find a decently recent poll in VT (16 delegates), WY (26) and nothing from Arkansas (37 delegates) since hometown Huckabee left (he was leading, of course), so any old polling there would be useless. Let's call it about 37-31 of those 79 delegates.
The totals that these numbers predict for the morning of March 2?
Trump 254, Cruz 209
(Out of 728, equals 35 pct to 29 pct of delegates who have chosen officially. Of course they will likely have quite a few more each if more candidates drop out. We are now down to 9 from the original 18)
The hope remains for us Cruz folks that Ted was picked to lose Iowa by four points, and instead won by four points. This can easily be a tied game after March 1, or even better... but I thought you Trumpsters would like seeing this anyway. Keep it civil!!
(Corrected from my previous similar post... I left out Wyoming. Oops)
And lose big time to Hillary and Bernie......great.
Well written, thoughtful article.

You should have posted a little more for the forum rather click bait.
At which point the GOPe congress will decide that he’s not a natural born citizen, because congress makes that decision, not the courts. That opens the door for rubio/JEB/hitlery/bern. But hey, the current campaigns make for great bread and circus for the masses.
I don’t know about you, but one foreign born pres is enough for me. Do we really want a guy from a family of Cubans from Canada as POTUS? I want an AMERICAN.
And what about this?
If current trend holds, the number of Cubans seeking entry through Laredo will be about 24,700 this fiscal year. That’s about 60 percent more than 2014’s 15,600 and nearly twice as many as 2013’s 12,445.
The influx of Cubans to Texas is a result of the Obama administration’s efforts to normalize relations with the communist Castro regime, said Marc Rosenblum, deputy director of the U.S. Immigration Policy program at the Migration Policy Institute, a Washington-based think tank.
Obama’s Ordering the border guards to stand down and let illegals in from S America and Cuba assures Democratic vote to keep them in power from now on- not to mention the billions of dollars it cost to take care of them for most of them will be on welfare.
I’m sure most Cubans are good people, but we need to take care of our own first. Our elders and veterans, to name just a few, are suffering. Our hiways and bridges are falling apart.
We are 19 Trillion dollars in debt.
We cannot take care of the whole world.
How would Cruz feel/do about THIS?
He was born in Canada and will be disqualified by a shopped federal judge. Then the Republican Delegates will vote Rubio at the RNC convention.
That’s what you Cruzbots don’t understand. You can’t think more than one move ahead. Trust me that’s what the GOPe along with the DNC will make sure happens.
Then we will all get 8 more years of Obama policies which will finish the USA as we know it.
Say hello to Amnesty.
He can but probably won’t. I still think it’ll be Trump.....
