A close finish for second place in South Carolina means nobody leaves. Just as importantly, Marco Rubio's decision to cut up Cruz personally, suggesting that Cruz is a nefarious crook and brutal manipulator, means that Cruz will never drop out and endorse Rubio; Rubio obviously won't do that for Cruz, either. ... Which spells a Trump nomination.

The irony of this situation is that it was intended to propel JEB! to the nomination without the “conservative” base, i.e., the non-establishment base. So they set up Cruz, Rubio, Carson, Fiorina to split the base, and the favorite sons to split the vote more, and JEB! was supposed to win.
Then Trump comes in, activates the Reagan Coalition, and screws everything up by enlarging the tent, big time! And now he is poised to win using the establishment’s own strategy! There is a God in Heaven and he really has a sense of humor. :-)
A vote for Jeb is definitely a vote for Crony Capitalism
Trump is the mother of all flip-floppers with an outrageously dangerous temperament and Rubio is the mother of all liars.
Cruz is an honorable man.
A vote for Jeb very will may be a vote for crony capitalism. I’m not saying otherwise. I am saying that Jeb at least tells voters the truth. Rubio has to lie to trick the voters into voting for him.
Well at least I am supporting a winner. You alway choose the loser.....I guess it takes one to know one. I laugh at you stupid Cruz lovers. So dang ignorant. A sleazy nasty liar is who you support. Cruz is the worst person running.
Ghost is not a troll. Ghost is a serious, well-mannered poster. I like Ghost (and you too catnipman).
Thank you.
Trump supporters are not all stupid. I do disagree with all of them. Trump is not to be trusted. Why they trust him, I have no idea.
My gracious. That is the biggest false statement every made on FR. He has been the nastiest candidate around. And guess what? Trump at least is an American and cares about the country. We are not even sure if Cruz would treat Canada better then America since he just renounced his citizenship in 2015 right before announcing his ambitions to get a promotion.
And, for a Trump supporter to whine about anyone else “name-calling” is, well, stunning. Have you paid attention to your candidate?
Says the tool who had the crush on Saint Santo. A moron for the ages.
Cruz is an honorable man and I will be proud to cast my vote for him.
I like Roy Moore bu I don’t think he’ll get enough votes to win the presidency. Why waste your vote. Vote for someone that’s the closest to what you want that has a chance to win.
Thank you, MUDDOG. I feel the same about you.
Good. There are a few of you that will.
I think Trump is a great candidate and will be voting for him on March 15th.
In today’s atmosphere and at the level of sophistication of voters generally, endorsements are pudding, meaningless, and a 30-60 minute pony show that evaporates in about the same amount of time.
If Trump truly had an unstable temperament, he would not have had the success that he has had in the business world.
I agree with you. It’s mind boggling obvoious what Cruz is up to.
[I will be proud to cast my vote for him.]
TRUMP’S non-committal position on PALESTINE/ISRAEL confirmed my vote for TED CRUZ
+1 VOTE for CRUZ in early voting.
ALMOST meaningless.
