“Interesting how important the details are this time. The GOP process is quite strange, seemingly designed to prevent another Ron Paul insurgency from bothering the likes of Mitt Romney”
Yes. It was designed for that.
And yes, Trump us Romney, in more ways than one.
He’s the 2016 Romney, new and improved.
His campaign has a huge sleaze problem. Lie after lie after lie.
Maybe it’s just not the Cruzer’s year.
But the guy is only 45 years old.
He’s got 3 or 4 more election cycles before he’s even prime POTUS age.
Two words.
"Open primary."
Except tha Trump is a total outsider and Cruz is not

The effort by the media is focusing on the evangelist vote and Trumps lead in that group.When they had a heavy hand in helping Trump.
Some fundamentalists have a thing against Catholics particularly the Pope. That story the MSM conjured up about the pope singling out Trump being a non christian may have turned this for Trump within that group.
Here the pope was responding to a question by a reporter. from Reuters news agency.But the pope never mentioned Trumps name in his lengthy reply ,which btw was carried by Limbaugh; It was this; expressed here in abstract;
Here the pope used the term One, to generalize his example and began with; If actually one said ( but Trumps name was inserted here by MSM ) and continued with : one does, one did, one believes : such and such in his response to a rather lenghty question by a so called reporter.. it was meant to be a generalized position applied to anyone who has those views.
Trump responded to what he thought was a direct persomal attack by the Pope which was shared and agreed to by everybody including this Catholic and what they were responding is to Trump in effect telling the pope to go to hell which made the difference.
If they voted that way because of that reason they were mislead by machinations of the media not the pope. Now the media anti religious agenda is busy claiming Cruz error was in appealing by mentioning: marriage, planned parenthood, abortion and the questioning of positions raken by Trump. Which diverts the attention from the media and its involvement while minimizing the Cruz candidacy.
Ted Cruz is fairly strong on ideology but he’s campaigned poorly
They’ve all been beaten by a loud shoot from the hip neophyte
And it’s killing them and their supporters and their precious egos and sense of righteousness
That’s the part I don’t like
