Trump has never said he would build a wall on the Texas - Mexico border. In fact in the debate tonight he said we need only about 1000 miles of wall because we have natural obstructions along most of the border.

The Texas border with Mexico is 1200 miles OF RIVER. There will never be a wall.

I wish it was me selling y'all a used car and not Trump.

I’ll honestly be surprised if Cruz loses this. If he does he is done.

I was set to vote for Cruz.
He became my preferred candidate when Walker went Chamber Of Amnesty shill.

But before this campaign began I had four potential Republican candidates I wanted to see driven permanently from the political stage:

Lindsay Graham is one, that needs no explanation.

Rick Perry, Jeb Bush, and Marco Rubio. All three of these have promised amnesty for illegal aliens at Council of La Raza events. The Council of the race. An open racial supremacist organization.

The removal of these four people is non negotiable. And it is a high priority for me.

Today Ted Cruz allied himself with Marco Rubio.
I can’t vote for him now.

Might right in Roy Moore. Or go with loopy Ben Carson.
May hold my nose for Trump.
Cruz ended himself as far as I am concerned.

I think that people keep assuming that if Rube drops out all of his votes go to Cruz.

Trump is a entrepreneur .

not a politician like Cruz . yeah politicians never do a damn good thing only raise taxes, grow government and let illegals in etc., only bad things.

You and others like you told the Wright Brothers the same thing “you're going to make what fly ? Ha ha ha!” “ that's impossible” “it can't be done” but the Wright Brothers said to the nattering nabobs of negativity :"To hell with you we will make it fly or die trying!" And they did make it Fly now they are immortal! .

They told the same thing to Thomas Edison , Graham Bell, to Henry Ford and a thousand other entrepreneurs. They even imprisoned a fellow for daring to say he had invented something that communicates through the air. They thought he was crazy or a witch. that thing was radio!

Watch and behold the power of American entrepreneurism! Watch Trump build the wall! Anything your mind can conceive and believe you can achieve!

Texas GOP primary is proportional with additional delegate wins for winning Congressional districts.

Cruz roughly tying Trump for delegates in Texas is not a good thing for Ted: he needs a convincing win in his home state to prove to reluctant donors sitting on the sidelines that they should fund Cruz to go forward.

“Cruz could win Texas by 49 percent and it won’t make a single solitary difference— it will still be all over”

Thank you for saving me from having to point that out. :-)

TX is not winner takes all.

Texas converts to winner takes all if one candidate gets over 50% of the vote. It's proportional, otherwise.

Anecdotal, but I was an early voter who went for Cruz...

Same here, but let the Trumpets spew all they want.

I am going to cut you some slack because it looks like you were drinking when you wrote that. But I am going to be forced to put you on my “Trump - I told you so list” for use later.

check out these videos of Cruz being himself if you dare:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfKwc5lpZZ0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkQz8vZ0jsU

Only Trump has stood up against the media, China, Mexico ,illegals, Muslims (All of the enemies of America and freedom). etc. All other politicians have not stood up nor said anything against ALL of these enemies of America.

President Trump will tame China! China has been eating our lunch as China makes everything.China uses unfair trade deals against the USA. Where the factories are ,the technology is and so is the power and wealth.China knows this ,S Korea, Japan all of Asia knows this. No one understands this here in America except me and Trump!

Here is Trump 25 years ago saying the same pro-American things he is saying now and explaining how Japan then was doing to the USA what China is today:

http://toprightnews.com/video-uncovered-trump-interview-from-over-25-years-ago-will-shock-a-lot-of-people/

Only Trump can make America great again. He is a businessman and is a tribute to all the business men who built America : Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, J.P. Morgan, Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, The Wright Brothers, Alexander Graham Bell, Andrew Carnegie ,Schwab etc.

Only Trump will build the wall. Only Tump will stop China. Only Trump ( And I) understand what China is doing to the USA.

Cruz is a Charlatan .These videos of CRuz behind the scenes prove he is a fraud:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfKwc5lpZZ0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkQz8vZ0jsU

Also Cruz voting for TPA empowering Obama on treaties and the Corker bill empowering the 2nd most evil regime Iran o build nukes (#1 most evil is Obama) prove he is a fake.

“He’s the establishment boy! He’ll “reach across the aisle” and “work with the democrats” and “find common ground”, ie., take in the backside and give them everything they want.”

He might even be a “compassionate” conservative. You know, one who will take the “pulse of the people” before deciding whether to do something truly terrible, like closing the border.

/s

Seriously - I can understand the way liberals thing. They’re just bat!@(* crazy, dumb as rocks, and greedy little children who just want free things and a government tit to suck on for their entire lives.

I don’t understand GOP-e’s. I really can’t think of ONE reason anyone would look at that chattering little phony and think: “Yeah! THAT’S my guy!”.

The last three polls reported by RealClearPolitics show Cruz ahead in Texas by 11%; 13%; and 15%. Here is the link:

Nate Silver, who has an excellent track record in political predictions, thinks Cruz has an 85% chance of winning. Here is the link:
