Romney/Rubio.... now that right there is a ticket I will never, ever vote for. They actually think they can win an election without Trump’s supporters? Good luck with that. LOL

[Duchess47]

LOL

[zzeeman]

Yes, I hear talk of “third party” already from some. Some are praying for a good Libertarian Party candidate. :shrug:

[TomasUSMC]

Thanks for correcting me on that.

That will make it a little easier than I thought.....Still it could get dicey if he can’t get 8.

[Karl Spooner]

Maybe Cruz could buy a motel.

[GeaugaRepublican]

If Cruz backs Rubio, you will see Sessions endorse Trump.

I don’t doubt that. I’ve heard and read many things about google (in addition to putting certain searches at the top they’ve had privacy issues in the US and Europe courts) and that’s why I don’t use them - I use bing.com for searches.

How does Texas divide up the delegates?

[SelmaLee]

With all due respect to Mr Silver, second place is another way of saying First Loser.

The Cruz window is closing.

But he remains ineligible to the office of President or VP.

Cruz is NOT a DC outsider—he only plays one in public.

He is more of an insider than anyone realizes. He had a role to play in this election and he has failed.

After Tuesday, there will be no path forward for Ted.

[TomGuy]

Are the delegates won by Cruz/Rubio/Carson/Kasich/Bush allowed to change if their candidate drops out?

Unless the drop-out candidate releases them, they are still bound to that candidate for the 1st convention ballot. After the first ballot, free-for-all rules are in effect for all delegates.

I am not sure how that 8-state majority of delegates will work, however, for delegates pledged to candidates who do not meet that threshold.

[GeaugaRepublican]

Alex Jones, for the first time in his career, is backing a candidate. You know who.

[Cboldt]

It's too late for deals between Trump and Cruz. That ship sailed. Trump will take what he can get in Texas in a fight, as well as other states in the mix the same day. Wednesday morning, Cruz will have little to crow about. Texas at the most, which rationally doesn't allow him to stay in. At that point, the entity that wants him out is not Trump, it is the GOP. So, Cruz will see what the GOP offers and demands in exchange.

The Trump/Cruz bromance, if there ever was one, is over - barring some bizarre scenario where they team up to prove Cruz in ineligible for the office.

[Seattle Conservative]

Yes, they did lose out. I don’t think LePen is going away anytime soon.

[GeaugaRepublican]

Its for the Supreme Court, but would the Senate confirm?

Who knows.

[zzeeman]

Actually no, I don’t follow him. Who is he backing?

[hoosiermama]

Count Indiana for one. Our is winner take all open primary. Even local democrats are yelling. BUILD THE WALL!

[IwaCornDogs]

The scary part is, he’s actually not talking about himself.

He’s just the announcer for the GOPe, and this is war.

Notice the hash tag ... It’s their new game plan.

Trump stepping in has been a REAL game changer. The country has been watching superficial politics for a couple generations, at least. Trump’s entrance is a radical change.
