It narrowed even further when he was sold for 30 pieces of silver to Rubio.

I likely won’t be interested when he tries to run for reelection in 2018 either.

Yep, Cruz is essentially FINISHED as far as the nomination is concerned - Trump is the only one with the level of support needed to win on the first ballot.

But Cruz can still play a BIG ROLE and keep Trump from getting the nomination...which means that the GOPe would, once again, gets to pick our candidate (at the convention).

Cruz teamed up with Rubio and the Washington Cartel to try
to take down Trump.

It didn’t work. But Cruz will lose what little support he has left.

I KNEW IT! A couple of Senators working together for the GOPe.

Nothing new, just a bit surprised they showed their hand in public.

It’s sad, isn’t it? The nosedive began with Glenn Beck, then the cultists here and on other sites doubled down on everything off key, arrogant and sanctimonious. They basically set their house on fire to warm the room.

I am just wondering why GGG hasn’t “jumped”on this news? I mean he still thinks Cruz is likened to “the second coming.”

If Cruz has any hand in a brokered convention against Trump, his political career is finished. Unless President Hillary nominates him for a job

Trump only needs to maintain 30 pct of the proportional delegates and hold the WTA states where he currently has solid leads to get to the magic number.

Tuesday he will eclipse 30 pct of the delegates and start building a cushion.

He will then shift focus to consolidating his lead in key WTA states, further building his cushion.

Rubio won’t likely drop out, but he will be mortally wounded when he loses FL.

The math says Trump on the 1st ballot.

“If Cruz has any hand in a brokered convention against Trump, his political career is finished.”

Could he be laying the groundwork for a new career in televangelism?

Yup, Ted ‘Judas Iscariot’ Cruz.

“But Cruz can still play a BIG ROLE”

Yes if he sinks that quintuple bank shot, and the cue ball performs a magic bullet move around the 9, 11, and 12 balls, he’s a shoe in.

It will be interesting to see the reaction when the consistent conservative endorses Amnesty Boy.
