Cruz keeps saying he’s the only one who ever beat Trump...that would be Iowa...One potato, two potato...

[dfwgator]

I have already voted for Cruz. :)

I did too. It's not because I am against Trump. But I want Cruz to stay in this race, and to knock out Rubio once and for all.

Your teddy is finished. Too bad..

[Chode]

it'd be pretty embarrassing if he wasn't leading in his home state going into tuesday...

[neverbluffer]

Proportionate delegates...big difference! It does not matter if he wins the state at all unless he gets over 50% of the vote which he will not!

I'm reminded of threads from not too long ago, like

Cruz rises against Trump in South Carolina poll

South Carolina poll: Cruz gaining on Trump

We all know how that ended.

Like I said earlier, we will know in a bit over 48 hours.

And that embarrassment is what Rubio will feel when he doesnt win FL!!! Cant wait to see the look on his face.

“I did too. It’s not because I am against Trump. But I want Cruz to stay in this race, and to knock out Rubio once and for all”.

Cruz is tag teaming with Rubio, for Gods sake, they been parroting each other the last two days.

[Oklahoma]

None of these states are winner take all.

[Prince of Space]

Yuck. If Cruz wins Texas, will he again pronounce that God chose him, like he did after Iowa? Funny how God totally dissed him in the next 3 states, lol.

I think Cruz may also when Oklahoma since it is a closed primary.

I know TX is proportionate. But it still has hellva lot of delegates to tally up.

I am very much looking forward to Rubio losing in Florida as well.

You are assuming that all of Kasich and Carson’s support would go to Ted??? It doesn’t work that way - some would go to Trump and some to Rubio as well. This isn’t the way politics works.

Yet, we're told that all of Carson's voters in Iowa went to Cruz after Cruz's (and Rubio's) campaign repeated CNN's story of Carson dropping out.

Trump said he was owed an apology, because he would have won Iowa if that story wasn't spread.

Why didn't any of Carson's alleged stolen votes go to Trump?

[wiseprince]

Too bad. No respect for him left.

[wiseprince]

You probably gave us Bush too. Texans..
