Thanks. I went and looked.

“If a candidate receives a majority of the vote (more than 50%) that candidate is allocated all 47 at-large delegates. [Rule 38. Section 9.a. and 9.b.]”

I don’t think anyone is going to get to 50% in Texas.

Thank you. I thought it would be shared unless there was a blow-out, but I didn’t know the particulars. Appreciate the clarification.

Wouldn’t count too much on Teddy Bear’s Texas constituents so strongly. These persons feel as betrayed as Florida voters who happened to be voters for the Rube Both Cubans have enough skeletons in their closet to pack it up, take the lot to the nearest midway on any fair ground and open their own spook house. (AND the last two words were not meant in any racial terms, but please feel free to think so if you desire)

Yeah, sure, that’s why he would endorse Rubio over Trump. You are whacked!

Yeah, I was for Cruz, supprted him in primaries for senate, and even donated early in the morning when he announced for prez run, but his behaviour and revelations about those loans and his 500% increase in H1B and that TPP mess ...
He lost me. He had a golden opportunity.

Trump not vetted? Have you been living in a bubble or something? His life is an open book. Get with the program. Some Cruzots are real wackos!

Cruz is already trying to sell support he doesn’t really have. Even if he wins all the Texas delegates, who wants him on their side? Trump has Sessions and a host of admired supporters. Cruz has... well, Beck. How would you like to have Beck suddenly showing up and humping your leg. Beck has become the Lil Abner character with all the flies.

We’ve had a pretty detailed discussion of Rule 40 (different rule) as well.

For anyone interested.
There also also links to the entire rules package in there somewhere.

I don’t know if you are male or female, but, you are naive. Cruz has been a DC insider for many years going back to the Bush Administration. He was his policy adviser and worked for the Bush Adm. in the Federal Trade Commission. He is definitely an insider, but, seems to have a lot of you fooled. Oh yeah, he has also been in the Senate for 3 years as well. So, you might want to get educated on who and sho is’t an insider.

That’s great. Savor the moment...

You may look back on this time and remember when you help put this nation back on track.

You Cruz fanatics have such a bizarre hatred of Trump its down right strange .

Your not even concerned about the Dems.
Your scorched earth campaign says it all.

Teddy is the ultimated DC insider hack.
He and his wife were Bush insider in the DC.
His senate campaign was financed by Goldman Sachs .

This campaign is funded by Billionaire hedge funds .
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/cruz-presidential-bid-aided-by-billionaire-donors/ar-BBoF78h

Robert Mercer owns this DC hack.
A NY billionaire who owes the IRS 6 billion . Ted and Heidi are a DC power couple . No one buys that Madison Avenue created outsider crap anymore . Its over for fat cat Ted.

I don’t think Arkansas will go to either Cruz or Rubio. MN is full of nut jobs - look at who they hav eelecfted - Al Franken, Jesse Ventura. I rest my case.

Things are changing very fast now. We are in uncharted territory compared to what we experienced in our lifetimes beforehand.

There is really no indication that Trump supporters are trying to stop Democrats.

There are clear indications that they are trying to stop anyone who is conservatives.

Just...d@mn!

Cruz wins Texas but Trump will also pick up a lot of delegates there. Cruz doesn’t look likely to win anywhere else, but does have a chance in Oklahoma.

“Yes, Trump takes Florida”

And that’s why Rubio has gone rabid chihuahua mad. His behavior is not at all rational. If he loses FL, I don’t see how he stays in the race. The only possible thing would be because the establishment has thrown its weight (read: money) behind him as a Hail Mary

For Cruz not to take a yuuuuuge hunk of TX isn’t good for him, either. GWB took 88% of the TX primary vote as I recall. So 48% or whatever the latest polling shows isn’t anything for Cruz to brag about .. it may keep him alive a bit longer.
