Nice job, Arthur.

The time for ‘feelings’ is over, it’s all math now.

Fact. Trump is getting votes from ALL sectors of the electorate, including independents and some democrats. That is what it takes to win against the dems in November.
And that’s the name of that tune. All the flailing and protest won’t change it.

Cruz can never do that. In FACT, he’s loosing to Trump with the Evangelicals and Hispanics and the ‘very conservative’.

[snip] Tuesday night’s results were very bad news for Cruz. It’s not just that it was his third third-place finish in a row. It’s also how Cruz lost. He carried only 27 percent of the white born-again and evangelical Christian vote, behind Trump’s 41 percent. Cruz also lost this group in New Hampshire and South Carolina. But, unlike in South Carolina, Cruz also trailed among “very conservative” voters in Nevada, 34 percent to Trump’s 38 percent. Finally, Cruz continues to struggle among “somewhat conservative” and moderate voters. He earned just 16 percent and 7 percent among those groups, respectively, according to the entrance poll. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/nevada-caucus-results-donald-trump-2016-republican-primary/

And, worse than that, Cruz used to impress me but has lost my respect with his campaign goings on. If he had conducted himself better in this campaign, and been an honorable loser in his Presidential bid rather than being a tag team with Rubio, he would have had a good chance for leadership roles in future elections in some capacity (never Prez., as he’s ineligible IMO) but Supreme Court, Atty Gen, etc. I have also seen some displeasure in Texas that after the effort to get out the vote and get him into the Senate, he was willing to chuck it and aspire to the Presidency so soon, so he may have also burned some bridges with his electorate in Texas, too.

Were you that hot chick with a cape and whip? She winked at me before waterboarding a Cruz supporter.
