Dear Republicans, It's Ted Cruz

DEAR REPUBLICANS, IT'S TED CRUZ

What is the rationale for Marco Rubio's candidacy?

The latest poll out from the classiest and most reliable Florida pollster, Quinnipiac University, says there is none.

After a week of disappointing elections for Rubio, the Florida Q Poll is the dagger to the heart of his presidential aspirations. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush can be happy that while his own bid failed, at least he killed the one his campaign staff called "Judas." Enjoy Fisher Island.

The poll shows frontrunner Donald Trump doubling up Florida freshman Rubio with less than a week to go before the winner-take-all contest for 99 delegates. Coming after a disastrous election night it should be enough to send Rubio packing.

The only argument for Rubio's continued candidacy was the "Romney Plan" in which voters should support any candidate in any race that can beat Donald Trump or deny him delegates. It worked pretty well in Michigan where Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas and Ohio Gov. John Kasich soaked up the majority of delegates with their tie for second place behind Trump....

Obviously, the media is beating a coordinated drum in order to get Rubio to leave the race. In their mind, that will benefit Cruz and help him to “take down” Trump. In the unlikely event THAT happens, they’ll turn on Cruz like a pack of piranhas, and destroy HIM, too - or just let him run against Hillary, since he has no chance of winning against her anyway.

I understand why the liberal media is playing this game. What I don’t understand is why so many people who are supposed on our side are going along with it - are they all corrupt, or just deluded?

Ignoring ObamaTRADE, Goldman Sacs, and the dirty tricks,
Cruz is the new Romney?

GOPe are not for this.

Cruz is more feared than Trump.

They’d have pushed out Kasich and Rubio.

Cruz is Cuban, would have a great chance to win Florida if Rubio pulled out and endorsed Cruz.

They won’t do it.

They’d rather have a Trump win than allow any possibility of Cruz winning.

No one in the Msm is on our side. Fox and the rest on on their own side just as the so called 2 parties are on the same side.

The head-to-head polls show Cruz winning against Hillary and Trump losing to her.

I don’t think so...8 Jeb people went to help Cruz...

Graham might have decided that he might get in trouble for stabbing him...

They might not like him but that doesn’t mean they won’t support him...he is controllable.

At this moment the Media, especially Fox News, is going absolutely over-the-top-anti-Trump. I just watched five minutes of Dana Perino gushing over Kasich! and CNN saying no chance Trump will get the 1237 delegates needed.

Dear God in Heaven the Media are INSANE!

Because he's a Mormon that won't stand up to the party, and who created Obamacare and then forced it on his state?

Yeah, that sounds exactly like Cruz. Putz.

Must be why Cruz is meeting with Bush, Rubio, and Kasich tomorrow. Makes total sense…

After calling him a liar to his face on the Senate floor. Mitch McConnell disagrees.

The globe seems to dread TRUMP.

Nobody dreads Cruz but his friends.

Yep, Cruz is the GOPe’s last chance to get a nominee who will be dependent on their big money donors and will toe the globalist line.
