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....

Misdirection. As Aria points out, 8 Bush people have gone to his side including Neil Bush.

Cruz is the NAU in the flesh.

Yes, the south and Midwest and northeast are all worried about those licencees and manufucturers.

So if nobody in the establishment likes Cruz, that’s a problem, if somebody in the establishment goes to Cruz’s side, that’s a problem. But Trump? Well, anybody who goes to his side is just great.

EXACTLY SO!

He shut her up, real FAST, when she called him a "sexist"!

He won't "invade her space", but he WILL be able to out do/counter her CRAZY debate style. Ted doesn't understand her, how to fight her, nor does he even know what her "hot buttons" are.

She's scared to death of facing Trump, because she does know what he can and shall do! And he beats her in N.Y. for sure and certain!

You don't understand politics, Trump, Cruz, nor Hillary, and it shows.

Your snippy persiflage isn't even clever.

I agree,every day more evidence coming out negative against him. When I was polled yesterday they got an earful. They quizzed me about FOX news and I slammed them,especially the roller derby queen megyn kelly.

DT folks are outraged Ted finally traded in his beanbags for the shivs and shanks DT has been using on him for two months. They only want to fight Mr. Nice Guy. Sorry, we have an all-new race now with no more high-road ‘pussy’ness.

>>If you think a lot of people stayed home refusing to vote for Romney ...you ain’t seen nothing yet IF Trump is the nominee.<<

IF what you said was true, it would be happening NOW. Cruz WOULD be the leading contender, but so far, he’s just..not.

It didn’t matter that there were 17 R contenders, Trump was ahead. Now, they’re gone and Trump is STILL ahead by 50%! Trump has 14 winning states to Cruz’s 7.

If Cruz expects all of Trump’s supporters to vote for him as the republican against hillary, he’s got a surprise coming to him. MANY of Trump’s supporters will either write Trump in, OR not vote for Cruz.

I’ve already decided that if the R convention violates the rules and Trump isn’t on the ticket, I WILL either write Trump in, and in the event that he wants out of the race, I will vote for the greasiest, communist I can possibly vote for other than Hillary. Why? Because this country is toast, done, rotten. Let’s get some one who’ll burn it up and get it done and over with, put it in the trash.

No point in agonizing a slow death. Get it done. Bernie’s 90% tax rate and give away the toilet seat should finsh it off nice and fast.

I was on here rooting for Matt Bevin while Trump was donating to Mitch McConnell. So try again.

Trump has donated to GOPers and Dems for one reason...donors OWN the donees! Trump doesn't like the system, bujt he used it; that's how it's done and you don't understand this at all; sadly.

With Trump, he word is his bond. If he says something will be done, IT'S DONE!

With Cruz, he mostly talks the talk, but when the time comes, he does what his BIGGEST donors want and then LIES about it! TPA, the Corker Bill, the Mississippi scandal all prove that, as does his being for a HUGE increase of H-1Bers!

Not necessarily. Remember, we are still in the primaries, and most of the people voting are voting for someone other than Trump. So it is hard to know right now how many of those who are voting for other candidates will actually come out and vote for Trump if he gets the nomination. As for Cruz being the leading contender, there are still 3 "not Trump" candidates in the race.

I understand it just fine. He’s a crony capitalist and a hypocrite.

Have you ever thought that people are tired of the obnoxious,bragadoccio,cocky,one note behavior of people from Texas? Good God we have 50 states not one. Being proud is one thing,but this behavior turns people off.

Just how long have you been sort of following politcs and have YOU ever worked on any national or even state wide campaigns? I doubt the last and you surely do NOT know what it's like to run a many billions worth business.

McConnell got Teddy do what what he wanted and yet you're blaming Trump for donating to a GOPer? LOL

You sounded like a typical disingenuous Trumpkin, ergo a liar.
Sans any evidence for or against, the assumption is logical.

I’ve been following politics long enough to know Trump is a snake oil salesman.
