No, hes not going to win directly or by convention.
Let’s hope not ...
Not by the numbers.
He got 14% in Ohio.
He aligned with Romney show screwed over our Governor.
Romney lost Ohio.
GOPe will lose Ohio if Cruz or Romney are on the ticket.
Florida will also go blue if anybody but Trump is on the ticket.
Not really hard to see how this plays out.
It’s impossible for him to win the nomination outright.
If the question is whether he could win the general, I think he could. He or Trump could.
Ross....yes, it is possible, but unlikely.
With under half of the possible delegates allocated, Trump is a few percentage points over half of the delegates needed and the current trajectory. The odds of Cruz winning are very long indeed.
Not in a contest ruled by the laws of simple arithmetic.
Depending on who you ask, Ted needs to win 78% or north, of all the remaining delegates to, clinch the nomination fair and square.
That’s not even close to being doable.
I sure hope not. Vote Trump.
I thought Trump was Goldwater? Do they all get a shot at that title?
I bet Kasichs dad once delivered a letter from Goldwater
Cruz (26.7) has finally surpassed Carson’s (24.8) RCP national average high from November. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/2016_republican_presidential_nomination-3823.html
He can not win legitimately, he can’t win 87% of the remaining delegates, so being the sleazeball he is, he is hoping the GOPe will hand it to him if he makes the right promises. Promise number 1# Amnesty.
He’s not going to be the nominee. He’ll never get enough delegates to win outright. It’s impossible. And in any floor fight he’s already shown us what he’s going to do....roll over and let the GOP establishment nominate whoever they darn well want IF Trump doesn’t have enough delegates...and maybe even if he does have enough delegates. But rest assured Teddy is angling for another job...probably Supreme court justice....which he will be promised whether or not Hillary or whomever wins. The fix is in. And if Clinton appoints him to the court he’s going to do and vote EXACTLY how the establishment wants him to. He’ll be another John Roberts.
CRUZ 2016
"I am the 12.36% !"
I Stand With Ted.
But, Trump is likely to win the nomination. At that point, I am putting Trump stickers on my car and signs in my yard.
This article is not entirely wrong in it’s analysis . . . Cruz COULD win, but it will take a sudden change of the winds. Facts are stubborn things.
Cruz should continue campaigning vigorously on to the convention, without ever personally attacking or belittling Trump, regardless of how things play out. We need to win in November. Only Trump or Cruz can do that.
Those are just my opinions.
Very unlikely Cruz wins the nomination but likely that Trump will.
I’ll vote for either in the general.
Nothing but a spoiler. Doing the dirty work of the GOPe. The stain is on his hands.
I looked to see what states are remaining for primaries.
Too many in the east that won’t vote for Cruz.
I really think those states will break for Kasich.
Shakin’ my head.
