Cruz rules, but the dependency on Slate to say so is ...
Slate sucks ass.
As a Cruz supporter who would sincerely like to see him win this year, it pains me to admit that I can see the writing on the wall. This article is basically on the right track. Unless there’s some significant game-changing event (e.g., Kasich dropping out, major Trump scandal, etc.), this doesn’t look like it’s going to be Cruz’s year. Let’s say Cruz gets to the convention with 700-800 delegates. That’d be a strong runner-up. He graciously concedes defeat and follows through on his pledge for the nominee but declines a spot on Trump’s ticket. The Donald goes down to inevitable defeat in November because 60% of the country hates him. And thus begins the campaign for 2020... with Ted in a very good position to take on an elderly, failed President Hillary.
Ted is mad that everyone chose Trump over him, so he is going to continue to move middle and stay there.
He will never be elected with the stench of Romney on him.
The only bright spot in this scenario is that both Bill and Hillary will be dead of natural causes—if cocaine and syphilis are natural causes—within five years.
We should be wondering if it will be existing a year from now.
The problem with what’s written is it doesn’t take into count ALL of the problems that will take place, if the Left does win the ‘16 POTUS race (as well as many of the the races for U.S. House and U.S. Senate): all voter fraud; all cheating to get what they want, politically; all judicial activism; all criminal activity, including all criminal activity caused by increased illegal immigration; the worsening of the mainstream media and entertainment world; the worsening of all, worldwide political correctness and the ongoing “dumbing down” of the general public; all worsening of political indoctrination within all government controlled schools, colleges, and universities;...all leading to the end of ANY SERIOUS political gains by non-leftists, anywhere! The non-left would remain a political minority for the long-term future!
There are things about CRUZ you obviously just don’t know....but if you did you wouldn’t be his proponent here.
America NEEDS TRUMP NOW more than ever.
TRUMP 2016
Ted Cruz is a spoiler. Nothing more. The bosses will toss him under the bus so fast he will think his US Visa got revoked. His only purpose to to get enough of Trump’s first round delegates to put the bosses in charge.
Trump is a figure head of the American peoples anger towards the criminals in DC who gave them the finger time after time. The system is working for the people
Or you guys will dump this election, allow HRC to win so your guy can run in 2020?
I guess it sounds like a plan to you,
I’d rather win this year.
Cruz’s problem is not just that he is not liked. It is that he is a globalist.
With Hindsight, Cruz should have cut an early deal with Trump to succeed him in 2020 after 1 term or maybe VP cruz on the 2020 ticket with Linda McMahon or someone Trump-acceptable at the top of the 2020 ticket.
look at Cruz’s numbers in in the finished primaries of Florida, Ohio, Illinois, Virginia, and Michigan and tell me again how a guy who is running on nothing more than I’m the most far right wing guy to run for President EVER is going to be elected in a general election?
Cruz is an insider. After the Sea Island CONfad Jeb Bush brought the plan that was hatched to the 3 stooges on the day of the debate.
Shortly after that Neil Bush, Jeb’s brother joined the Cruz campaign as his campaign finance manager. Neil you may recall was up to his eyeballs in the corruption at Silverado Savings and Loan scandal where over $1.6 billion was stolen, his daddy got him out of the mess.
Glenn Beck, Mitt Romney support him. The PAC to stop Trump is run by a Romney campaign aid.
It will be easier in 2020 when he is running as an incumbent.
No more 1st term Senators. Ted’s breadth of experience is all in the legal field. And he’s brilliant at it. He has never met a payroll, developed a business plan or run much of anything outside the confines of government. He appeals to a limited amount of the voting public and is surrounding himself with some dubious people. I do not see him standing any chance of winning a national election.
“Why Ted Cruz Could Win the GOP Nomination. In 2020.”
I don’t see how. He’ll still not be a NBC. He’ll still be a liar. Those things can’t change in four years’ time; those things can’t change... ever.
Losing 130 delegates or so coming up and Ted is out of contention. After that he is in for spite
