Cruz keeps calling for people who don’t have pathway to 1237 to drop out of the race.

Question: In a couple weeks when his pathway runs out, will Cruz take his own advice or be a hypocrite?

Trump said Rubio was a worse liar than Cruz—when he attacked little Marco—now he has reversed himself again. Anyone have evidence of this “unity “ tripe??? politico is full of sh!t. Cruz may have asked for an endorsement, Trump asked Cruz to be his Many months ago.

Would Trump drop out if he couldn't reach 1237?

If I were the among the last two candidates, I wouldn't drop out unless my possible total (current + remaining delegates) cannot beat the other candidate's current total.

I completely agree with you.

“As long as Ricky Ricardo had a clean past and no mistresses on his payroll- which was never vetted”

Right. Trump can't stand marital infidelity.

“By any measure Rubio is a better man than Cruz.”

Have you informed Trump of this yet?

Cruz said there were not any Rubio unity talks between their campaigns

So, what you're saying is...that Ted Cruz lied?

If Trump makes a statement, should I call him a liar because I don’t agree with it?

That wasn’t the question. There are still 3 candidates not a final 2 anyway since Kasich is obviously not leaving.

“...Gee, Rubio doesn’t trust Cruz and Romney and the others plotting to get a brokered convention. I can’t for the life of me think of a reason why...”

Rubio is not agreeing to anything with anyone. He thinks he can take the nomination with the GOPe’s help in a brokered convention.

“...I do have a trickle of respect for Rubio for doing the honorable thing and dropping out...”

Almost correct. He didn’t drop out - he “suspended” his campaign. He’s hoping and angling to be right smack in the middle of a brokered convention and believes he will be backed by the GOPe if that comes to pass.
