He can't get to 270 no matter what, and the point of this thread is important, even if some of the Trump supporters are saying that no way Cruz can even get the nomination. It is to say to Cruz supporters and anyone out there who is examining the primary race, that even if Cruz were to get the nomination, he would lose, easily. I have realized that for a long time, ever since, as an early supporter, I would watch him in action, in speeches and debates, and I realized, this guy just doesn't have it. By "it" I mean leadership, inspirational qualities. I only knew him previously from soundbits, snippets and from reading his words. His positions sound great. He looks good on paper. And so I initially hoped that he would catch fire among the electorate.

But alas, it was not to be. He is not very popular nationally or in the party (complaining that Trump is unpopular while Ted can't come close to beating him makes no sense), and he cannot lead conservatives to victory in this, last best hope of America to survive as a republic.

So, the consensus among all thinking people is that Cruz cannot win the general election. Therefore, it now becomes clear that a vote for Ted in any remaining primaries, on the miniscule chance that Cruz can wrest the nomination from Trump, is a vote for Hillary.

It is a vote for Hillary not only because Ted would lose, but because even if Cruz does not get the nomination, but it is handed to Ryan or some other GOPe chump, then the party will go down to glorious, historic, defeat in that event as well.

No matter what you think will happen at the convention, a vote for Cruz is a vote for Hillary. That is undeniable. And that is why we rail at the Cruzbots who post here nonstop. They are either actively working for Hillary, or they are useful idiots who will bring us Hillary. Either way, if they cannot be convinced to support Trump against the establishment, they are enemies of conservatism.

Brilliant. Spot on.

There is no way Cruz wins in the general. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada. There is NO path to victory for him.

So Cruz and his supporters, if they love this country, need to give it up, and give it up now.

Cut the deal with Trump. VP, AG, SCOTUS. Whatever.

But for the love of our country, and for the love of our children, suspend your campaign. Now.
