Thanks , that’s good information. I think it’s wishful thinking, but it’s good information.
maybe we have different views what is snarky , but none of nus will ever agree on everything. Saying that the comment was uncalled for and I think we can agree on that.
what like cruz lost the must won state of FL with over half million less votes , others on the ballot, and never won a county here.
it’s over and has been since FL so just give it up. cruz only stays in to deny the voters what they want and to put a weaker candidate against Clinton at the behest of the establishment.
They were closed primaries.
Not sure what point you are trying to make.
>>>>>Ted Cruz in last place in perhaps the most liberal state in America.<<
...... Fedilito has been last place in 7-8 conservative states as well!......
>>>>Ted Cruz wins big in one of the most Conservative states (TX).<<<
......It was the worst homestate win for a potus candidate in 110 years
>>Trump Chumps say Ted is a muslim jihadist liar who eats children for breakfast.
...... No one here said that. —>Cheatin’, Lyin’ Poachin’ Ted, all true.
>>>Perhaps the Trump Chumps are cross-over DUmmies who are trolling this site?
........... Do you consider the founder of Free Republic, the boss a DU cross-over troll?

Cruz has lost it fair and square and should step aside for the sake of the country. If his continued efforts at thievery split and destroy the party
Cruz lost the primary vote and is now aiding and abetting the enemy (the GOPe)in their treasonous attempt to deny the nomination to the winner.
Cruz is a sore loser turned traitor against the grassroots voters. And the foolish neophyte thinks the GOPe is going to let him have a shot at the presidency if he helps them block Trump? Laughable if it wasnt so serious.

yep ... no fight here ... let’s have another beer ..... later
It was a home state victory that Cruz could not match in Texas (43% for Cruz in TX and 60% for Trump in NY). And Trump got 48 delegates in TX compared to Cruz getting 0 in NY.
“Ted Cruz wins big in one of the most Conservative states (TX).” LOL
Let’s compare Ted Cruz’s home state vs Trump’s home state
Cruz TX 43.8%
Trump TX 26.7%
Cruz NY 14.5%
Trump NY 60.5%
Cruz NY delegates 0
Trump NY delegates 90+
Cruz TX delegates 104
Trump TX delegates 48
Who did better in their home states?
Let me add that Texas is a very RED state and NY is a very BLUE state.
Neither Cruz nor Kasich won their home states with a majority of the vote.
Trump did that last night in NY. I rest my case.
I understand (to a point) the numbers ... I was only proffering a possible negative headline ... however ... many posters here are helping me to think a little better with more rational thinking
“...Hillary got double the votes...”
Only because there are more democrats in New York State. The Independents will go Trump.
Whatever, they enunciate, I will not hear it because I don't listen to those frauds. Perhaps nothing but certainly none will claim that Cruz has a chance to ever win NY..
Cruz brings little to the EC vote. He and Kasich if teamed, could win Ohio, but Florida, Virginia, New Hampshire? Quite unlikely.
Cruz and Kasich should bail. They cannot win the nod the old fashioned way. Well, the perceived old fashioned way. They have lost, but now seek to win by disenfranchising those who declined to vote for them in primaries already secured. As if that is going to ever go over well on Main
Street.
I guess that water boarding is out, but other forms of torture are in.
Why? It represents “New York” values...
There are 5,792,497 registered democrats and 2,731,688 registered republicans. That's slightly more than a 2:1 ratio.
Comparing raw numbers of votes on that basis just doesn't make sense.
I’ll take Manhattan...
only if you are paying as I have a misses which loves my money too much LOL
You said, “Cruz and Kasich should bail. They cannot win the nod the old fashioned way.”
The old fashioned way is just regular voting. That’s all america expects is a fair election. Let the people choose a candidate to represent them. Win or lose, walk away knowing that the outcome was legitimate.
Notice how the caucus crap sandwich and voterless voting is not happening in minority-rich states. Those people would not take this lying down. They would have burnt their respective state capitols down last week. Lots of disenfranchisement of the voters happening in lily white states.
Reading comprehension is hard also. I was talking about those New York values and more than just Cruz having a problem there. You should work on that.
Cruz brings very little EC vote. His entire strategy was based on targeting those sparsely populated states because of the lack of universal voting methods. He anticipated that he would have a serious popularity problem and they pinpointed his potential wins. he sent his dad to N.D. last summer for this purpose.
With 3 million Independent voters registered in New York, Trump could win NY and bring those 27 EV into play. From a political standpoint it would be the coup d’etat! And his Presidency would feel legitimate to the many that always challenge a close election (2000). Trump has universal appeal and he will finish the race quite well.
