I was a Cruz supporter early on, but no longer. It is said in sports that in the glare of a championship game, all of the flaws of a team are exposed and put on full display. For Cruz, the glare of a presidential campaign has showed his flaws in clear relief.

You can stick a fork in him, he’s done.

You pegged Ted Cruz right on the money. Ted Cruz loves only one person...and, that is himself!!! I learned that the hard way in Texas, when I supported & voted for him in the Texas Senate primary. But.....as he achieved victory....he moved further and futher into the depths of what I call “the political soul sellers” and practicing in that process, he jumped the shark, and sold his soul to the Devil or, the highest bidder. No more Ted Cruz for me. And....it is really amazing, because Carly Fiorina is cut from exactly the same rotten cloth as Ted Cruz has been birthed from. Neither of them are for me, and, IMHO, for our country either. A vote cast for Ted Cruz, is a totally wasted vote!!! Go Donald J. Trump!!!

After Tuesday, with CNN now showing CNN Trump with 52 total delegates likely in PA (and it is likely that that number will go higher, probably over 60 before all is said and done and once they vote at the convention):

Current delegate count according to them, and I have found them to be fairly accurate is:

Trump: 991
Cruz: 568
Kasich: 154

I expect Trump will go well over the top (probably by 60 or more delegates at this point), on June 7th.

I say all of this as one who diligently supported Cruz. But the truth on the ground is what it is.

Now, if Cruz is interested in the GOP nominee (without any “e”) winning in November, then he needs to concede next week after Trump (in all likelihood) takes Indiana.

I pray to God that is what he will do. He has the power to:

1) Unite the party by so doing.
2) Deliver a huge blow to the GOPe by so doing.
3) Set up for a big GOP November win.

I understand JR’s and others’ (including my own) desire to see Trump and Cruz kiss and make up and hopefully at some point they do that.

At the beginning of this thing last year, I felt almost equally about Cruz and Trump, but found myself leaning towards Trump because I liked his candor but I also liked Cruz’s seeming ardency of the Constitution.

But the more I’ve seen and heard of Cruz, the less I’ve liked. I really don’t like listening to him, for a lot of reasons. Nevertheless, for the sake of helping Trump to skewer Hillary, I hope Trump and Cruz become allies at some point.
