All those folks who kept repeating Trump’s negatives are going to have some fine crow pie coming up.

Cruz does little but bash Mr. Donald Trump.

I knew that would take a YUGE toll.

Voters want to hear the candidate’s plans to “Make America Great Again.”

Sad. And completely predictable.

Nobody likes a spoiler, and most Republicans are ready to unite.

The Indiana poll numbers flipped dramatically in the past weeks following the New York and "ACELA" primaries.

It was clear then that Trump would win, and now people are annoyed that Ted is monkeying with the outcome.

He lost his chance to exit on his own terms. Now the voters and the party are ready to kick him out.

Same with Kasich, by the way. He just wasn't in Indiana to bear the brunt of voter irritation.

Monitarily, Cruz will probably be fine, what with all that money he’s going to get from the lawsuit he filed against the National Enquirer. Oh, wait ...

When the history of this race is written.
The ‘Colorado Heist’ will be said to be the turning point for Canadian Cruz.

Cruz was on the douchebag scale at about a 35, and he’s jumped up to 45.

I said I would support the nominee (Only, Trump, Cruz or Carson at the time) from the beginning but now, Cruz really feels like the typical slimy politician I have grown to abhor...

Well gee, I wonder why.

*Sigh*

I want to think of him Cruz maybe being autistic in some way and literally being unable to see the emotions that he’s causing, but he’s really made me loathe his behavior as of late.

Trump is perceived rightly as the inevitable nominee.

Cruz comes across as the ungracious, desperate, surly loser.

That’s had an effect.

“Currently, just 39 percent of Republican voters nationwide have a favorable view of Cruz and 45 percent have a negative view. Cruz’s net-favorable rating with Republican voters, then, is -six. “

People are starting to see the real Cruz.

Watching the predictions based on these polls is like looking at the weather each day and predicting what the temperature will be in 200 years.

It’s too bad. He could have gone places if he stuck with the issues, like defending our borders, fiscal restraint, abortion, etc. He got mixed up in dirty politics, and his image will never recover. He may not have won this year, but if he kept his integrity, he could have been a force in the future.

But he sold his soul for a shot at today and it cost him everything. It’s too bad.

Cruz's decline in the polls reminds me of Mike Tyson's observation: everyone has a plan until they get hit in the mouth. Cruz's plan to counter Trump was to scoop up delegate slots in order to win after Trump fell short on the first ballot. The plan worked in the sense that Cruz's campaign managed to get many of his supporters named as delegates pledged to Trump on the first ballot. Unfortunately for Cruz, that success opened him up to Trump's smash mouth charge that the delegate selection process was rigged by party bosses to favor Cruz.

The charge instantly put Cruz and his supporters on the politically self-destructive path of defending the arcane rules of GOP delegate selection while Cruz was also posing as a political outsider intent on upending Washington's cronyism, corruption, and failed policies. Lyin' Ted indeed! And in the meanwhile, Cruz never developed and communicated clear and compelling policy ideas to galvanize public attention and support. Despite lush funding, a solid campaign team, and great intelligence, Cruz has never quite developed a signature issue or even a good campaign slogan.

Oddly, Cruz is mostly in agreement with Trump on the immigration issue but has squandered that advantage by sniping at Trump instead of developing an image as a courtly and super-polite, super-smart version of Trump. Mike Tyson might have advised Cruz not to try out-punching someone who is a better puncher than you are. Stay out of his reach, outsmart him, and wear him down. Indiana may now go for Trump and have Cruz dazed and reeling before he and his campaign can develop and apply such insights.

Cruz has spent years planning to be the “GUY” but his ambitions are collapsing around him. Voters don’t seem to trust him and his reaction to events is really off the wall to say the least. He should have dropped out weeks ago...all he is doing is embarrassing himself. Cruz was solidly endorsed here, myself included, but as time went by folks didnt like, trust or believe. Some are saying it’s all been an act since he first went to the Senate....but who knows at this point.

In any case his political career is in shambles and probably wont recover. The sleaze handle he has picked up will stick.
