Lying Ted hasn’t been corect about anything for quite some time.
I think the answer is much simpler. Once Cruz was mathematically eliminated his support tanked. Nobody really wants to vote for a spoiler. And his desperate whining about Trump doesn’t help his cause.
I wish writers would stop using nosh, it’s a stupid word. Just say eat.
So opposing transgender restroom rights derailed Ted in Indiana? Does anyone actually believe that?
This is a little premature. What about the Downs poll, and Cruz’s claim last night, that the race is a tie?
“Today, vast swaths of the state’s Republican electorate, from Indianapolis to West Lafayette, have retreated from the culture wars. “
It’s less accurate to say they have retreated than reprioritized.
When your house is on fire, you don’t focus on the stopped up toilet.
Immigration, Trade, & Terrorism; ITT.
Trump got ahead because he focused on these three issues. When he deviated from them, he lost ground.
Cruz could have been where Trump is, IF he had focused on ITT from the get go. He didn’t.
I don’t want freaks in the ladies room either.
But the issue is best left to the people to fight back and they are.
This isn’t a job for POTUS.
Now?These are precisely the GOPe-ers that Rush has been telling us about since the 1990s. They don't want Cruz because he stands on principle, and they don't want Trump because he'll take away the gravy train--and they'd rather not have Hillary! but they'll take her if they have to, because she's easier to live with than the ones on their own side who want to build the wall, and who want to keep America from watersliding to Sodom.
This isn't Cruz's fault, and it isn't Trump's fault. Trump will win in IN today, but it won't be because Cruz stood for sanity in the rest room; that would be precisely the wrong message to take from today's primary.
what many Daniels Republicans here are thinking about Cruz: “He has a terrible message.”
I don’t think the article got this right. I don’t think it was Cruz’s bathroom position that went over badly. I think it was that he appeared desperate and petty in making a big issue of it and trying to bash Trump with it. Our country is being invaded, our jobs have been shipped overseas, we don’t seem to win wars anymore and Cruz was talking about something pretty tangential, especially when you consider that there is not now and never has been anything stopping cross-dressers from going in the other sex’s bathrooms (other than angry citizens). This is in kind with other signs of Cruz desperation such as the last minute pick of a v.p. (goofy for a guy getting trounced) and teaming up with liberal John Kasich...
Not a Cruz fan but Politico preaching on how to be conservative is like Obama preaching on how to be Reagan.

I happen to agree with Ted Cruz about this. This idea of allowing men in women’s restrooms is a very bad one. I had a terrifying experience when I was young regarding this, and I am horrified that anyone would seriously consider this a good idea.
That being said, if a transgender (not a transvestite) discretely uses the women’s room, no one would even notice or care.
If thinking that men should not be in women’s restrooms is now controversial, we are more lost than I realized.
This is the problem with politics. Politics must rest upon a moral foundation; without that, it doesn’t matter who you put in office. If your people and their leaders don’t know right from wrong, politics can’t save them.
