Religious zealots from the Republican party are not especially popular in a state like California. Cruz is toast.
Which seems highly likely.
Blah blah blah.
The table is set. We know who gets what for the most part.
Cruz is attempting to corral unforced delegates, which while normal, legal and comporting with the rules, is unwise. As Rush points out, there is infinite hell to pay if Trump arrives with the most votes and loses the nomination because he was out-worked.
So don’t do that. Arrive with the fewer delegates and make a deal for conservatism in exchange for unity.
Then, create wins until 2020 and bide your time. Cruz is young. If he helps Trump, he helps himself in the long run.
Right now Trump is at 1002 delegates (including the unbound delegates in PA who say they will support him). He needs 235 more delegates. There are a total of 505 delegates left in the 10 remaining primaries. He could, in theory, lose all 57 delegates in Indiana, all 172 delegates in California, and all the 36 delegates in Nebraska as well, and still win. But, that would require that he win every delegate available in the other 7 primaries.
But, the latest polls I’ve seen has Trump leading in WV with 61 percent, he is leading in IN by about 10 points, and in California by over 20 points. I’m sure he’ll take NJ’s winner take all primary on June 7th.
Barring Trump dropping dead, or dropping out for some odd reason, he will have over 1237 delegates on the first ballot. There are still at least 50 unbound delegates, and I’m sure Trump and his people will go after them as well for a cushion in the delegate count.
It was over after Wisconsin, then Indiana was going to be the end, now it's California. When it's obvious he's in command in California the headline will read "Even If He Wins California, Trump Needs To Win New Jersey Primary" and so on and so on.
Yeh I don’t think that’s going to be a problem since he’s leading by a huge margin.
Is it too early to announce Cruz is politically dead, long live Cruz-or whatever? I started out supporting Cruz but soon became turned off. It is interesting as other people experienced the same thing. It is hard to put ones finger on the cause of ones reaction to his candidacy.
[Trump Needs To Win California Primary]
Now that trump has won California, he will still to win Nebraska.
Now that Trump has won Nebraska, he will still need to west Virginia
Now that Trump has won...etc ad nauseum.
..... Not to mention if he becomes the Republican candidate he will then need to be able to garner enough electoral votes as well as battling electronic tampering, the Votes of the dead and Illegals to become the next President of the United States.
.... Not gonna be a cake walk ....
Trump is way way way ahead in all the CA polls.
the race to watch there is Bernie ....
It’s over. Cruz is a Ted Man Walking.

Trump won CA when Cruz picked Carly WaxenFace: Destroyer of jobs as the HP guys called her.
She invenTED tech outsourcing.
Cali is a done deal for Trump. Especially after the Mexicans have been rioting against him!
No kidding??? Does he really think no one knows this? I know he thinks all Trump supporters are stupid but - we can still do math the old-fashion way.
He’s up 34% in California. I’ll say we don’t have to worry about California; Lu has to worry about California.
