    Ok so he won Texas Oklahoma , and Alaska. Is there any other state left where he can be vaguely competitive? If ted is truly anti establishment it is time for him to drop and let Trump defeat Rubio soundly. You know darn most Cruz supporters will go to Trump not to Rubio. In fact Rubios only hope is that Cruz stays in and continues to siphon off delegates from Trump and teh GOP establishment gets it's Hail Mary and a brokered convention. Even that is a long shot as Trump can still get 900 delegates from the states that are left. I think it is time for the deal maker to make a phone call and make a deal with Cruz for a cabinet position

    There are six states between now and Ohio, that do not have any polling data. They add up to 230 delegates. No one is getting out between now and two weeks from now.

    So which do you think Cruz has a chance in ? Cruz has enough money to last till the 15th but 2nd place is just the first loser when all is said and done. There is no way he can win the nomination at this point, that should be obvious. Time for back room deal making and I really can't see him and Rubio teaming up

    Rubio wins 1 state out of like 15. Totally pathetic on his part. And your gut instinct is to call for Cruz to get out.

    You just cant make this stuff up folks.

    what is hard to make up is that people would donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to Cruz who stands about as much of a chance to be the first man to go skinny dipping on mars than to even win a single state after last night. Do you really think the RNC is going to give Cruz the bone if it comes down to a brokered convention? Or are Cruzs billionaire donors just donating because they hope he can get enough delegates to spoil it for Trump so that Rubio the K Street sock puppet can have his coronation at the convention?

    I think there is no point in voting if you dont back someone who fights for your principles. I think a lot of people have an irrational hatred and fear of born again Christians. Hence why some of the dumbest and most illogical argument are made against Senator Cruz. Case in point the OP.

    so you think Rubio winning at the convention and another 4 years of a professional politician with a price tag on his butt would be a good thing. I like to battle I can win over cutting off my nose to spite my face, but then what can you expect from a guy who recites Dr Seus just to get some publicity, Don Quixote move over

    I hope the RNC is that stupid. It is VERY dangerous to openly let the citizenry know that their vote doesnt matter and the elections are a fraud.

    I dare Rubio. I dare the RNC.

    it's working for the DNC, monkey see monkey do. just me but I would like to see the beltway flushed and K street abandoned. Those are my principles, and Cruz will not be able to do it. The odds are dead against him

    Cruz doesn't have the money nor the Donors. Note Bush nor his donors jumped ship to Cruz in Texas. Nor did Bush endorse Rubio yet.

    Moreover its like Trump said. Cruz won't be getting much support form GOP Senators.

    it kinda does make sense when you consider cruzs strongest states have past. jackdog is for trump anyway so its more of a hypothethical discussion for us.
