Re: Cruz Campaign is Done

Cruz is gonna speak soon? Is he going to drop out?

As far as Fiorina, I don't think it is why Cruz lost. I think his deal with Kasich hurt him far worse.

Re: Cruz Campaign is Done

The biggest problem I have with Cruz is that he's a hypocrite. He called for Kasich to get out of the race because he couldn't reach 1237, and now that Cruz can't get their either, he's not taking his own advice. When called out yesterday by a Trump supporter on this point, he didn't really have a r...

Re: Cruz Campaign is Done

I think Cruz suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome. Anybody see any of his Meet the Press interview today?

Start at about the 17:30 mark.

Re: Woody Guthrie Is Spinning In His Grave

I'm going to hold off making a general election prediction until after they duke it out in a debate. I would bet at least 30 million people watch the first Presidential debate (assuming it is indeed Trump v. Hillary) and I think that first debate could swing the polls 5 points one way or the other. ...

Re: Woody Guthrie Is Spinning In His Grave

Kasich is too electable for Republican voters. The party is lost somewhere out there and we all just wonder why... Kasich got into the race too late AND he totally bombed in the early debates (I remember him doing so bad that I thought he would be one of the early exits). Otherwise he could have es...

Re: Woody Guthrie Is Spinning In His Grave

The only candidate who I think ever posed any kind of a threat to Trump was Jeb Bush, and Trump neutralized him pretty early on. Cruz only ever started to ascend after Ben Carson slid, but Ben Carson was never a threat and by the time Cruz started moving up, it was already too late.

Re: It's over already!

Looks like Trump gets at least 56 delegates in Pennsylvania, Cruz gets 2, and 13 are undecided/uncommitted. That brings Trump's number to 993. New Jersey is a given, so that puts him at 1044. West Virginia's rules are such that he should get at least 31 out of 34 delegates there given his 20 point l...

Re: Damn Global Warming...

So why don't those on the left argue their agenda on those merits ...

Re: Damn Global Warming...

Oh no, not another global warming debate. These are almost as useless as gun control debates. I've pretty much settled on this stance: Is the earth getting warmer? Probably. Is man contributing to the earth getting warmer? Probably. Do we know how much man is contributing to the earth getting warmer...

Re: Cruz Campaign is Done

MW - that ship has long since sailed. The time to do that was when Trump could still be stopped. To do it now would just look like desperation, just like his pact with Kasich. And when you do things out of desperation at this point, all that will do is alienate Trump's voters. Trump at least has a c...

It's over already!

The republican race has been over for some time now, but tonight seals the deal. The media needs to stop pretending like Trump is going to go to the convention 100 or 150 delegates short of winning on the first ballot. At absolute worst, he'll be 20 or 30 short. But I think he gets to 1237 EASILY. C...

Re: Cruz Campaign is Done

Cruz is getting absolutely DESTROYED tonight. He's in a distant 3rd place in 4 out of 5 races.

Trump, on the other hand:

54
59
60
61
65

So much for the Trump ceiling theory.
