Trump or Cruz...I'd support either one. No establishment candidate. I'm so sick of those cockbites I could puke.
I truly believe Trump has the momentum and the enthusiasm on his side...plus the crossover appeal from the Reagan Democrats. Cruz cannot expand the electoral map. I read the other day the liberals are concerned that Trump could take NY. You know he would do well in MI, PA, WI, NJ, and NH...that expansion of the map into blue territory is what we need to win the election.
Cruz does not create that expansion. Cruz wouldn't win the election if the Aristocratic Oligarchy had any intention of giving a shot at it.
Cruz cannot get 1200+ delegates at this point. Either Trump gets 1200+ or no one does.
After the first ballot, the Establishment will work to put in THEIR candidate...not Cruz.
Watch and see...it's either Trump, or we don't get a say, and the Aristocracy gets their candidate...again. And we lose the election...again.
If Cruz starts winning any of the 'winner take all' states starting on March 15, he has a shot.
Ran it thru the RCP interactive primary calculator.
If Trump takes 39 states (the states he has already won included) that gives him 1309, at the current 35-40% that he is receiving now.
Cruz isn't going to win CA, NJ, WA, WI, OR, MI, RI, CT, NY, MD, DC, or PA.
The outright nomination is absolutely beyond his grasp.
P.S. - This is EXACTLY how the more moderate establishment candidate triumphs over the more Conservative candidate...how the McCains and the Romneys consistantly receive the nomination.
That is the number one reason I support Trump...if we're doomed to forever get a moderate, at least it can be OUR moderate.
