The nation needs someone like Ted Cruz. We need a real conservative before our nation's sojourn into lawlessness and PC progressive fascism replaces rule of law. For whatever reason there are those on both the left and right who readily accept as fact the proposition that Cruz does not have a chance in hell of winning the general election. This may have been true in the past 2-3 election cycles. But it is not true now.

Ted's biggest hurdle is getting past Trump. Let's assume that he does get past Trump and gets the party nomination. Bernie is not going to get the Dem nomination. However, the more delegates his gets (and he is making significant gains now) the longer he drags this out, meaning Hillary is not going to come out of the primary season unscathed. First, it makes Mrs. Inevitable look silly to have to work to beat a crazy, old, elderly socialist who looks like the scientist from "Rick and Morty". The old coot ought to be in a retirement home waiting to die. Let's face it, Hillary looks like an asshole right now.

More importantly, Bernie has conned a lot of stupid fuckers. MANY of these stupid fuckers he has conned are young. Youngsters are bad about not voting, unlike older Americans. So once Bernie is gone, A LOT of Bernie's supporters are leaving the electorate. They are NOT all, or even mostly, going to stay involved for the sake of supporting Clinton. Likewise with Trump, if he fails to get the nomination then many of his supports are going to bail on the process. However, Trump supporters are older and, therefore, more prone to vote, AND they pretty much unanimously hate Hillary Clinton. They may dislike "Lyin' Ted" now, but come November he won't look so bad when the alternative is Hillary. Where will Bernie's supporters be in November? They will be stoned, in jail, and out of their voting districts in some fucked up, leftist university.

Add to this Hillary's many, many troubles, and you have got a great recipe for a historically low voter turn out among Dems in November. Hillary is establishment, she is a Wall Street whore, she is a confirmed pathological liar, she has zero principals as evidenced by how many times she alters her positions, she sells influence to foreign governments and corporations (uranium anyone?) then launders it through that bogus "Clinton Foundation" bullshit non-profit. Plus... PLUS, she may be facing criminal indictment. Currently there is a cadre of FBI agents trying to bring her down. At the very least she has the investigation hanging over her head. Of course, it is noted that if she survives this it will be used by her as a big victory - she fought the law and she won! The best case scenario for our republic is for this to remain hanging out there until after the election.

The foregoing all points to low voter turnout for Dems. But will Republicans also have low turnout? It will probably be lower than if a Trump is the nominee. Cruz has a personality that can rub people the wrong way. But who cares? I am voting for a man to lead and reinvigorate our constitutional republic. I am not so shallow as to refuse to support him just because I may not personally like him. Honestly, I love Trump. I imagine that back in the day he would get coked up out of his mind and fuck tons of women! Of course, maybe Ted did too. Who knows. The point is that likeability is not important to me when it comes to selecting a President. It should not be important to you either. I am not electing a spouse or a buddy.

Hillary has a ton of electoral votes built in because of the number of morons in places like New York and California who will vote for even an ISIS fighter if he has a "D" beside his name. But she is just such a despicable piece of shit that the young mush brains are probably going to sit this one out. That coupled with the justified abject hatred of anything Clinton on the right and among Trumpies means that this is the year that someone like Cruz could be elected. Do I believe it really will happen? No, not necessarily; not yet. But it COULD happen.

I believe it very well CAN happen. It's not that difficult to get there. Cruz is well within striking distance of Trump in the delegate count and we still have some big states left to decide. A Cruz win in California and Wisconsin would put him essentially tied with Trump and there are a ton of uncommitted delegates out there who are certainly not going to be inclined to vote for Trump. Don't let the MSM and political talking heads sway you... it's VERY possible for Cruz to win the nomination. And... with a strong VP pick like Kasich or even Fiorina, he has an excellent chance of defeating Hillary Clinton in the general.

In spite of all the nastiness being hurled at Cruz, he continues to gain momentum in the final stretch. You are literally seeing what happens when the wheels start coming off the Trump Bus... the attacks become more personal and ugly... That's a sign that Cruz is winning.
 
Has the OP understood that Cruz has a Canadian birth certificate and the words "natural born" are not arbitrary qualifiers for POTUS? This issue is going to come up.

*sigh* Cruz is a natural born US citizen, his mother is a citizen who gave birth to him in Canada. There have been numerous instances regarding this very issue and the courts have NEVER revoked a candidacy on this basis... EVER. This "issue" is a non-starter.

Cruz is most certainly NOT within striking distance of Trump in delegate count! I believe he has to win something like 90%+ of the vote to beat Trump. :thup:

Jesus Christ, dude, come outside and get some sun. It will do you some good.
 
The GOP primaries are basically Trump vs. whoever the establishment would pick in a brokered convention. So it's Trump vs. either Romney or Ryan.
I don't think that will happen. They will work out some sort of deal beforehand if necessary. A knock down, drag out convention on TV will probably doom the Republican establishment and its power hold. Why would they do that? Every problem has a solution, and every man has his price.

It has. Multiple times. All the time to be dismissed. Why?

Because Ted Cruz was an American citizen when he was born.

80% to get to the number. To get more than trump significantly less

Well, no... he really doesn't.

Cruz currently trails Trump by 273 delegates. Just California and Wisconsin represent 237 delegates and are winner-take-all states. There are 19 states remaining and 10 are winner-take-all. Rubio and Kasich control over 300 delegates as well. Most of those will likely end up in the Cruz column.

Trump needs 501. Cruz needs 774. Cruz has no chance at breaking the threshold. His best hope is a brokered convention, but if that happens neither Trump nor Cruz will be the nominee.

No, if that happens (and it will) Cruz will be the nominee.

Cruz/Kasich 2016
Aw that's cute. If the establishment get's it's dream, and is handed a brokered convention... if they don't pick Trump, it'll prove they don't give a damn about who got the most votes! And if they don't care about that, why would they pick a Cuban-Canadian loser who they hate almost as much as Trump?

No. Kasich has the best chance of the 3, but the establishment will probably come up with their own candidate.
