I'll vote in April and Cruz will be on the ballot but Trump will waltz in NY
Why will Trump waltz in NY? Pat already told me that Republicans WANT a conservative and that conservative is Cruz. Since there are millions of conservatives hiding out in the Catskills, wouldn't the MORE conservative win in NY?

I'm still watching and listening, but I'm pretty solid on Cruz...by the time we have our primary the herd should be thinned out considerably & as hard as it is for me to admit, there's a very real possibility that Cruz will no longer be in the race...
IMO, just the opposite, the more people drop out, the more non-Trump votes will go to Cruz. If it were a 3 way race right now, Trump wouldn't be in the lead at all.

This is so confusing.
Thats the rational thought but it's still NY and Trump is a NY guy, people are drinking his kool aid , I'm still not buying what he's trying to sell Actually I am I just don't believe he's really selling it
Texas didn't vote in a primary until May 29th. Who do you think was left to vote for?
Texas gets to go March 1st this time...
Hey guys, I heard something about Texas NOT being winner take all because they moved up their primary. Is that true? And if so, could that be a curse?
Yes. it is proportional........... BY DISTRICT. Win a majority in a district and you get all of THAT Districts delegates.
If no one wins a majority [50 % +1 for the public school educated among us], then those candidates with at least 20% of the vote in that District share the delegates.
Cruz would do better with winner take all, but it might come too late to help him.
He should win at least 100 of the 155 awarded in Texas.
There is not enough time after the convention to run third party, imo. If R's do pull that move, it will be the lowest R turnout in a general election on record. No support for years afterword either. To save face the R's will have to choose Trump, if it is a Cruz/Trump split.
That is the sad fate of Cruz, he's being played against with a stacked deck, and only a convincing outright win will get him the nod. I personally don't think he can get that.

If Trump is within single digits and continues to hold a sizeable lead going into Texas, Cruz will get far less than 100,imo.
Texas likes Trump, too.
