Decision Desk Reminder And Bleg
Not quite "super" Tuesday but still a BFD as Joe Biden would say.
The big news will be whether the anti-Trump forces in the GOP are a real thing or if Saturday was a blip on the radar for him. If Ted Cruz has similar day of voting momentum we saw in Louisiana he may be able to pick off Mississippi, which doesn't have nearly as much early voting as Louisiana did but unlike Louisiana is an open primary which benefits Trump. In Michigan, another open primary, if Cruz can steal a page from the Rubio playbook and get a "big second place win" in a state he'd normally not be thought to be strong in, the #neverTrump movement might be real. Of course the Decision Desk will have all the results tonight. And if you want access to our exclusive real-time prediction window or just support the project, you need to sign up for our daily newsletter. And if you live in or around Mississippi and have some free time tonight (starting at around 6:45) we need a volunteer to help on the ground in the Gulfport-Biloxi MS area, also in Jackson Co MS. If you're interested, drop Brandon an email at: Contact@DecisionDeskHQ.comComments

Point of order, just because you vote Cruz that doesn't mean #NeverTrump. Crossing over to vote Hillary instead, that's #TrueNeverTrump.

tonight will be interesting, especially in Michigan. I heard some Kasich supporter on the radio yesterday speculating he actually has a better chance in Michigan than Ohio. Weirdness is no excuse for such silliness, but if that is even remotely true then Kasich should already have suspended his campaign.

The real trick for Cruz is not getting stuck with a RINO VP.
If Cruz soon surges past Trump, watch for the gope then trying to undermine Cruz.
The gope wants no one to win the first ballot at the convention.

The Romney Jolt was timed to help the anti-Trumps, and the big dick debate also spiked Trump some. That has probably worn off, but the big money attack ads are blanketing the hot spots now.
Trump mostly speaks of himself and how HUUGE his support is. He could make a case on trade, and put the Cruz TPP support on display. But he doesn't seem to have those skills, to really convince on details. He needs to expose the globalists as the American enemy.
Michigan will be a big test, since that is supposedly the "strong on trade" winner for blue collar workers. Trump is the best "Americanist" but has to go beyond bluster. And he need to open his wallet now, but he seems content to squeak by as cheaply as possible. That might be his undoing.

If so, that's rich, since the party will tell you it helps 'broaden the appeal of the nominee.'
I'd love if it broadened it to a candidate they hate even more than the conservative favorite.

If Cruz actually (very very small chance) got the nomination, he should offer VP to Trump in his acceptance speech where he would (as per one of the early debates) be soundly rejected.
I strongly doubt the GPOe would undermine him, though. He's distasteful to them, but the only shot at not self-destructing the entire GOP.
If Trump actually accepted VP in public, it would create an amusing dilemma, wouldn't it?

I actually ran into Mickey years later in PR. Out dive shop was in a big hotel and we also had an awesome bar that looked out over the pools and then on to the ocean. Mickey sat at the bar and held court for a few days. He was very nice to me and gave me an autograph for my mom who adored him. She thought he looked like my dad.

Our primary is next week and I'm truly stuck on the hornies of a dilemma, as Yosemite Sam might say.
I'm a Cruzer and really like his platform and principles. OTOH, Donald Trump's Hair scares the global elitists who want their anti-American candidates in orifice in this, my beloved country.
Cruz has momentum and wins many of the closed primary states like mine. Trump will have more of an effect on our society at large, which I view as being very important since, as the late, great Andrew Brietbart said, is upstream of politics.
All of the people I consider my enemies hate both of them.
What to do?
I'd like to vote for Cruz, yet if he wins, Trump might not get the clear majority of delegates he needs going into the convention. I'd be perfectly willing to vote for Cruz next week, then Trump in November.
If I was dead, I could vote for them both several times, along with buzzion, so there's that.

And Michigan is weird. Republicans have held the senate since the 1980s; held the house most of those years; and the same for the governorship. Yet we keep electing Dems at the national level. Even as a Michigander I can't figure it out.

I'm a Yankee fan but by all info available Joe D was an asshole and not very nice to Mickey
The only good thing about DiMaggio I know of is his sending roses to Marilyn Monroe's crypt every week. Of course, that's probably guilt, since he beat the living hell out of her during the filming of The Seven Year Itch.

>>Top tech giants from Apple, Google, Napster and Facebook along with
GOP elites including Karl Rove, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, Ben Sasse
and Kevin McCarthy met at a secret island resort off the coast of
Georgia to plot how to stop Trump.
Alrighty, then!!
These would be the same tech giants who have been colluding with Obama for 7+ years, and who are currently quietly and not-so-quietly censoring conservative speech, stories in order to elect Hillary and retain Obama's narrative.

Yeah with the Fans, The Press, and his family to some extend sure, but other than that he actually seemed to be OK. And I did not mean that as a joke. And also at least he was an REAL American Hero, and I do mean that
Oh, definitely a true American hero. Left baseball to fight in two wars. Was John Glenn's wingman in Korea.
He was the best hitter ever. Some say he was the best fighter pilot. He wanted to be the best fly fisherman ever.
The thing is, and this is from accounts from his friends, not just the press, he had no understanding of people who were not perfect. He would fly into a rage if someone blew a cast over a clearly catchable fish.
I've read things by Johnny Pesky and others who said they just learned to roll their eyes and take their turn in the barrel.
He was a perfectionist who just didn't understand the lack of perfection.
It says something about his as a man that his children are bitterly fighting with him to this day. I don't remember if they've bothered to keep up the payments on his frozen head.

Michigan is a closed primary
Party affiliation is not a criterion for voting.
Votes ask for, and receive the party ballot of their choice.
Voters in closed primaries must state the party primary they wish to participate in before being issued a ballot. The ballot given to voters only has candidates of the party that corresponds to the voter’s choice

Michigan has a closed primary, meaning you have to choose when you arrive at the polling place whether you want a Republican or Democratic ballot. If you try to vote on both sides of the ballot, it will be disqualified. So be careful.

The Orlando Tragic are nothing but a glorified D-League team who are somehow in the NBA. Their management blows goats and ownership just uses them as a tax write-off.

I'm starting to realize Trump's best bet is for actually for Kasich and Rubio to win their states.
Why? Because then they stay in the race.
Trump loses by double digits to everyone else in the race and probably can't ever get to 55% of the GOP, so his best chance is a three-man race through all the late WTA states, which are around 500 delegates.
So losing the 200 or so delegates in FL+OH might actually be to Trump's benefit in the long run.

Odd, the Detroit News says Closed.
Michigan has a closed primary, meaning you have to choose when you arrive at the polling place whether you want a Republican or Democratic ballot.
I think this violates the traditional meaning of closed primary in which you must be registered as a member of the party in order to vote in its primary.
If you can choose your ballot on arrival, that's open.

"Idaho.........32 Delegates, Proportional, Closed Primary
Michigan.....59 Delegates, Proportional, Closed Primary"
can that be right? Idaho has 2 reps in the house, Michigan has 14.
-----------
Does anyone know how they choose delegates? I assume it is based on population plus how strongly GOP your state is? So if two states had same population but one was strong blue and one was strong red, the redder one would have more delegates. But I don't really know.

A lot of national security types seem genuinely outraged at what Her Thighness has done, so I don't see a moment of exoneration. Seems more likely that it will be thrown into a dark closet and allowed to die when nobody is looking.

It's looking like she was committing treason. If the foundation is allowed to exist after this - if no one goes to jail for this, our country is really, truly over.

People who don't like socialism, and those that can't stand Hillary or her bag of tricks. They probably don't like Republicans either and see Trump as sympatico. Those are not 'Libbys'.

They probably don't like Republicans either and see Trump as sympatico. Those are not 'Libbys'.
------------
I suspect there are a little of both. I'm open to the idea that even if they are really democrats, once they vote for Trump they are likely to vote for him again. But at what cost? Does taking in those disaffected Dems outweigh the cost of losing principled conservatives? I don't know that answer.

I can't believe I actually donated to Rubio. It was a lot less than I sent to Cruz, but still. I feel extra dumb now.
Is it even possible Rubio loses FL now, with a 25% early voter lead?
I need a shower, and not just because of the furiously masturbating hobos.
Also, I suspect the polls are just worthless in this primary. I mean, 31 off in Kansas? Come on.
Off to work.

Democrats (and Independents) who aren't down with being victimized in
favor of Democrats' preferred constituencies and ending with the crappy
end of every stick. People who want the wall and a hardline on illegal
immigration. People who are not happy with any abortion anytime.

The switch voters are folks who want Hillary to go against Trump, because she has reams of shit to use against him in the general. Since Hillary is walking away with their primary, no need to waste a vote.
Your turn! Fun game.

Baseball has been around for quite some time. It was Cap Anson who refused to play against a team that had a black catcher (Moses Fleetwood Walker). So if Ty Cobb was racist, he was just a second-generation me-too racist. Bush League?
In a slump, Kirk Gibson was sent down for a while to the Toledo Mud Hens. One night, warming up in the batter's box, Gibby heard a fan behind the plate mocking him for his season so far. He walked over to the wall and cold-cocked the fan.
Now that is a Major League Asshole, also a truly great player.

Mega bucks spent by Republicans attacking Trump, and the endless negative attacks on him by Media, maybe especially Foxy News.If he falters, the same treatment will switch to Cruz.
Get ready for Hillary!! Looks like it's what the deep pockets Republicans want, and $$ buys the Presidency. Embrace the Oligarchy...

"Top tech giants from Apple, Google, Napster and Facebook along with GOP elites including Karl Rove, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, Ben Sasse and Kevin McCarthy met at a secret island resort off the coast of Georgia to plot how to stop Trump."
That's some secret plotting you got going on there, you blabbermouths.

Because wars lasting longer than WWII are unheard of, and allowing Russia and Radical Islam to control the bulk of the world's oild supply could not possibly have negative consequences for the US.

A few years ago, I got into a fight with a SJW on a baseball site because the SJW was saying Cobb should be kicked out of the HOF because racist. I said the HOF is not about who were the least racist, or nicest or most charming players but about who were the best. And Cobb makes it into the top 5 in every list I've seen.
Of course, the SJW said that was because the people making the lists are racey racists....too many white guys in the HOF!
I expect to see serious efforts by SJWs to boot players out of the Hall in upcoming years. Stats? Who cares about stats? Was he nice to Jackie Robinson?

As reference material only, the last B-21 in the inventory was a Dragon.
And, the only previous Northrop or Grumman with a B that the AF actually bought (remember, the original flying wings were rejected with extreme prejudice and dynamite on the tarmac, but mostly...)
was the Snark.
Back when missiles (for some value of "Missile") still had B-numbers.

That is the "we'll vote for Hillary over Trump, globalist approach. The globalists are already destroying the country, but upper middle are happy as long as their (globalist) stock market stays in bubble territory (via fed manipulation).
They will take the long knives out for Cruz later, but he is useful for now. They fear Trump can actually take it away from the globalists and hard left. Cruz is positioned for the conservatives and evangelical, but struggles even there. Trump is the "Americanist" and the leftists and globalists cannot have an America First president.

People who have met Robin Yount tell me he is a genuinely nice guy with a self-depreciating sense of humor.
And I remember reading a story about a Cards fan who attended the HOF inductions one year at Cooperstown and spotted his childhood idol, the fearsome Bob Gibson. With some trepidation, he went up to Gibson and asked him to sign a baseball for his son. He said Gibson was gracious and good humored and he saw Gibson chatting and joking with fans a number of times over the next few days. So either Gibby mellowed after retirement or his ferocity was confined to the batters he faced.

I definitely think the tide is turning against Trump, but I also think it may be too little too late and the field is still fractured.
Had Rubio gone on the attack like this a few weeks before he did, Trump would be in the rear view mirror. Cruz and Jeb never were able to really get in his head like Rubio did.
That being said I think Rubio is also fading fast.

And I remember reading a story about a Cards fan who attended the HOF inductions one year at Cooperstown and spotted his childhood idol, the fearsome Bob Gibson. With some trepidation, he went up to Gibson and asked him to sign a baseball for his son. He said Gibson was gracious and good humored and he saw Gibson chatting and joking with fans a number of times over the next few days. So either Gibby mellowed after retirement or his ferocity was confined to the batters he faced.
Posted by: Donna and V. (sans ampersands at the present time) at March 08, 2016 11:04 AM (u0lmX) Got to meet Mr. Gibson at Scott AFB in southern Illinois (about 20 miles East of St Louis. It was a MLB sponsored event. Got to the venue early and he kindly signed a baseball for my son. We talked a bit and told him I was a Giants fan. He said he only went head-to-head against Marichel once as the owners realized both pitchers were draws on their own.
MLB had a handler there and Mr. Gibson would not look directly at you when he talked. Suspect MLB was concerned fans might complain if they thought one fan was getting more attention than another. Just was odd.

Clearly, Trump and Cruz are trading voters back and forth more than the other candidates yet Cruz first tried to buddy up with Trump and then had pretty pathetic attacks. Every strategy failed until Rubio made it a jump ball again.
The race now seems down to Cruz and Trump and I'm heavily leaning Cruz, but let's just say I don't think Cruz doing scorched Earth against Hillary is going to deliver like it should.

I really don't think Rubio losing will be because he attacked Trump, it will be because of Gang of 8.
----------
Agree on both points. On the latter, Rubio's attacks on Trump didn't do him in, but it may have accelerated his descent.
On the former, I agree, but perhaps Cruz wants to be in a stronger position to really go on the attack. That is by getting Rubio to drop out. Or he thinks that if he attacks too strong he may alienate those few voters who are still just Trump curious. Finally, Cruz could play the game that if we do go to a brokered convention, his longshot and best case is for Trump to support Cruz - so why unnecessarily antagonize him.
If Cruz wins this nomination (a big if but play along), we will look back at this as one of the most well run tactical campaigns in a long while.
If he loses, I think we will always say he was a longshot - not that he lost a winnable nomination.
I really don't think Rubio losing will be because he attacked Trump, it will be because of Gang of 8.
----------
Agree on both points. On the latter, Rubio's attacks on Trump didn't do him in, but it may have accelerated his descent.
On the former, I agree, but perhaps Cruz wants to be in a stronger position to really go on the attack. That is by getting Rubio to drop out. Or he thinks that if he attacks too strong he may alienate those few voters who are still just Trump curious. Finally, Cruz could play the game that if we do go to a brokered convention, his longshot and best case is for Trump to support Cruz - so why unnecessarily antagonize him.

That's not going to work against Hillary.
I have concerns about Trump but the one thing I really do like about him is the guy is good at destroying people and that's what our nominee(s) have lacked.
Like John McCain running ads during the Democrat Convention saying how swell he thought Obama was to try and portray himself as some nice guy.
Nice guys finish last.

----------
As someone who has said I would not vote Trump, I too tire of their attitude. Partly because many (though not all) of the nevertrumpers are also nevercruzers or at least have to constantly point out how they hate cruz.
It sucks when your candidate doesn't win, but sometimes you have to accept reality, this is not Rubio's year. And largely because he gave himself one big gun shot wound.

Trump is a fantastic movement. He's the middle finger we all want to give. Only problem with it all, (the whole cut off your nose to spite your face idea), is that behind the movement is a guy wholly unfit to lead a country.
I want to burn the GOPe to the ground as much as the next moron, but Trump is a completely different beast. You're going for a pinpoint strike against the GOPe, and you're using a big ass nuke to do it.
What I truly believe Trump will bring to America is quite a bit of suffering. He's just not what I want in a President, no matter how pissed off I am. He's as narcissistic as Obama. He's full of hot air and ego. He runs on at the mouth. He's openly angry, smug and indifferent to people he disagrees with. The list goes on and on.
Some people in the #nevertrump camp are also in the #fucktheGOPe camp. It's a rough place to be.

If Cruz loses, it will be because the same reason every other candidate did. They were afraid to take on Trump and hoped fate would take him out. So they all squabbled among themselves until it was too late.
And Cruz was NOT a long shot candidate, I believe he had FAR more campaign money than any other candidate besides Jeb. He was well known before he ran for President on a national stage, far more of a household name than when Obama took on Hillary.
Trump WAS a longshot candidate and would have EASILY been taken out had we had a candidate with some balls that knew how to throw a punch.

Cruz doesn't need to worry about a RINO VP, as he already is one
Watched the Trump rally in MS and noticed how much time he spends talking about how bad those trade deals are for the US. Decided to see how much space Cruz devotes to trade deals. The answer is, not much. The GOPe will be unhappy if Ted takes it, but they can live with it. Lindsay said as much on Sunday.

Where have you been. Cruz did not directly attack Trump until Trump questioned his eligibility. Cruz actually took position that though the message could have been delivered differently he agreed with Trump on his immigration position and had no intention of attacking him like the other candidates. Trump was the single issue candidate at that time.

I am in one of the 4 states voting today. Yesterday, my answering machine at home (yes, I still have a land line!) logged six separate 'get out the vote' calls. FIVE were from Rubio, 1 from Kasich. Nothing from Cruz or Trump. The five from Rubio were shocking to me. Why so many? I got the infamous Romney call and was quite surprised that he encourage me to vote for Rubio and then trashed Trump in his call. I didn't know Romney had endorsed anyone...and here he was making a call for Rubio? Very coordinated. If Rubio's campaign thinks this works, they are wrong. It smacked of desperation.
Just thought I'd give a report. Curious to see if my polling place is busier than usual.

What's the mood on Twitter like? Before I quit it (about a month ago), the Rubio supporters were joyous, optimistic and confident he would prevail. I'm wondering if they are still excited or more belligerent now..

Lotsa accusations of racism from them, for one thing. Throwing shade over Dondi winning a landslide among Puerto Rican prison inmates denounced vociferously. Same thing with commenting about his snake-tongue in his Spanish speeches.
And much talk about Rubio's lane opening up in the remaining states.

Cruz doesn't need to worry about a RINO VP, as he already is one
Watched the Trump rally in MS and noticed how much time he spends
talking about how bad those trade deals are for the US. Decided to see
how much space Cruz devotes to trade deals. The answer is, not much. The
GOPe will be unhappy if Ted takes it, but they can live with it.
Lindsay said as much on Sunday.

I get blasted for being a Trump supporter for merely pointing out the hypocrisy of the attacks made against him by both, the Left AND the Establishment Right, and how he just continues on. I don't see Trump as a solution but more of a symptom of the problem. My party left me and others behind. This support for a guy like Trump isn't a tamtrum, it's a revolt. Voter version of "Shock and Awe".
It may not end well, but it may reset the playing field unlike any other time in recent memory, and I think it has been coming for years.
I too am not fond of any of the choices. November is a long way off.

Of course we must face this fact. Hillary has placed the services of her vote-stealing consortium in Trumps small hands during the primary season. Sort of a reverse option to deny the nomination of Cruz. She knows she can't beat Cruz in the general election. In your heart you know this is true.

There is no Anti-Trump coalition. This is a three way fight:
1. Trump Supporters
2. Cruz Supporters
3. Establishment Supporters
Most of the establishment supporters have already admitted they will support Hillary Clinton before Trump or Cruz. If they can achieve a brokered convention they will happily make Mittens the next GOP nominee. They don't care if Trump runs as a 3rd party candidate, or what Cruz will say or do in an event of Mittens/Ryan II nomination, and they don't care if Hillary wins.
They will still be in power of the GOP if they get a brokered convention and Hillary wins the presidency. That to them it is better than Trump or Cruz. That is all that matters to them, and all that ever has.
To me the only questions that should matter to those not part of the establishment is:
1. Can Cruz or Trump win the nomination outright?
2. If neither do, will Trump and Cruz be able to put aside their hatred for each other, political differences, and egos to ally with one another?
Considering Trump said Cruz is not eligible for the Presidency and Cruz's people have called Trump "Hitler"..I suspect question No.2 is a big no. However, if the establishment retains power of the GOP after this election good luck on ever getting them out of power again. The result - Get ready for a big helping of Amnesty and Islamic outreach from that point on.
That is why the battle over who is "conservative" is irrelevant to me at this point. This is about who will destroy the establishment before they can destroy you. If you are a Cruz supporter what do you think an empowered GOPe will do to Cruz after this election is over? It is not pretty...

From LET IT BURN to "this guy is unfit for office" as if anyone else IS fit for it and as if the last 16 years never happened.

Trump beats everybody, everywhere. He leeches support from democrat blocs: minorities, youth, unions. He has gained strength every month of the campaign. He brings in non-voters.
Prize the head to head number on the front page of RCP over every other data point from this race at your peril.
Your intellectual peril, that's not a threat.

The word 'conservative' has been debased to the point of nonsense. Cruz is a 'constitutionalist' first and foremost.
The $64,000 question is, is he too principled to get down in the mud and engage in a knife fight?
Because if he is......

Just my opinion. Trump is the only one that can command the stage. He's proven this already with the amount of media attention he gets. Half of messaging is getting our message out. If Cruz is the nominee, the media will ignore him or at the very least belittle him - as they do with any other GOP candidate. The only problem here is - Trump would be the messenger.

Not by a long shot, notsothoreau...
do you not pay attention to this stuff? Cruz hired 6 of Jeb Bush's financial consultants. Yeah, that's a real outsider there. Cruz has been missing votes at the Senate, just like Rubio. If he manages to get it, you'll be hearing a lot about Heidi Cruz's connections and about his dad's idea that Cruz has been annointed by God as a "king" (Seven Mountain). They are holding back on this, because they want a weaker candidate to win. And if he manages somehow, he will lose in the general badly. People are not turning out at big rallies for Ted Cruz.

One person has been killed and nine wounded in a stabbing spree by an Arab terrorist in Jaffa.
Several of the injured victims are in serious condition.
The attacker struck at two separate locations near the marina, before being tackled and arrested by police.
According to police, the terrorist first stabbed three people at the marina, before running to a nearby restaurant and stabbing four others.
The attack came as US Vice President Joe Biden arrived in Israel Tuesday evening, for the start of an official visit. Biden was in Jaffa at the time of the stabbing, as he was attending an event at the Peres Center for Peace.
Yeah Fredo, force Israel to make peace with these animals...what could possibly go wrong?

Speaking of Rino's.
One night after a [Cubs] game, we were at Harry Carey's famous restaurant and saw Ryne Sandberg and family at a nearby table. Wife wanted autograph. I said, don't bother the man.
She went over, he was nice as anything, and when she told him what I'd said he laughed out loud and said, "Why do you think I come in here?"
It was fun to see a guy who'd gotten some fame actually enjoying it, instead of the whiny bitching you hear from singers and actors all the time.

"What do you think she will do with 40 years of Trump interviews, articles, lovers, positions and such?"
Much of it is out there already. Plus, when you are comparing Trump to Hillary, she comes out MUCH worse. If we are talking bad business deals or bankruptcies vs. her multitude of scandals that involve federal law breaking, I can guarantee you Trump will come out better.
Trump has the cross over capability that Cruz will never have. Cruz will be stuck battling for the same swing states as always, and it will be difficult with the televangelist ad playing every day in Ohio or Florida. It will freak people out.
Plus, Trump's bad stuff (a lot of it) has been out in the news for decades. He is still successful. He still has great kids. He still has employees who love him. He still has good relationships with his ex-wives. Proves he can do what he says.
Cruz just has a few years in a Senate seat and that's about it. With a wife in banking, it also brings up questions. Additionally, just did the research last night...Cruz barely has ANY endorsements. Trump has a mega list of them you can find on Wikipedia. From all walks of life...political, business, entertainment, local and state politicians. Why is that? Why will no one stand up for Cruz? Where are the Tea Party people in Congress? Just saying...it is oddly quiet.

Mr. I-Won't-Compromise would never be able to get anyone confirmed. Unfortunately, you do need to be able to compromise, make deals as it were, if you want to get anything done.

Heidi Cruz's resume:
2003 - worked for Bush administration on economic policy, then with Condoleeza Rice on the National Security Council
2005 Joined Goldman Sachs
Now, some folks might think that going from working in the government on economics over to Goldman Sachs might be a standard Beltway Insider move. If she was not Cruz's wife, you'd probably think that too. And it gives her a nice pool of folks to call for donations to his campaign, which is what she is doing with her time off.

Why not meet in the Cave Of Evil? TheLair Of Doom? The Grotto Of The Damned? Were there sharks in the swimming pool? Piranha, maybe? A phalanx of black-garbed ninja henchmen? A sultry femme fatale smoking an ivory-filtered cigarette on the balcony?
No,the High Illustrious Poobahs of the GOP Establishmentweren't meeting to stop Trump or Cruz. They were meeting to stop us, you and me, the bitterly clinging, flyover countryhoi-polloi. I'm betting they're plotting a brokered convention. They desperatelydon't want either Trump or Cruz and the only way to stop Trump or Cruz from happening is to keep Rubio and Kasich in the game--which is why, beyond all reason, Rubio and Kasich are still in the game.

Trump isn't a street fighter. He's a runaway Mack Truck. He's clumsy and doesn't know when to shut up. His attacks on Hillary will be personal and will likely offend many women on both sides of the aisle. He risks alienating the very people he needs support from.
Cruz, on the other hand, is a street fighter and has argued cases in the Supreme Court. He's able to cut to the bone with policy, job performance and moral character attacks. Hillary is an easy target for that. Cruz can destroy her without pissing off half the country with comments about her bleeding sniz or his dick size.

I hope Trump takes FL from Rubio. I still think Trump will win the nom. It'll just take a bit more time than was originally speculated.
And if it comes down to a brokered convention, he'll win that. That's the environment he flourishes in.

But she is no fool. Neither is Trump. It would devolve into a pair of pigs in the mud once it did start, and they both know it.
Cruz would have more on her than she would on him if it got down to it, so I don't see her risking bringing up too much until she gets desparate.

Who says his wife has to be barefoot and pregnant?
So evangelicals won't have a problem with a wife that works at a high profile financial company and has nannies and such to care for her children? Yeah, it's unfair but that is what Cruz considers his base. In fact, every time I see him on the political shows, all he talks about are conservatives and evangelicals. That may be a nice base. It was for Santorum and Huckabee. But it is not enough to win the general election.

disclosure forms, they were left off one form. So you want only

You are responding as if these were MY feelings about Cruz. I was merely telling you what voters are talking about in the Republican party and how that might affect the national elections if it were Cruz/Hillary. These will be difficult issues for Cruz to overcome b/c he doesn't have the crossover appeal like Trump.
Look, if Trump loses some hyper conservatives in some Red State, he can still win the Red State in the fall. However, he can also possibly win NJ, NY, OH, MI, PA, etc....states that Cruz could NEVER win. Cruz winning MORE Republican votes in states that already vote Republican is not going to help Cruz win in the fall. He will need to win FL, OH, etc. the swing states. And Cruz's plan is to motivate MORE Republicans in those states to vote. This is a very narrow path to winning.
Trump's plan is to win BLUE states, and I think he can. A much surer path to win. He has a good chance to win NY. And did you see the numbers that came out for him in Massachussetts?
I am merely talking about WHY some voters may not vote for Cruz. His mountain is a lot harder to climb. Don't attack ME for the information I'm putting out there. I'm just trying to think through the different outcomes.

When, exactly, do you expect Cruz to start attacking Hillary? he surely hasn't done much of that yet. And how do you think he will get his message across? He does not have the ability to do an end run around the MSM.
Trump is flawed, I'll grant you that. But if we want the GOPe destroyed and the MSM put in their place, we are going to have to find a candidate that can do that. Ted Cruz cannot. He would be better off on the court, where he can talk and argue to his heart's content.

Trump won 300,000 votes in MA. 50% of R voters. Fantastic. Hillary and Bernie each had ~500,000.
I can do the same thing to most of your other arguments and I'm on your side. There are two things that will change minds.
1) Trump actually winning >1237 delegates
2) Some kind of turning-point moment at a debate or televised event like Marco's robot moment that will push ~5% of voters into or out of one candidates' camp.
It's a horse race now, the pundits (and us mini-pundits) have made up their minds. Let's see what the people say.

Trump is flawed, I'll grant you that. But if we want
the GOPe destroyed and the MSM put in their place, we are going to have
to find a candidate that can do that. Ted Cruz cannot. He would be
better off on the court, where he can talk and argue to his heart's
content.
Posted by: notsothoreau at March 08, 2016 12:20 PM (5HBd1)
Have you listened to Cruz? Serious question. Because he's pretty hated by the establishment, he's called McConnell a liar on the senate floor, they want to stab him for entertainment. He's shut down moderates left and right when they want to frame the narrative. He even turned a government tit-sucking ethanol farmer into a supporter for ending subsidies.
He's no pushover, I promise you. And frankly, you contradict yourself by saying he can argue in front of a court but can't handle the idiots in the media and GOPe.

============
Geez, Mike. Donald Trump's personal life has been celebrity magazine fodder for thirty years. Add in Entertainment Tonight and countless other TV-Internet daily shows and there's more out there on DT than any oppo research team can catalog.
And do you know who watches and reads all that celebrity stuff? L... I...V s. Millions of 'em.
Same thing on the business side. Countless articles in Forbes, BusinessWeek, Bloomberg and all that.
Bottom Line: Donald Trump is an open book. Voters know what they're buying, and they expect the product to work as promised once it's delivered to Washington, DC.

No, I'm saying that a loan is a loan. If we are equating loans with responsibility, then it matters only that there is no default. If we are equating loans with crony capitalism, then it matters not at all what it is that the loans are financing.

to convince Cruz supporters that he doesn't have a chance simply by
saying he doesn't have a chance.
bAMa,
See this is the problem.
I am not trying to convince anyone of anything. I am not a pure Trump guy, but I am a Trump-Cruz : Yin Yang 2016 !
guy.
I say that Cruz can't win because by himself, he is easy pickin's for the GOPe's little "Stra-Tee-Ger-EE" games. I want Cruz to finish a strong second because I think that Trump will respect that and pick him for VP.
You are welcome to believe what ever you wish. No static at all. And if you are right I will congratulate you and welcome President Cruz :

I'd consider most people here to be extremely well informed and I'd also say the vast majority had never heard of Trump University, Trump Mortgage, Trump Steaks and on and on and on until a week or so ago.

Where I come down firmly for Cruz is the general election debates. Against Clinton he would not 'bully' old grammie. With exquisite courtesy, he would point out the dreadful and ugly consequences of her decisions. DT would not have the capacity to deal with HRC -- blunt instrument and all.
I think we do ultimately expect *some* decorum and Cruz has the best weapon for the job.

"This is how I feel. To me, Cruz already has gone too far. There are certain moments in Iowa and elsewhere where he went full on televangelist. That will not play well in commercials broadcast nationwide by Clinton. She will make it appear as if he is some right-wing religious whacko. And it will work.
Not good for Ted."
The answer to that is that Ted is a constitutionalist who certainly understands the separation of Church and State.
I agree that Ted has laid on the God talk too much, but at the same time I become annoyed with people who freak out when a candidate talks about his faith at all. Are they so f'ing stupid they think Cruz wants to install a theocracy?
No, I suspect it comes down to abortion - which appears to be a Holy Sacrament for many Republicans as well as the Dems.

Donald Trump is a real American. He's tacky, obnoxious, charismatic, successful, and here to get things done whether you like his pedigree or not.
I would rather you just said thank you for the man who delivered us from Jeb Bush and schlonged Bill and Hill, and went on your way - leaving the micro-examination of the candidate's personal life alone in hopes the federal government will, karmically, do the same for you.
This focus on Trump's taxes, coming from a bunch of people whose chosen candidate is hanging his hat on abolishing the IRS, is unbecoming.
Either way, the point is keeping an avowed socialist (true believer marxist or deep-state soviet) out of the white house. The "true conservative" high ground you think you're standing on is just another establishment rampart.

Heard Beck this morning for a few minutes. His daily anti Trump discussion was interlaced with both he and his assistants asserting all these opinions about today's primaries, and stating that none of them were open.
Michigan and Mississippi are both open, in that you can vote for either party's candidates regardless of your registration.
Idaho has a closed primary, however, if someone has not had a party registration, they can vote today as an unaffiliated voter if the Republican party has opened up that option, which I'm not sure they have.
Hawaii is a caucus.
Beck is truly a misinformation machine. After this discussion, he later began talking about some story he heard in which it was told that whenever Donald Trump visited his Atlantic Casino, all of the black casino employees knew they were to leave the area where he would be located. Said he didn't know if it was true or not, but the employees believed it was true.

"No, I don't actually because I'm not interested in re-doing the War Between The States/ Civil War/War Of Northern Aggression. they only thing I loathe more here is the Protestant/Catholic slug fest."
No. It's none of these.
Abe, if alive today would be running on the donktard ticket. Abe was the one of the first to say "goober'mint aught to do something" about this or that. He had a penchant for wanting to spend other peoples money way before it became a thing.
Read some of his early writings. Don't take my word for it. He was also a virulent racist. You can find those quotes too.

Is this the part when we sing " Nearer My Abe To Thee?".
Not the part where I do it; I confuse no politician with God. I'm simply saying that I think he had a bit more humility than Trump has.
I'm done here.

Yes he was a politician. And if you understand what that means, Trump should not shock you at all.

Donald Trump is a real American. He's tacky, obnoxious, charismatic, successful, and here to get things done whether you like his pedigree or not.
and whether you like what he's going to do or not.

you like his pedigree or not.
I would rather you just said thank you for the man who delivered us
from Jeb Bush and schlonged Bill and Hill, and went on your way -
leaving the micro-examination of the candidate's personal life alone in
hopes the federal government will, karmically, do the same for you.
This focus on Trump's taxes, coming from a bunch of people whose
chosen candidate is hanging his hat on abolishing the IRS, is
unbecoming.
Either way, the point is keeping an avowed socialist (true believer
marxist or deep-state soviet) out of the white house. The "true
conservative" high ground you think you're standing on is just another
establishment rampart.

I don't want the things done that Trump would do. It is as simple as that. He loves government run healthcare. He loves crony socialism and he has admitted he will not do what he promised on immigration. Given all of that and his lack of character (which does matter Ghost for all that you get mad when we mention it), I cannot say he would be any better than a Democrat... which makes sense since he is a Democrat.

Abe is a horrible human being for being a racist.
Unlike the people he politically opposed, who enslaved the human beings Abe was racist against.

Romney is doing robo calls for BOTH Kasich and Rubio. Others already pointed out the Rubio ones, but Kasich too!
If you want anymore evidence that the GOPe is wanting a split vote and delegate count this is it. It also prove Romney is angling for the job. Rubio and Kasich are probably playing for the VP spot under Romney.
When was the last time a prominent Republican did robo calls for TWO candidates running in the GOP primary? Notice who Romney is NOT doing robo calls for...that tells you where Cruz stands with the GOPe and if it is a brokered convention.
Either the revolution against the GOPe happens now, or never will.
