Hey now, just because the media doesn't know what the gently caress to make of Trump doesn't mean saying poo poo like "women left their kitchens to vote for me!" isn't stupidly regressive

It was real dumb and proves that Kasich is scum, and Trump is the true moderate choice!

Maybe, but I could also see him becoming a Huckabee-type figure - one cycle with a brief, but bright flame followed by embarrassingly hanging around for cycles afterwards while attracting few voters

the problem is he doesn't have any friends. he burned all his bridges. I honestly think they may just primary his rear end if possible. huckabee is can at least put on a friendly face and pretend to be "cool". cruz cant.

either he changes his message (p-p-p-pivot) and spends the rest of the election responding to 'you said this in the primary' with 'it doesnt matter', or i guess he could just keep doing what he's doing now

i think he does the former. a lot of people here think he'll be able to talk his way out of his primary positions as easily as he's been talking his way out of the poo poo he did and said before he started his primary campaign. i kinda dont but gently caress we'll find out i guess

What's the chance all these endorsements actually drive Rubio above Trump in some of the Super Tuesday states where Trump's only leading by a few points now? Or does this make people vote Trump MORE because the big bad establishment is trying to oppress them?

Several possibilities here. If Trump gets the nomination, then the GOP is not what Cruz and Levin and all those people at the National Review think it is; it's not a bunch of small govt. tea baggers demanding constitutional conservatism and a near theocracy. Even if Trump doesn't win the Presidency, the GOP might be changed forever. And, if Trump, god forbid, were to choose Cruz as his V.P., then Cruz is given the opportunity to run again. Plus, Cruz might be primaried in 2018; if he loses then, he'd likely be done for good. The only thing for sure is that Cruz is someone that can turn himself into whatever he needs to be to survive; he will do and say whatever it takes, so I expect to see him around for a long time.

Texas politics is horrible.

cruz might be the pettiest man alive. i fully expect him to go out in a blaze of glory not even trump could top. that man is going to whine and complain and destroy everything he can, especially if the establishment is responsible. i really don't see how he'll gain any supporters for another run, unless he goes third party or something. like there's zero gracious outs for him other than getting the nomination.

The key with the endorsement rush to Rubio isn't as much about convincing voters (though it will help a bit) as it is about signalling to Kasich and Cruz that their time is up.

It weren't Kasich that done was found to have had 30 minutes alone with Cruz in a closet.

Do you seriously put it past Cruz to be a cuck? Look at his loving face.

Take a step back, guys. All of a sudden Kasich and Cruz make huge fuckups and Carson seems likely to drop out after Nevada tomorrow?

This is quickly coalescing into Trump vs Rubio for Super Tuesday, with Cruz bleeding off votes from both groups.

Trump gets more votes, apparently, from each candidate dropping out than Rubio does. It's going to be very interesting watching the establishment pressure everyone into backing out in favor of Marco Rubio and it ending up only solidifying Trump's lead into a sure victory. Wouldn't a split delegate situation be better, that way you can justifiably declare a convention deadlock and arrange it so Trump doesn't win? Having it be a two-man race means that the winner cannot be denied.
