I would say that Cruz would be angling to do a drop-for-favors deal, but what the gently caress does he have to offer at this point

how many of the super tuesday states are gonna have everybody's stupid name on the ballot like nevada apparently did? nevertheless, if ted and the rest could get something nice on the negotiating table and step aside so sleepy time marco can have his shot in a one-on-one super tuesday i think that'd be the most interesting way to go about it. if more than one of these people tries to show up it'll just be sad CubsWoo posted:I would say that Cruz would be angling to do a drop-for-favors deal, but what the gently caress does he have to offer at this point he could, like, not burn the gop down at every possible turn as a senator. he could promise to just shut the gently caress up and do what mcconnell tells him once. nobody would believe him though really though him dropping out, assuming kasich and carson go too, would make it hard for rubio not to get the 1 consolation delegate the second-best finisher in texas' congressional districts get (if the leader doesn't take >50%, or whatever), and i think other states have similar rules. so cruz, just by dropping out, would be giving marco something oystertoadfish has issued a correction as of 07:30 on Feb 24, 2016 |

If someone told me a decade ago that Donald loving Trump was going to be president one day, I would have laughed at them.

Ted Cruz only feels comfortable with people if they hate him or are disgusted by him, just like his father as a child. That's why he makes it happen, since it is safer and less vulnerable there, prevents rejection from hurting.

Cruz is going to win Texas and deny Rubio any delegates there. Then, having destroyed Rubio and accomplishing his mission, he will return to his home planet.

Rubio is such a goddamn lightweight that it's amazing that he's basically the Final Challenger to Donald Trump. He's going to get blown out of the water. Death By The Blues posted:Cruz is terrified of losing Texas. Pandering hard. Losing his home state would essentially doom any and all future electoral prospects for Cruz. Not surprised he's trying to stick around for at least that.

Of the ones that have been polled (and some of these are fairly old) GA: Trump +12, Trump +9 TX: Cruz +8 MA: Trump +34 MN: Rubio +2 (last poll 1/20) OK: Trump +5 (last poll 2/9) AL: Trump +20 (last poll 12/13) AR: Cruz +4 (last poll 2/4) TN: Trump +4 (last poll 11/23) CO: Carson +6 (last poll 11/15) VA: Trump +6 (last poll 2/14) AK: Trump +4 (last poll 1/12) VT: Trump +15 (last poll 2/17) Wyoming has apparently not been polled, but I would say Trump probably leads in at least 10 of the 13.

Not only has Trump won the last three states, he's outperformed the RCR polling average in all of them.

huge, huge lols at "IT DOESN'T MATTER (PLEASE, PLEASE STOP VOTING FOR HIM, PLEASE) HE'S TOOOOOTALLY IRRELEVANT" followed immediately by "well he'd have made a great third-party candidate in 2000" how can you even pretend to have a shred of integrity at that point

uniting the parts of the gop that hate donald trump is the last chance they have. and the only choice they have left is marco rubio. amazingly. i think a one on one super tuesday would be a massive trump victory but i also think other plausible scenarios would be massive trump victories we were wondering for months if polls of republicans would come true, and in the last few weeks we've seen that they pretty much have. trump won the polls and he won the elections now we wait for the denouement, before we are cursed to spend even more months watching even more polls, and wondering if they'll come true. stupid poo poo the rnc is going to be a shitshow incidentally. there'll be trump supporters and protestors wandering around who just want to make this into 1968 chicago dnc redux. i'm sure cleveland's boys in blue will keep public order efficiently and with a minimum of fuss
