Trump is giving so much cover to Cruz right now. It almost seems like a conspiracy to elect Cruz

Posted by Bacon (aka redmond) Mar 12 '16, 12:43

Cruz is terrifying and not getting any heat with the loud mouth out front taking the slings and arrows.

Other than that whole "Trump is nearing victory" thing - Will Hunting Mar 12, 12:45 34
- I think once the other two are gone it evens up. Honestly, I hope this is the case. - Bacon Mar 12, 12:47 33

    - Yup. of the next two months, Cruz probably gets Arizona and Utah, but the rest is likely to fall to Trump. -- nm - Reagen Mar 12, 13:03 1
      - this Tuesday will either be his Waterloo, or his Gateway To the Nom! -- nm - mud Mar 12, 13:06
    - In a 1-on-1 race where the candidates are Trump and NotTrump, his odds improve in those states. - ty97 Mar 12, 12:57 18

        I think best case is that, on-one-one, Cruz stops him from reaching delegate count. - ty97 Mar 12, 13:07 16

        FWIW, I've wavered for some time between "Hilary could probably beat Trump easily so this is good" and "But Trump just can't be the nominee!" -- (edited) - ty97 Mar 12, 13:13 5
        
        The other scenario is that Cruz gets the nom and gets into the White House so fuck that shit. -- nm - Bacon Mar 12, 13:15 4
        
        A Cruz general election is a more predictable and manageable fight though. There's a possible error assuming Trump can't win. -- nm - ty97 Mar 12, 13:29
        
        I was watching Cruz last night talking about Drumpf - Mel Profit Mar 12, 13:27 1
        
        Yeah, Ted strats off making some sense. - Spawn Mar 12, 14:13
        
        Then starts passing kooky far right wing legislation and getting it passed by the tea party kook wing -- nm - Bacon Mar 12, 13:15
        
        and then the Virgin Islands dude becomes a kingmaker -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 12, 13:08 8
        
        who dat? -- nm - mud Mar 12, 13:12 7
        
        I am guessing he means Rubio who won in Puerto Rico? -- nm - Bacon Mar 12, 13:14 6
        
        nope, Virgin Islands's 6 delegates have declared themselves uncommitted to either Cruz or Trump -- (link) - sweet baboo Mar 12, 13:16 4
        
        Don't 20% of GOP delegates go to Cleveland unbound? -- nm* - ty97 Mar 12, 13:33 1
        
        This article says more than 90% are bound. -- (link) - mara Mar 12, 13:37
        
        Aaah, hadn't hear that one -- nm - Bacon Mar 12, 13:17
        
        Yeah, well, I declare them OUTLAWS!!!! -- nm - Candidate Trump Mar 12, 13:17
        
        John Yob? -- (link) - mara Mar 12, 13:15
    - In this case I would be happy to be wrong. I hope so -- nm - Bacon Mar 12, 12:56
  - Given the absurdity of what he's done, I ain't saying shit about his chances in November. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 12, 12:50 1
    - it's hard to underestimate the degree to which voters at large will reject him -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 12, 12:51
  - (Some) Republicans have this fantasy that she ends up indicted over the email thing. -- nm - Reagen Mar 12, 12:50 7
    - what about some local DA arresting her, even though it would be squashed before they get to the booking station, there will be video of the perp walk -- nm - on endless loop Mar 12, 12:53 5
      - I think that would do the exact opposite of what you think. Even Bernie's folks would rally behind her -- nm - Beaker Mar 12, 13:27
      - It would have to be federal. She broke no state law. -- nm - Bacon Mar 12, 12:54 3
        
        What was the legal standing for the guy in NOLA to have a trial over the JFK assasination? - zeitgeist Mar 12, 13:03 2

        Conspiracy to murder? -- nm - Bacon Mar 12, 13:06
    - Heh, yeah keep wishing that people -- nm - Bacon Mar 12, 12:51
