FiveThirtyEight blog makes an interesting, but debatable, observation about Senator Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) prospects if he can’t outright win a number of the upcoming primaries.
He could be gone by the middle of next month.

No.
Yeah, it’s interesting when you dig around in the actual primary/caucus process and how the numbers shake out. We just attended the first of a series of GOP caucuses (caucusi ?) that launch the GE cycle for our state. Today’s was a procedural King Country process caucuses to elect the delegates to the District caucus which rolls up to the County, then State where the national delegates are chosen. The GOP, like the DNC, have superdelegates, but they only account for (I think) about 3% of the delegates, whereas the DNC’s count is large enough to push the nomination for the Dems. Unlike years past, today’s caucus did not announce candidate delegate totals. However, there were a contingent of vocal Cruz supporters at our sparsely attended precinct who looked and acted more like Sanders supporters — loud, obnoxious and looking nothing like the demographic of our neighborhood. Hmm? I asked them to please take my CELL PHONE number off their lists — they got it through their sketchy data mining. Grrrr.
If everything else was in good shape, election reform would be a very high priority for me.
seems a reasonable assumption. Somebody has to go by then, and if you cant take 1st in any of those states, you lose.
TWO POINTS
Granted, March 1 offers up 601 delegates.
Whoever will win needs a heaping portion of those.
Is it DEJA
vuCRUZ all over again regarding RUBIO dropping out?!?http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/02/breaking-allegations-cruz-cronies-are-running-robocall-stating-another-candidate-is-dropping-out/
Oh my.
Say your prayers for boom when that happens-he’ll be on a suicide watch for sure.
CofD — I just saw a “related link” here the other day — a post about Mark Levin scolding Rubio for using Alynski tactics. I think it was posted back in September. Anyone here who lived through the obama ’08 election knows how stomach-turning this sort of thing is. And when you call them out for it, they just laugh in your face. Conservative patriots? Hardly.
AA; Welcome BACK!!
I thought you’d be gone 40 days…WHEW!
Yeah…that’s the ugly face of “the real world” of politics, regardless of Party.
Power, like fame or other – ahem – enticements can really mess with people’s heads.
Well I see I’ve already been mentioned by crackhead MM but he didn’t mention his gay lover magnum. What gives could it be he is attracted to me now?
I would like Cruz to be our next Supreme Court Justice.
I sure hope that’s not true. But maybe Americans have gone so far off the rails we don’t deserve anything but the poisonous crazy.
Czar — I was trying…. One or two slips doesn’t mean the end of the ballgame, though, right? 🙂 Have to say it’s been quite nice to forego the daily Trump trashing.
math’s a bitch … & it don’t lie
…..unless you’re in an election against a demonRAT
No one talks about the burn rate vs. contributions for the candidates. Given the Cruz ground game and investment in computer modeling and robo calling, I’d say he’s going to need some wins come Super Tuesday or his campaign will run out of gas like what happened to Walker.
Why would Cruz ever get out? He won Iowa didn’t he!
I’d like to see Ted drop out, give the wounds time to heal and feelings mend, get the whole Canada thing put to rest, then come back as Trump’s VP. Or, better yet, Trump’s nominee to replace Scalia.
At this point, for me, there is no returning to an “even maybe” for Cruz. I had to do too much info gathering on him to have any respect left for him.
