(3,473 posts)It would be a brokered convention at that point and theoretically anyone can get the nomination.

(1,000 posts)If even a small number of Cruz voters switch to Trump, that'll put him over the top. Kasich couldn't even beat Rubio in AZ after Rubio dropped out of the race.

(12,629 posts)I am a breast cancer survivor, and more than one of my online friends had husbands who walked out on them because "They weren't complete women anymore." They don't register on my scale of real men.
Having said that...I think Edwards was even more of an asshole for "staying".

(13,776 posts)With a sprinkling of vomit, because of said picture.
But really, I just can't imagine the horror of letting Ted Cruz even, like... ew. I just can't. Who could find that appealing? Everyone--EVERYONE--hates him. Except, apparently, five women. How did this happen? I mean, I'm genuinely curious about the logistics and the poor decision-making skills and everything. It's not as though five separate women could have been swept off their feet by TED FRICKIN CRUZ.

March 23, 2016
Sen. Ted Cruz took a break from quoting his favorite movie The Princess Bride on Wednesday to lift a line from another classic, The American President. Whether or not the Texas senator was aware, his retort to Donald Trump's recent attacks on his wife was almost identical to that of President Andrew Shepherd (Michael Douglas), who hits back against his prime political foe in defense of love interest Sydney Ellen Wade:

(39,961 posts)But I have to be honest, here.
There isn't a fiber of Ted Cruz's body that I don't despise.
I know I'm horrible for ill-wishing, but if he dies, I hope it is painful.
I hope my own soul heals for feeling like that, but he is in a category of evil all by itself.

(15,675 posts)I honestly love it when sanctimonious religious jerks get hoist on their own petard so if this is true, my level of joy will be second only to when I heard Scalia had died.
I have a hard time believing this is true just because... y'know... gross.
But Trump did issue the threat about spilling the beans, and if anyone could find this stuff out, it's someone with a lot of money.

(4,451 posts)Some people on Twitter are saying Ted can get out of this and come out on Top since Clinton did. Well... NO clinton really never got out of it and CRUZ is NOT liked or loved like Clinton was and is.
