Neither candidate stand a chance at being nominated. Yet they are going to war with each other like the race is theirs for the taking.

The Super PAC behind Kasich just released this advert. At the same time, Ted Cruz is trying to get Kasich taken off the Montana ballot. Says he doesn't qualify. Odd for a Canadian to tell an American that he doesn't qualify for an election.

Even if they don't have a chance , they have to act like they do.
It's just like with Jeb Bush or Rubio at the end of their campaigns.
They had to come out and say how they were the best choice for President , even though everyone knew they had no chance at that point.

Yeah, it's kind of sad..but they also signed up for this knowing it wasn't a sure thing they would win.

Cruz does. Its improbable but not impossible, especially with Trump unraveling right before our eyes. When he loses WI on Tuesday and gets hammered with another 2-3 weeks of negative press as he says more stupid things and contradicts himself, its going to be a whole new ballgame

Kasich is right. Cruz has no Senate record except shutting down the government. Too bad Kasich didn't say it at one of the debates when they were all going after Rubio for pretty much the same thing. Kasich and Trump are do-ers. Cruz is a talker. He criticizes the do-ers when he isn't lying, cheating and copycatting.

Was just watching Fox News Sunday where "the panel" was all atwitter over Hillary Clinton's legal troubles and Trump's Trump U legal issue but ZERO mention of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) investigation into the $500,000 that went from the Cruz campaign to the Fiorina campaign.

I actually used to like Cruz but his evangelical preacher performance started to wear on me. Then after what happened to Carson - I just couldn't trust the guy.

Cruz is like a cross between a slimy lawyer and a preaching televangelist.

Once again, it did not go from Cruz'z campaign to Fiorina's. A SuperPAC that supports Cruz also gave her money. SuperPACs are allowed to support more than one candidate and the candidates, by law, are not supposed to make any decisions about what SuperPACs do or don't do. Cruz is not being discussed in reference to this because it has nothing to do with him.

Yup , the problem is that a lot of people can't see through his BS, or he wouldn't have the support he has now.

I can see why people wouldn't be turned off by Trump..but he has built many businesses ...and yes has had some business bankruptcies..but he still employs tens of thousands of people.

That's a major accomplishment I feel.
