Who's winning ? What's the delegate count ? What do you and Dexter think the delegate count will be on 4/27 ? C'mon give it your best shot and come up with some numbers.

That's pretty dumb on Trump's part because he should be busy courting delegates in preparation for a brokered convention. Instead, he's threatening to quit the GOP. Major failure on 'the art of the deal'.
How the h*ll do you know what Trump is doing behind the scenes ? Are you there ? In any event, a 3rd party run dooms the GOP and ANY candidate they vomit out there.

Cruz is schooling Trump on "the art of the deal" right now, by making deals with Trump delegates. He is basically outmaneuvering Trump at his own game, and making Trump look pretty clueless in the process.

Oh, still on that NY kick thinking he will pick up all 95 delegates eh? You keep forgetting its not a winner take all state. Trump has to hit 50% in each congressional district in order to sweep the delegates in each district. As long as one of Kasich or Cruz hits 20, every district where Trump fails to hit 50, costs him a third of the delegates in that district

It doesn't matter who is "winning" at any particular point in this contest any more than it matters who is winning in the middle of a football or baseball game. The only thing that matters is who wins in the end.

But if it makes you feel better to celebrate some arbitrary score counting part way through the contest, then I guess I am happy for you that it does. Hold on to that feeling, as you are going to need it for reference purposes later.

Nice to see you setting your sights so high - 20% with 3 candidates in race - what a joke as is Cruz.

...and yet Trump still can't even get 50% votes in ANY state. Cruz got over 69% in Utah. How come your boy Trump can't hit that 50% mark? Because he's the real joke. A frontrunner more people are voting against than for.

Great post. That is precisely what is happening. What's more, Trump surely knows it.

If Cruz was ahead right now, the lying Cruz clowns would let it be known that the race was over. But since Trump is kicking his arse, only the end matters.

Bad news for Cruz ... the GOP hates him. Lying fake pious idiots don't win the presidency. How could he even put his hand on the Bible come Inauguration Day ?

Do you have any numerical proof that Cruz has secured any Arizona delegates or just more from the anti-Trump MSM ? Waiting ....

I didn't think so ...
