Not so sure that's right, but regardless, presidents are elected by the electoral college and that doesn't favor either Trump or Cruz.
Huh? Yes, it's a convoluted system and technically, we do not directly elect a president. But over 99% of the time, electors have followed the popular vote in their states, and in some states, they are legally required to do so. This is not the same thing as a primary delegate and it's not going to be about whether electors like Trump or Cruz, if either of them is the Republican nominee, they will receive the electoral college votes in the states that they win in November.
You can find out exactly where and from whom Cruz' campaign is being financed via opensecrets.org.
If your allegation is that "Cruz ANSWERS to his donors" where is the proof? "ANSWERS" implies that, in return for donations, Cruz is required to "do the bidding" of his donors through his voting and sponsoring of legislation that favors those donors.
The only PROOF of your allegation is to look at the legislation SPONSORED by Cruz that clearly shows a pattern of "ANSWERING" to his donors by sponsoring favorable legislation and voting in support of bills favorable to his "big donors." Show me the correlation.
Well because he is so far back in delegates, yes, but remember the party still can pick him as nominee. Not sure how often this has been done in the past, but it seems like the Republican party can just pick him if he wants. Some people are speculating this. There is strong evidence of it, primarily how even conservative media is anti-Trump, but pro-Cruz.
Trump is more unelectable than Cruz. The way Bernie and Hillary stomp Trump in the polls is astonishing.
And all of the polls say the same thing. Latest Fox News poll shows Bernie beating him by a whopping 20%! How can Trump possibly win? There aren't enough angry, prejudiced, blue-collar white men out there to overcome the onslaught he will face when women and every group he has insulted come out to vote against him.

They're using him ... where were they early on when Rubio was the dream GOP candidate ?

I think you are asking, where was main stream media when Rubio was brought to stage as the GOP's top choice. I did see a big pro-Rubio a few months ago. I cannot recall a particular headline or story, but I do recall reading stuff and asking myself "who the heck is this Rubio guy and why are they giving him so much attention".
Maybe someone with a better memory can help me out. There was a brief, but obvious moment when the media was pro-Rubio.
If you are a republican, and you support Trump, if he doesn't get the nomination and you state that you will not vote, that's one thing, but to say you will actively vote Dem, to me, that pretty much indicates (taken with the user name) that the GOP is not losing a lot if LEFTEE jumps ship.
Dear, I've got news for you....
A vote is a vote is a vote is a vote. Doesn't matter if it comes from a partisan, a swing voter, an independent or Democrats in recovery. Fascinating that you might think otherwise.
Cruz lost Missouri by just a handful of votes. By your logic, it didn't really matter.
