I would love to see him denied a win tonight. He scares me the most of the GOP field even more than The Donald.

(7,107 posts)Most here are focused on Trump because of the media but Cruz is the worst candidate.
I want Cruz to lose and lose and lose.

(10,275 posts)Teach himself how to not appear that way in Public. His Ohio win is a bad thing.

(1,035 posts)Ever since his former college roommate tweeted about him hanging out by the women's showers in his dorm, creepy is the one word I keep coming back to about him.

(43,219 posts)As long as neither runs the table, we get chaos at the GOP convention. And most likely a butthurt Trump causing problems if he's not the nominee (and he won't be, and neither will Cruz).
Advantage: Democrats.

(1,035 posts)The last brokered convention was in 1952 - not so terribly long ago. It was certainly not in my lifetime and, ahem, I am in late middle age. That's true for the biggest chunk of the electorate too. I wonder if it could get uglier than the 1992 Republican Convention. The inmates at that one were so busy slinging monkey poo at each other that Saint Ronnie didn't come on stage until most of the East Coast had gone to bed. Ah, memories.

(10,164 posts)Watching his speech now. Despicable positions aside, why can't he find a suit that fits properly? And why is his chin so red and shiny and taut? Why does his mere appearance make me want to punch him? And why does he keep bringing up how much he supports Israel?
TheOther95Percent
(1,035 posts)Cruz is a fundamentalist who believes that the Messiah will return when all the Jews return to Israel. Ergo, Israel must exist for the Jewish diaspora to end and for the Second Coming to occur.
I'm sure he's ill-fitting suits are aimed at voters who think looking good in a suit is a sign of elitism.

I did notice that in both his and Rubio speeches tonight they were heavy on the small government, no epa regulations on small business crap. The GOP may be gaining back control of the rodeo.

(7,476 posts)In a two man race between Cruz and Trump Cruz could run the table and end up with the nomination. It's still possible in a three way race. I'm anxious to see some polls showing how well Cruz does in a three way.
A Cruz presidency would be far far worse than a Trump one.

(1,035 posts)The NYT website lists Jackson Cty and St Louis Cty with precincts left to report.
http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/missouri
I found this unofficial results summary on the Jackson Cty Election Board website reporting results for 137 of 139 precincts.
Cruz didn't make up much ground here.

St Louis Cty doesn't post live results.
Updates on the hour and half hour.
