Is it a Cruz ad or a SuperPAC ad?

Candidates aren’t supposed to coordinate with SuperPACs.

Regardless, this campaign for me is about the five non-negotiables and religious liberty. The only interest I have in the other stuff is electability because it seems so terribly important to a lot of others, unfortunately.
I don’t beleive the candidates don’t talk to their super PACs.

Cruz should use this picture of Melania and his own children during one of the debates if he’s tasteful.

Well, this took an ugly turn tonight. Trump tweeted this threat to Cruz: "Lyin’ Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a G.Q. shoot in his ad. Be careful, Lyin’ Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!,"
I think took an ugly turn tonight is debatable: those who see him as “Teflon Don” probably wouldn’t regard that as a ugly turn.
 
Absolutely amazing.
Cruz wants to ‘patrol and “secure”’ Muslim neighborhoods in the US, which is supposedly built on the Constitution.
And the hot topic on this thread is cat fight between the wives.
Lord have mercy.
People don’t seem to want to discuss the issues.

I heard Cruz say this and wonder what exactly he has in mind. I thought he was quite effective at AIPAC, pushing all the right buttons regarding Israel and Jewish voters and implicitly his Evangelical base as well, plus, as Hillary has done, showing concern and alarm about the sincerity of Trump’s support of Israel due to the latter’s recent remarks. However, neither Cruz nor Clinton seems to be much of a peacemaker based on their status-quo, avoidance of third-rail comments, as well as Clinton’s prior actions, while Trump’s own comments at least give the impression that establishing peace between the Israelis and Palestinians would be one of his top priorities and greatest achievements in the art of the deal. I am not a supporter of any of these three candidates, however.
 
Why did Cruz think it a good idea to go after Melania?

Trump tweet:

Lyin’ Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a G.Q. shoot in his ad.
Lying? I thought that she really did pose for those photos. What is the lie? But to answer the point above about Cruz’s wife, Cruz’s wife and his role as a husband should be fair game as an indicator of his character.
 
Crunching some numbers from Wikipedia, I see that Cruz has 465 delegates. It also looks like there are currently 811 delegates yet to come in upcoming primaries.

If Cruz wins all of them, he ends up with 1276 delegates—which is 39 delegates more than the 1237 needed to secure the nomination.

Now if, say, he loses Wisconsin in two weeks, he loses out on 42 delegates. Wouldn’t this mathematically eliminate him from winning the nomination outright?

Am I correct with the math? Is Wisconsin do-or-die for Cruz?

Cruz wants to militarize Muslim neighborhoods, and Trump is now officially on record saying we WILL torture…
And we’re like, “oh, who cares, did’ya see how hot Trumps wife looked in that dress?” “And can you believe what Cruz’s wife said?”

This nation is in BIG trouble. :cool:

You’re correct with the math, but I don’t think you’re right to conclude that Wisconsin is do-or-die for Cruz. Possibly you’ve been hearing stuff like “If there’s a contested convention, then they should give the nomination to Donald Trump automatically” (it is hard *not *to hear that, given how often it is said on mainstream media). However that is based on two assumptions, both of which are false:
  • That Trump will have a plurality on the first ballot
  • That whoever has a plurality on the first ballot should automatically get the nomination

Thanks for being an eminent presence on this forum to ensure the quality of our discussion.

Lord have mercy on the rest of us, indeed!

According to you abortion is not a serious issue. People attacking trump’s wife is not a serious issue but trump dissing the media on twitter apparently is.

Too much double standard!
 
Do Cruz supporters have no problem with this guy?

thegatewaypundit.com/2016/03/new-crazy-beck-video-all-throughout-the-south-the-evangelicals-have-not-been-listening-to-their-god/

Same guy who said if he got close enough to Trump, the stabbing just wouldn’t stop???
If you don’t like Glenn Beck nor support Ted Cruz, that is your prerogative, but please don’t spread this lie. Glenn Beck was clearly joking with his producer, Stu, who he said that if he was closer to Stu, the stabbing wouldn’t stop. He was joking, because Stu had been giving him grief (which he does daily). He was NOT talking about stabbing Donald Trump. At all.

So please don’t repeat this lie.
 
From the article"
The days of the United States voluntarily surrendering to the enemy to show how progressive and enlightened we can be are at an end. Our country is at stake.

:confused: What days were those? I do not remember us surrendering to ISIS. I don’t think he thought his statement through, or maybe be has some strange view of reality. Maybe he doesn’t know who the enemy is. 🤷

Maybe he will clarify this statement when he realizes how odd it is.
I don’t think it odd at all. It’s clear that we have bent over backwards ignoring the reality of how mainstream radical Islam is. People thought something was amiss with the San Bernardino terrorists, but didn’t say anything because they didn’t want to be thought of as bigoted or some other label.

So the FBI clearly misunderstood Glenn Beck.

The ad tells people to vote for cruz if they don’t want to see Melania as First Lady, and you expect me to believe it has nothing to do with cruz?
He’s the only one left to vote for in the GOP primary. Granted Kasich is still there, but he’s simply, laughably not viable and just embarrassing himself at this point.
 
Yes. Quite obviously. That’s why such deliberate misinformation shouldn’t be spread around, especially on a Catholic message board. It’s a intentional attempt to damage Beck’s reputation based on a falsehood.
Did you even read the context of what Beck said? You give him that much benefit of doubt? Even if you choose to do so, you can’t say others are lying because it’s highly plausible he’s talking about stabbing trump.

Donald Trump has 739, so he needs 498 more delegates to win the nomination outright. If Cruz can win 314 more delegates, Mr. Trump cannot win on the first ballot. So then it goes to a brokered convention and things are up in the air. If Cruz can make a big run, and win even more, he will look much stronger as a candidate going into the convention.
