Why not start working on the cruz campaign NOW, while there's still time to mount a Cruz offensive against Hillary. Toss out your Trump signs and Trump baseball hats, and Refuse to Lose with Cruz!

Cruz is probably the most hated politician in American history. He's hated by BOTH sides of the aisle. No way that's working. The republicans would be better off promoting Elmer Fudd as their candidate.

Cruz CAN defeat her, if we get to work now. If we wait unitl after the convention, it will be too late, and we will get four years (most likely eight) of Hillary.

Correction - certain elements within the GOP are going to try to shaft Trump at the convention. And they will probably not be successful. Cruz is not the answer. Borrowing from Freud, Trump is the id (primitive impulse) and Cruz is the ego (moderates between the id and the outside world).
Like the id, the ego seeks pleasure (i.e. tension reduction) and avoids pain, but unlike the id the ego is concerned with devising a realistic strategy to obtain pleasure. The ego has no concept of right or wrong; something is good simply if it achieves its end of satisfying without causing harm to itself or to the id.
Sadly, neither Trump nor Cruz have a superego.
The superego's function is to control the id's impulses, especially those which society forbids, such as sex and aggression. It also has the function of persuading the ego to turn to moralistic goals rather than simply realistic ones and to strive for perfection.
Cruz is just a more polished version of Trump. They both are batshit crazy and they both only operate in their own self interest. Cruz just does a better job at pretending to be be somewhat normal.

This is why Cruz's instinct was to praise Trump. He was too smart and cunning for his own good though. Lyin Ted and his ugly wife went down hard.

1) Cruz is, as you say, hated. He needs a serious, ong term PR campaing. 'Get to Know Ted!'
2)The Dems control the media, except for FOX, whic Trump has rendered impotent.
3)Hillary is married to Bill, perhaps the most universally beloved President in US history.
So the advantage goes to Hillary - we need to start fighting NOW to get Ted into the White House.

If the Dems win this election, Gerry will be insufferable. He will taunt, tease, provoke, torment neocons until they are forced off this forum.
The only poster who ever had the potential to take Gerry on and win was eesh, and eesh unfortunately is gone. Even if he were here, he was a Democrat, and would probably join Gerry in destroying the Trumpsters.
So, get behind Cruz right now, or accept the fact that this forum is about to become Gerry's empire.

Hillary will murder him in any debate. I mean, humiliate him. He'll say something dumb, and Hillary will start chewing his ass off, while he stands there like a deer in the headlights, sweating, fidgeting, gasping for breath, holding back the tears. If we get really lucky, he may even wet his freakin' pants! No, that would be the ned, not jsut of the campaign, but the GOP as a viable party.

It's true, pretty boy little Marco Rubio the robot would get torn up in a one on one debate.

Loving that image! I don't like Rubio, but I've seen him think on his feet before. Personally, I think all of these 'anyone but Trump' efforts will be futile. I'm really looking forward to watching Hillary tear Trump limb from limb. It will be ugly, but it will be glorious.
