Briefly, two matters in the
Republican Nomination race over the week that I think are not getting enough
attention:
1. Ted Cruz not only had a good Super
Saturday handily winning Kansas and Maine and more delegates than Trump, he is
now well within 100 delegates of Trump.
The count as I type this is Trump 384- Cruz 300. And Trump has less than half of the
delegates awarded so far.
Yes, Trump appears to be on
the verge of winning Michigan and Florida. But all the media noise early last week that Trump had it
all sown up was mistaken.
Yes. Shocking, I know.
I could mention other
positive indicators for Cruz, such as his doing much better in the Louisiana
Election Day vote than in the early vote.
But moving along . . .
2. The media is missing how much
Trump offended voters with his conduct during the latest Republican debate
Thursday night.
Trump crossed the line when
he repeated taunted Rubio as “Little Marco” and Cruz as “Lying Ted.”
Take myself as a
barometer. I do not like nor trust
Marco Rubio and probably would vote 3rd Party if he somehow got the
nomination. But when Trump did his
“Little Marco” act, I was greatly offended.
I don't like Rubio. But this "Little Marco" stuff from Trump is garbage. #FoxDebate— WannabeAnglican (@WannabeAnglican) March 4, 2016
And when he repeatedly
mouthed “Lying Ted,” I went incandescent.
Moreover, I went from probably voting for Trump in November if he got
the nomination to being very doubtful.
By his classless conduct, I
think Trump alienated and is alienating too many of those who might otherwise
vote for him.
By the way, Saturday proved
me right about what I said during the debate.
Ted Cruz just nailed fraud Trump but good. Bet he gains on Trump after tonight. #GOPDebate— WannabeAnglican (@WannabeAnglican) March 4, 2016
And so he did. We shall see if he can overtake
Trump. Do not be too sure he
cannot.
