We don't even know that Cruz would be the republican nominee. He's also quite hated in Washington. Lindsey Graham joked about killing him on the senate floor and getting away with it.
It wouldn't be enough for the House to turn blue. It'd have to turn blue in a way that rural states went for Democrats. This is like the worst tie-breaker ever.

Which is why I hope there is rioting and Washington gets burned to the ground next time the house gets to pick a president, since it overwhelmingly favors conservative voters in small states by lumping large states into single votes.
Because cons utional amendments are so easy to pass.
It would be political suicide for the party to completely disregard its voters the way they'd be doing by nominating anyone other than Cruz or Trump. If they do that the Republican party is done as we know it.
Or it could cause civil war and end the cons ution.
That's why the College is still around. If you had a brokered election in the modern era, you'd have enough unhappy people to get that 66 percent of Congress and 75 percent of states.
Tell that to John Kasich.
I think Kasich is only in the game to try to keep Trump from getting 50% in New York, which would be a slam dunk for Trump if Cruz was his only compe ion. The Republicans are much better off running Cruz than Trump since Cruz isn't going to motivate minority voters to show up nearly as much as Trump will. A Cruz nomination gives them a much better chance of retaining control of the senate.Tell that to John Kasich.
It's not about getting 50% in New York to sweep delegates. It's about getting 50% in each congressional district to sweep the delegates. Otherwise he splits delegates in each district to get the guy getting second.
He's running aggressive attack ads against Cruz in New York. I sincerely doubt he's in the race to just take one for the team. He's hoping for a brokered convention that he emerges from knowing both Trump and Cruz are disliked by the establishment.
I guess you don't know what a communist state is.
There's a definite chance, mostly because the pro-EU camp is spear-headed by the toothless Cameron, and the fear tactics of the anti-EU camp seemingly work on the closet racists in the country who see the question as nothing more than 'immigrants or no immigrants.'
I'd rather it didn't happen honestly, leaves Britain as nothing more than a right wing libertarian free-market play thing.
lmao is m>s still hanging around here under his troll handles? Pathetic tbh imo fwiw
Bernie is holding a massive rally here in the Bronx. Holy , it's mother ing huge. Looks like a sea of ants.
If he could get his rally people to actually vote, he'd win everything. These people just like to show up to his speeches and not vote..or cant.
I've met a handful of people who like and go to his rallies that aren't even American Citizens. LOL
Can we all agree politicians are selfish dipsticks with zero genuine concern for John and Suzie Citizen?
I don't doubt Bernie's sincerity.
I agree that Bern out of all of them seems to be sincere.
He certainly brings up topics that the sell outs cringe to.
Like how the 1% phucks the 99.
....and that is the main difference between Trump and Bern.....Bern talks the talk and walks the walk.....everything he says he will work for....Trump? Who knows? While its good that he isn't taking big money donations and isn't bound to any special interest, politically, he's the wildcard....
Here's kind of cheating Bernie is succeeding against.

Hot on the heels of the Republican situation in Colorado where Trump got more votes but Cruz took the state, we’re now learning that the Democratic establishment made some “mistakes” there as well.
The party establishment took one of Bernie’s delegates and sent it to Hillary.
They later called the Clinton campaign to advise them of the situation. They never called the Sanders campaign. He learned about it from a reporter. Ana Kasparian, John Iadarola (ThinkTank), and Jimmy Dore, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Bernie Sanders easily won the Colorado caucus in March, but a mistake made by the Democratic Party awarded the Vermont senator one less delegate than he actually earned – and the party didn’t bother telling the Sanders campaign about the error...
Originally, it was projected that
Sanders – who won the Democratic caucus against Hillary Clinton by a tally of 60 percent to 40 percent – would earn 38 delegates compared to Clinton’s 28.
After tallying Clinton’s support from 10 Colorado superdelegates, the former secretary of state tied Sanders 38-38 in delegates.
If she won the support of the last two state superdelegates, Clinton could have actually won Colorado despite losing the primary vote by 20 points…
The counting error
The only people it did inform were in the Clinton camp.
The website featuring party results still shows the old, incorrect tallies from Denver County.”*

e Lee.
Less than a month ago he was eating Hillary's .
I'll be in town for something else but wanted to check out the rally Sunday at Prospect Park. Hope I'll even be able to get in with the looks of this rally.
The large majority of them vote. If there's something you can undoubtedly say it's that Bernie supporters are much more passionate than Shillary supporters. They're the same people that waited in line 6 hours in Arizona to vote for him. He does pretty well in day of voting, even in states he loses. Shillary has countered that by hitting up nursing homes and duping the low information senior citizens into early voting for her tbh.
