We just saw that an avowed socialist who came out of left field (no pun intended) was able to gain a tie in a state with a good number of conservatives and evangelicals.  And not just tie any candidate.   An opponent who arguably represents the most powerful political force going.  And who ordinarily would have been a shoo-in in Iowa when opposed by a socialist.
I wouldn't think that bodes well for having Hillary Clinton as the nominee.

And then we get back to Sanders.  Will an avowed socialist be able to win a general election in this country at this time?  Not likely.

You couple that with the fact that neither party has won a 3rd consecutive term in the White House since Roosevelt,  and I don't think the democrat prospects are that good.
That's my impartial unbiased assessment at this point because,  since I couldn't care less who wins,  how could I be partial.

Wait to see what happens in NH and SC before we declare Cruz the nominee.

What would you expect from Progressives attempt to pick what is best for Republicans.

Keep in mind who constitutes the majority of voters.  Please recall what the architect of Obamacare said about those who support the plan.  He is RIGHT!

In case you are wondering, and I know you are waiting with bated breath!  I'm the only vote for Ted Cruz.

Should be fun to watch.  lol

As you know, Trump gave an excellent, gracious speech.

This is one time your use of the phrase "as you know" actually does apply.
Yes,  he really surprised me with that speech.  Almost to the point of shocking me.  Never would have predicted it.

And after I make a ham sandwich I'll tell you why I think it was significant.

[i]And on the subject of Bernie Sanders.  He's a democratic socialist.  So was FDR, despite his elite origins.  Our country needs someone who represents the majority and who understands how to get back to our democratic values.  Bernie Sanders is that candidate.

Senator Cruz is dedicated to conservatism in its most radical form both socially and politically . . . . . this, in my mind is a form of domestic radical jihad ism.  He is a fervent right wing dingbat . . . . . . . either Bernie or HRC will pound him in my humble opinion. For your other points I concur but for this worm to become the GOP standard bearer I cannot wait.
