Trump isn't falling short because of Ted Cruz's success, its because of unbound delegates and abstain votes by delegates.

You are trying to say that Trump not getting these unbound delegates is some kind of legitimate function of the system. When in reality, we have never NOT had a nominee called by May/June.

The optional delegates are fucking him. Period. "rules and system" my ass, they didn't "rule and system" for George W Bush, or GHWB, or anyone in the last few decades. Its almost May, no nominee? That's a fuck job by the system.

Your wrong... Since the inception of the Republican Party there has been 10 contested conventions where the delegate leader didn't win the nominee on the 1st ballot. 1976 was the last one, Ford didn't have enough delegates and that went to convention. 1948 same thing and so on.

I kind of see both sides of this. He's getting fucked by the Republican Party, but the Republican Party is a self-preserving entity that knows he's a down-ticket boat anchor in the general.

Trump clearly has a better chance to win against Hillary than Cruz, but there is a chance he might slow down the current pillaging of America by our bankers, which is why they are doing everything they can to stop him.

Also contested conventions ARE GOOD. It means the power brokers in the party are losing POWER. Whether or not you like Cruz is irrelevant, he is not an establishment politician despite what FIXED NEWS says. Cruz was anti-establishment while Trump was still writing checks to clinton. If you actually looked into the truth maybe you'd figure that out but Trump voters can't seem to find the truth let alone grasp it.

Either of them would get smoked, Trump probably by considerably more. Their unfavorable ratings are way too high.

Hillary getting indicted - that's the only scenario I see either of these guys winning the election. Or they go Kasich or some other candidate at the Republican convention.

Polls do not support your opinion.

To be fair Cruz is getting more support than I thought, but I think Trump would be actually favored against Hillary as he frequently outperforms his poll numbers and would probably soften some of his more outrageous positions for the general election.

Shaft, is it? Cruz has a lot to say about shafts.

Slimey Ted argued against Constitutionality of dildos, masturbation.

Back in 2004, Ted Cruz's solicitor general office fought to defend a ruling in Texas that found selling sex toys was not protected by the Constitution. In his brief, Cruz's office defended the obscenity law by saying that "any alleged right associated with obscene devices" is not "deeply rooted in the nation's history and traditions."

Then came the real whammy. The brief went even further, asserting that, "There is no substantive-due-process right to stimulate one's genitals for non-medical purposes unrelated to procreation or outside of an interpersonal relationship." In other words, as Mother Jones explains, Cruz effectively argued that "the pursuit of such happiness had no constitutional standing."

Despite such a strong Christian stance, his former roommate easily refutes Ted's self-professed piety. Lyin' Ted lies again. Sad!

No chance. Trump is doom for the Republican Party. Cruz is pretty hateable as well, but at least Republicans would see him as an actual conservative choice.

RealClearPolitics' polling averages show Trump as the worst matchup of the three (at this point):
