I thought about this more. Cruz should drop out. I think Andy is right about about Cruz dropping out. The only way that Cruz can win at this point is through a contested primary.

Does Cruz think that the populist Trump supporters will support him if he wins a contested primary? If he does, I think this is wishful thinking - especially given his weakness in the northeastern United States. Many Trump supporters will sit home. They will say that Trump was robbed. Trump would say it was unfair and he was robbed. And I don't see Trump-Cruz detente happening any time soon. But I think Trump's third party run threat is a bluff.

I know Cruz is very much wants to be president. And I realize that Abraham Lincoln won a contested primary. Yet, I don't think Trump supporters would rally behind Cruz if Trump lost.

Do I think Cruz will drop out? Very unlikely. He is very persistent. Kasich will not drop out either. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 03:01, 22 April 2016 (EDT)
