From Ed O’Keefe writing at the Washington Post: Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is close to ensuring that Donald Trump cannot win the GOP nomination on a second ballot at the party’s July convention in Cleveland, scooping up scores of delegates who have pledged to vote for him instead of the front-runner if given the chance. The push by Cruz means that it is more essential than ever for Trump to clinch the nomination by winning a majority of delegates to avoid a contested and drawn-out convention fight, which Trump seems almost certain to lose. The GOP race now rests on two cliffhangers: Can Trump lock up the nomination before Cleveland? And if not, can Cruz cobble together enough delegates to win a second convention vote if Trump fails in the first? Read the rest of the story at the Washington Post.

Lyin' Cheatin' cuban Rafael teddie Cruz may not even be on the New Jersey primary ballot, read Judge Masin's decision. I posted the link because I don't know the html coding to post a pdf Read it thoroughly, and you will see why i say, Cruz may not be on the NJ R primary ballot.

Readiing is fundamental: 'I CONCLUDE that the more persuasive legal analysis is that such a child, born of a citizen- father, citizenmother, or both, is indeed a “natural born Citizen” within the contemplation of the Constitution. As such I CONCLUDE that Senator Cruz meets the Article II, Section I qualifications and is eligible to be nominated for President. His name may therefore appear on the New Jersey Republican primary ballot.'
I've read several accounts of Masin's decision and found them all less than convincing. imho, the reason for stipulating POTUS be natural born is simply the best way to ensure as much as possible that whosoever holds that office will have no higher allegiance to anything other than the good ol' US of A. But be that as it may, that's my criteria and I vote accordingly.
