Texas needs to adopt a Nevada rule, where the voter has an option to choose "none of these candidates."

Remember when the Trump lovers told us he was the only guy who could pull off a win over Hillary?

Turns out, he's the only candidate who could give Texas to Hillary.

I'm not so sure his incessant attacks on Cruz aren't a part of this.

Believe it. Trump was my #2 until he went after Ted's wife and dad. Add to that the absolute viciousness of Trumpsters at TOS, that was enough for me. Trump's continued attacks on everyone not named Hillary is a head scratcher.

That's who I'm voting for.   But if Texas is in play, Trump's done.

I respect your opinion, but I won't cast my vote for him, not with Rick Wilson in his campaign.

I'll vote down ballot, but not for President.

I'd bet money that has something to do with it.  That and the fact that he's threatening to fund a Super PAC to defeat Cruz in the mid terms.  Especially since he bandied about the idea of backing Governor Good Hair as the challenger.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

I've heard that Mike McFaul is considering a run against Cruz. He may be popular in Austin and the Hill Country, but Cruz rocks North Texas and South Texas suburbs where conservatives live.

McFaul has an F rating according to Conservative Review. I've also heard Katrina Pierson may be funded by Trump, but she has lost credibility with TEA Partiers, a group that launched her into prominence. The bloom is off that rose.

Be sure to spell his name correctly: Evan McMullin

Not true, Darrell Castle of the Constitution Party has also qualified as a valid write-in candidate in Texas.

Sources: http://ballot-access.org/2016/09/05/darrell-castle-qualifies-as-a-declared-write-in-presidential-candidate-in-texas/, as well as the Constitution Party's ballot access map, here: https://www.constitutionparty.com/get-involved/election-central/ballot-access/.

I'm sure they are.

I'm waiting for a single supporter who was with Trump from the beginning admit that his conduct during the primaries was a huge mistake and a very big reason for his current predicament.

Yeah and Cruz has support in an area where the Austin/South Texas RINO's and Libs are scared to go.  West Texas.

@Night Hides Not

You means after the Cruz campaign spent weeks calling Mrs Trump a slut, morally unfit to be first lady and publishing decades old semi nude modeling pics Mrs Trump. Is that the attack you are talking about.

FYI Trump was asked a question about Cruzs' father all Trump did was answer the question honestly.

Although Melania's pictures were used in a couple of ads, I don't recall Cruz or his campaign referring to Mrs. Trump as a "slut". OTOH, Trump allowed the accusation to persist that Ted's dad worked with Oswald in the assassination of JFK. And Trumpsters like you reacted with glee to the savaging of Heidi Cruz for months.

By now, you should have learned that "Trump" and "honesty" should never be used in the same sentence.

An anti-Trump Super PAC funded the ads about Melania, not the Cruz campaign.  And it was two days, not "weeks." 

Trump is finished.  The bandwagon effect will start kicking in soon, and more undecideds and independents will be moving away from Trump. 

Trump loves women, and the women buried him.

You have a link to Cruz or anyone in his campaign calling her a slut?  I suggest you provide it now...otherwise retract that claim.

Secondly, it was an anti Cruz pro Rubio PAC that posted the pics of Mrs. Trump.  Not the Cruz campaign.

Another lie.  He pushed the narrative on social media on an appearance on Fox and Friends he asked why no one was looking into this and he has his friend who owns the National Enquirer run a front page story about it.

Trump didn't merely answer a question.  He created the entire event as a way to trash Ted Cruz.
