The Survivor

[Maxwell]

I feel like Cruz would do a lot better in New Hampshire if he got 46% of the vote in Iowa, but nevertheless, interesting to see. In this situation, I'm actually routing for Ted Cruz, which scares me as a human being.

[Senator Cris]

Super Tuesday!



Republicans



"Ted Cruz swept the Super Tuesday. He won in all the states interested by a contest tonight, except Florida, the home state of Jeb Bush, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Vermont. He lost Minnesota by 134 votes but has won Colorado, North Carolina and Virginia, all considered close states. North Carolina and Virginia were considered, at the start of the primary season, states that Bush had to win to win the nomination, but he lost. Ted Cruz won his home state of Texas in a landslide and has won big in Oklahoma, Tennessee. Cruz has a big lead in the delegate count and the majority of the states that will held a primary or a caucus in March are conservative states, where Cruz is favored to win, but the northeastern states, that are the big objectives of Jeb Bush, will vote in April and California, New Jersey will vote in June. Cruz is now favored to win the nomination, but Bush campaign believe that Former Florida Governor has still good chances to win."

Frontal clash between Cruz and Bush

"Jeb Bush swept the Northeastern Tuesday and won Wisconsin. Ted Cruz won Wyoming. Now, Ted Cruz needs 219 delegates to get the Republican nomination. Bush needs 455 delegates. The Texas Senator has a lead of 236 delegates over the former Florida Governor.
The next contests are a mix of different states. May is more favorable to Cruz than June. Nebraska, West Virginia, Arkansas and Kentucky are safe for Cruz. Oregon is safe for Bush and the real close race is in Indiana.
The June states are more favorable to Bush. He is favored to win in California and New Jersey and there are close races in New Mexico, South Dakota and Montana."

This TL was planned to go at least until 2020 and maybe 2024. Also I have Rematch that is stopped at 2019 and needs to be complete with 2020.
But I have another big project in mind and considered that this TL hasn't the attention that I was expecting, I will complete 2016 and after this I will start my new TL.

[heatmaster]

Hate to say it! But Cruz in any general election scenario is toast. He represents the angry ideological brand of Republicanism and god help our party should he actually be nominated.  But it's fun to follow the story. Hopefully it will be a wake up call to Republicans on how best to lose a presidential election. Our party would have to be certifiable to nominate Cruz.
