Appearing before a receptive crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Friday, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz pushed back against the brokered Republican convention idea being floated by some party insiders as a way to stop frontrunner Donald Trump.
“If you want to beat Donald Trump, here’s how you do it: You beat Donald Trump with the voters,” Cruz said.
He went on to make an explicit pitch to the crowd that he was the only viable GOP candidate left besides Trump who can win the delegate math, and no matter who voters supported at the start of the election cycle, it was time for the anti-Trump voter to choose him.
Cruz trails Trump in the delegate count heading into Super Saturday, 329 to 231. Of the other remaining candidates, Sen. Marco Rubio has 110 and Ohio Gov. John Kasich has 25.
It takes 1,237 delegates to win the Republican nomination.
“Maybe you supported Rand Paul, or Jeb Bush or Chris Christie, or have been with Marco Rubio or John Kasich, or maybe Carly Fiorina. They are all good, honorable people – and everyone of them is a thousand times better than Hillary Clinton,” who Cruz warned is best benefited by a GOP nomination of Trump.
“As dire as thing are, people are waking up all over this country. And help is on the way,” Cruz said to wild cheers.

Ted Cruz is NOT SO MUCH THE OUTSIDER, and has ties back to Jeb Bush donors….. VOTE TRUMP !
TRUMP is America’s ONLY legitimate pathway towards putting DC government back to work and SERVING THE PEOPLE. Voters for Trump will need to make the difference.
The Common Sense American Majority has had a good start changing DC business as usual in past couple of Legislative Branch election cycles, and the last election cycle at the State Governor position. But We The People cannot rest, and must exercise our right to vote and place representatives in DC positions where they will actually do something on our behalf, and no the PC special interests and other lobbyist’s groups.
COMMON SENSE MAJORITY DESERVES COMMON SENSE GOVERNMENT – Forget the Party, vote for people will get things done on majority behalf, and be mindful of the money spent!
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN !
hey Bob, what made America great to begin with? It was our constitution of limited govt. Where is trump going to cut govt.? name just one thing.
One place is Mr. Trump will cut is all the people from all over the world coming into our Country and the taxpayer has to pay for housing, food stamps,education, etc. They are receiving more than our Military personnel who fought to keep our butts safe. If you listen, another area was EDUCATION! We have spent millions on education, but they are always wanting more. Put an end to salary increases for all the politicians and their staff and MOST OF ALL, NO MORE BACK ROOM DEALS FOR THE JERKS.
Both the Gop and the media hate Ted Cruz. The politians in DC hate Ted Cruz. Nuff said.
I was originally for Trump. He has no substance. Mike, I was only for him because of the border wall. Not sure he would do it though. Words are cheap. I’ve seen 12 year olds with more mental stability.
He just flip flopped on immigration in the debate. Now there is no reason to vote for him, but I’m sure people still will.
We are in trouble. We need someone to go beyond “Mental Stability” (whatever that is) and take a chance on fixing the mess we are in. Nobody else has had any luck at all. Just getting worse.
