    TED CRUZ +500 to be the Nominee

    This a once and a lifetime opportunity. Trump wont get the 1237 and if the RNC does not go with Cruz and the convention a majority of voters will boycott in November. Although I hate Cruz and the Republican establishment might as well try to make some money.
    Nomination(s):

    What happens if GOP puts on ballot but Trump goes Indie? Does the bet cash?

    Read the fine print. Trump will run regardless of whether Cruz is chosen by GOP or not.

    Kasich is going to screw this whole thing up for Cruz. It should be +1000.

    Can he even get on the states ballots to run INDIE? D2bets always says it will be too late.

    It will be too late to get on most ballots. Regardless, your bet should be defined as being the GOP nominee; whether Trump then runs indie is irrelevant to that.

    Ya that is what I thought. What if Trump decides to go indie in early June after the Cal primaries if he falls short of 1237 knowing that there is now way we will get the 2nd ballots votes?

    I don't think he's get on a majority of ballots. Plus, your +500 is for being nominee.

    I know running indie doesn't matter with my bet. I was just wondering if June 8 was too late for him to make that choice

    It looks like June is only too late for a few states, but a lot of deadlines in July and it's a massive effort to organize and get the signatures. Not impossible, but damn close. Post-convention in July would be impossible.

    I feel that Kasich at like +1000 is a steal. Either the GOP will give Trump the nomination (for having most delegates), or they could just say "Kasich does best in Nov", and give it to him. Cruz is that guy in between. He doesn't have as many delegates as Trump, isn't well liked, and doesn't do as well as Kasich in Nov.

    Honestly Kasich at +3000 is a gift. If he gets the GOP nomination, he will win in Nov (all the matchup polls show him destroying Clinton). Why there's a +2000 gap between him winning the GOP and becoming president...I have no idea.

    +500 might be OK for Cruz for a wagering standpoint, given he's been exposed as a Bush stooge and completely sold out.

    Jeb will be Cruz's VP and it'll be the the next term of the Bush crime family should he become President.

    We're literally back to Bush vs Clinton if he gets the nomination.

    And these fake liberals are cheering this after all their signaling.

    Disgusting.

    Something smells funny about Cruz right now. He has a certain sense of smug confidence. Almost like he has been told he gets the nom in a contested convention if he sells out.

    No doubt he's been told this, however there's a good chance that the powers screw him at a convention regardless.

    If Trump gets "screwed" out of the nomination after falling just short the Republican candidate loses most of Trump's supporters and therefore gets slaughtered in the general....Many will vote for Hillary out of spite, or a 3rd party candidate that maybe Trump joins up with or maybe even Trump runs 3rd party...Many will just give up and not vote at all. It all hurts the Republicans severely but that's what they want I guess

    But regardless.....Republicans can either roll the dice on Trump or lose the general election 100%. The Establishment is in a real tough spot

    I can't see the Repub establishment wanting Cruz either. Just about all of congress hates his tin man ass.

    I can see money pacs who hate Trump giving money to Cruz and Kasich to make them stay in the race to take
    electoral votes away from Trump so he doesn't get the 1237 and fuk Trump royally at the convention.

    Trump supporters are loyal. They will write him in, in Nov if they have to. They won't vote for Hillary or the
    Repub nominee if not Trump.

    I think Cruz is dead money personally although I could be wrong

    From what I understand, after the first round of voting at a convention, it will then open up to literally anyone

    Doubt Cruz wins the first round with Trump having such a big lead so then I think a more Establishment friendly candidate would be pushed

    Look at all of the Republican Establishment's twitters....Every time they tweet something they get bombarded by Trump fans saying exactly that pretty much

    Theyre truly clueless and another level of arrogant if they don't think so

    More likely they would rather lose to Hillary with their choice than win with Trump as sad as it is

1234 ... Last
