But would any of them make a good president? But the Republican Party has to try something.
In the past week or so, part of the Republican establishment has signaled that it would prefer Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner, to Cruz, his top primary rival.
Cruz, who frequently shows voters how well-versed he is in pop culture from the 1980s and ’90s, then broke into another trademark accent – this time mimicking an old commercial for Chrysler.

The CBS News Battleground Tracker on-line poll shows Sanders with a one-point lead over Clinton with a week to go until the caucuses, 47 to 46 percent.
Cruz’s reluctance to bash his opponent too directly reflects the delicate balance both he and Trump are trying to strike. After all, to be the nominee, you actually have to win states. Bush is the best of the rest because he remains the best-positioned candidate of the second-tier choices to emerge in the lengthy primary fight.

After appearing to have been told that the protester was not wearing one of those hats, Trump continued: “And he never will. And he never will. And that’s OK, but you know we’ve got to do something folks cause it’s not working”.
