The campaign speech Trump should make now that Cruz is eliminated

After his smashing victory in New York knocked Ted Cruz out of the race, Donald Trump is the only Republican candidate who can still get the 1,237 delegates needed to be nominated on the first ballot by the Republicans.

Getting brutally honest, this is what Trump should say at his next big rally.

“Thank you, thank you I love all of you people and I’m so grateful for your support. We are a movement – did you see that Time Magazine called us a movement? And our movement is aimed at restoring America to her former greatness – making America great again.

“To do this we need to lock down the nomination so we can start beating Hillary Clinton like a lying old mule; but we can’t start yet until we nail down this nomination. How do we do this? You need to go out and vote; get all you friends and family to vote and remind those who want to vote for Ted Cruz or John Kasich that a vote for either of them is a vote for Mitt Romney.

Although Romney is back to hiding now, he’s still pulling the strings of the Republican Party establishment. Romney wants them to do enough to deliver him a contested convention so he can run and lose again.

“The Republican establishment doesn’t want to win with Trump. No, they would rather lose than win with Trump and they’ve said so many times. So this race is now a contest between Trump the winner and Romney the loser. Isn’t the choice obvious folks?”

“Forget Cruz and forget Kasich...

A vote for Cruz or Kasich is a vote for a “contested convention”. Cruz people believe that he can manipulate the process enough to get the nomination on a later vote. I doubt whether this is possible; I think that it is likely that his belief has been reinforced by the party elite who feel they will be able to manipulate the convention enough to get whoever it is they really want in place... probably Ryan. Whoever it is would lose, but they are OK with that as long as they get to keep their positions.

Cruz is crashing in the polls now. What happens to his momentum after he loses the next 6 contests, often placing 3rd?
He is done.

If Cruz destroys the Party at the Convention then loses to Hillary, he is finished politically - BUT if he quits, he has a bright future.

Yes, Cruz is a narcissistic jerk - and exactly why he will likely quit before Cleveland. Narcissists don't often commit suicide.

I'm going on record as predicting CRUZ QUITS BEFORE CLEVELAND in a magnanimous gesture to save the Party gaining future leverage & goodwill.

Does narcissistic Cruz at age 45 seem like the kind of man to destroy his career just to stop a man with whom he largely agrees on policy?
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) April 15, 2016

People say Cruz will stay in to the end out of ambition - but political suicide is not ambitious. Being the guy who "savedthe Party" is.

Cruz going to Cleveland would be the equivalent of a Kamikaze pilot diving into an enemy ship. Bad for the boat, worse for the pilot.

When Ted Cruz runs for the Senate in 2018

He will be amazed how much money is raised to defeat him in the GOP primary.

The good thing about the split in the conservative movement, is that after the election we will know which bloggers are best ignored.

Love the Bill Mitchell quotes. Thank you!

I couldn’t care less about Ted, but I hope we can primary Cornyn. He’s a GOPe tool.

Thanks for the link! Just listened to it! It really is happy making to hear an optimist of his caliber explain his vision of who we are and what we shall be because of who we are.
