But wouldn't a contested convention end up being a brokered convention with rules being written as they went along?
You have to realize that Cruz is a lawyer and lawyers love to play semantics to get away with lying. Cruz has a long history of broken promises and outright betrayals. Why do you think that he has so few friends in the Senate or in life. He has a long history of turning on basically everyone. Not that this is uncommon in politics, but Ted doesn't even bother to try and dress it up. He is one scary dude if you take the time to look it up.
“Whooaaaa....help me with CruzLogic here. My analytical skills are failing.”
That is because you are probably not a lawyer. Most of us would think that “contested” and “brokered” are distinctions without a difference.
And, Cruz changed, revised, his protest after he failed to win like he thought he would.
You would think, for someone who is supposedly violently opposed to the establishment, and singularly despised by them, he would repudiate their help, or it would not be extended.
