Full title: Trump and Cruz Delegates in Tennessee To Form Grassroots Alliance, Pledge Support for Anti-Establishment Candidate
Excellent...and exactly what should happen.
See my Letter to Ted Cruz:

Good idea.
Excellent idea!
Yep, here is what all the Pundits and the DC types forget, the state delegations, not the national party bosses, will do the nominating.
The nominee will be Cruz or Trump.
I’m for it... Though I support Cruz and I’d prefer the voters of all the states to be heard, I sure as hell don’t want a mess made of the convention. Sounds like the two forces are going to join to ensure that doesn’t happen.
I know the Cruz people like to stand side by side with Trump and pretend they’re in the same position but they’re really not. Cruz is basically in the same position as Kasich. At some point he will be mathematically eliminated too and he’ll have to take it to the convention (It’s clear that’s what his strategy is now). If Cruz has a case then so does Kasich.
Awesome idea!
heh.
Trump/Cruz will make the rules.
Landslide ticket.
Glad for this! Listened to that weasel Priebus saying they wouldn’t try anything weaselly at the convention.
Riiiiighttt!
That’s a great idea!
Wow, the people are leading! This is inspiring.
Just the right thing to do. Several years ago TN conservatives got into a cage match to the death between two excellent men, either of whom would have made a fine senator, enabling the vile RINO Corker to get elected. Right now, we’ve won the nomination, it’s just not been determined which of two fine men will get it. Lt’ not blow it with a mutually suicidal cage match between Trump and Cruz.
Shouldn’t even need an alliance. Should just be a given.
Now your talking. Except for the Cruz part.
I like this. A LOT.
Great Plan!! Spread the word...
Here’s the TN voting results:
TN Primary Votes Cast: 854,470
Trump: 332,703 38.94% delegates 33
Cruz: 211,157 24.71% delegates 16
Rubio: 180,992 21.18% delegates 9
Note, by their own rules, They are bound to their own candidate through the 2nd vote.
At the National Convention, delegates are bound for at least 2 ballots. TCA §§2-13-307(b) and 2-13-308.

Yup. This is exactly what should happen. Trump and Cruz delegates should be natural allies.
Yup, all the states need to do this now to preempt any shenanigans by the GOPe.
Hell yes Tennessee!
