No.
Then that would leave only Trump and Kasich in the race. Then who is really favored in a brokered convention? There is no alternative.
Got a question for all you who think that. Cruz is the worst of the worse. If he is such a globalist, NWO, Goldman Sach sellout......then why has the establishment have hated him from day one?? Wouldn’t the establishment brand him their conservative instead of Jeb or Rubio?
Something does not add up.
He is part of the machine and won't do much to upset the apple cart.
The establishment didn’t hate Cruz from day one. It took some time. Cruz made his name in the Senate by loudly deriding them. They didn’t like that, but it was acceptable, because it was just politics. They knew that Cruz was raising his profile back home in Texas by positioning himself as anti-establishment. Whatever works—no harm, no foul. What they didn’t know was that it was also a ploy to raise his profile nationally in preparation for a Presidential run.
Cruz jumped into the Presidential race after only a couple of years in the Senate. To them, that made him an upstart who didn’t wait his turn. He crashed the primary that was supposed to be Jeb’s coronation. Look at who gets the nomination in the Republican Party—Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain, Romney—all guys who had been around forever and paid their dues. No noobs allowed.
The GOPe doesn’t hate Cruz because of his positions. They know that when push come to shove Cruz will vote for what they want. He’s proven that. The animus toward Cruz is because of how he went about raising his national profile and because of what he did to Jeb.
Why is JEB and the Bush clan supporting Cruz?
You are right for an “outsider” he certainly looks like an insider
He took the Senate seat in Texas from somebody and it all went down from there.
