Ashley Cruz will do WHATEVER his wife, the future
coPresident and VP of Goldman Sachs, says to do.
He OWES her, bigtime. Clinton-like.
bkmk
Of course he won’t. He think the eGOP likes him and will nominate him at the convention and steal it from Trump. He is delusional in that he thinks he is liked by the eGOP.
The Title does not match the link exactly, but, is to have a debate about how many believe Cruz is really angling for the contested convention, and will not do the ethical think, like Rubio, Bush and others and drop out, when you are mathematically eliminated.
Trump would then reach the 1237 and win the nomination.
I have never seen in the GOP Nomination, stragglers sticking around, just to be spoilers.
But, we have one in Kasich, and I think Cruz will be the 2nd spoiler, and he will not do the honorable thing and drop out, I believe.
the exact opposite. Ted remaining in race is to help GOPe, like Kasich, to deny Trump the 1237 win, so that a GOPe candidate could be picked
The need for the support of a majority of the delegates in eight states is only relevant for the first ballot. After the first ballot the "pledged" delegates can support whomever they want. Thus on a second or subsequent ballot a GOPe candidate could get the support of a majority of the delegates in eight states, be nominated, and win with a majority of the vote of the delegates.
If neither Trump nor Cruz can win the nomination with a majority of the pledged delegates on the first ballot then neither of them will get the nomination. Although I like Cruz, at this point all that he does by staying in is raise the possibility that Trump will not win on the first ballot and thus allowing the GOPe pick someone else than either of them on a subsequent ballot.
Why would Trump do anything to help Snaky Teddy. If the nomination is to be stolen why not Paul Ryan. Were I Trump, I'd push for Kasich over Cruz and spend the rest of the election laughing my ass off.
I keep hearing Cruz will join with or support Trump at the end. Why would Trump need him at that point?
Good grief, if Mitt can win an election, Trump had better be able to do the same thing.
While I agree with most of your theory, it’s against FR posting rules to post an article with a changed title.
Just trying to help you, and the forum out. I’d call out the cRuzer’s for doing the same (as they know :)
KaSick should already have bowed out. cRuz is being a good little GOPe splitter. Might not make much difference, soon.
Cruz Loserman.
Both Cruz and Kay-SICK should be ashamed of themselves for not dropping out after they are mathematically eliminated a/k/a you and I have the same chance of winning the nomination on the first ballot as they do.
I said it once and I’ll say it again! I feel deep regret for voting for Cruz and helping him carry the State of Maine in March. Worst vote of my life, how could I not see through him?
That's just stupid.
Rick Santorum actually dropped out when he was closer (75% more delegates needed) than cRuz is (88% needed). He did the right thing for the party, and the voters.
Newt and the other dropped out soon after Ricky.
What a crock...Ted Cruz doesn’t need to drop out until Trump hits 1237 delegates.
No body is steeling anything Trump has to play by the same rules as everyone else!!!
FWIW, Rob Eno is correcting Gateway Pundit on their delegate math:
LOL...FWIW....not much.
I’d never even heard the name ‘Rob Eno’...so I had to look him up....
I write and Research for @CR
That would be Cruzservative Review. The Mark Levin/PAC supported arm of the cRuz campaign...that also put out the faux candidate ‘ratings’....ala Twister scoreboard.
No thanks to their fuzzy CommieCore math. I’ll take GP’s word - GP has been around a lot longer than cRuz’s Presidential campaign - over CR’s.
But..but..he’ll win Wisconsin tomorrow, the whole race is changing, the Ted juggernaut has begun. /s Cruz Fanatics conveniently like to forget the Wisconsin system is proportionally so even if Ted wins he loses. Cruz is trading field goals for touchdowns and by maybe the end of this month , almost mathematically impossible to win.
