“We have to remember that most Republicans around the country have voted for someone other than Donald Trump.”
‘Can someone explain that logic to me” Even FEWER have voted for Cruz.’
It’s the dumbest argument in the history of politics. Candidate A received less than fifty percent support, so we have to take the nomination away from him and give it to Candidate B, who got significantly LESS support.
The stupidity is beyond quantifiable.
It’s not stupidity, that’s why many states have run-off elections when no candidate gets over 50%. The convention is like a run-off election conducted through the delegates. We simply don’t KNOW if over 50% would ever support a candidate until they demonstrate they can get there. And whatever the 50%+ want is what they’re supposed to get in a democracy.
I swear it’s all stop making sense! The magic math is being employed along with the psych op that the GOPe really hates Teddy but just went begging on hands and knees to allow them to support him, or something strange like that!
Dear God people, get a hold of reality, these power hungry freaks are NOT on your side, they will do whatever it takes to retain power and control. And here we have people championing this kind of crud. No wonder our ‘party’ is a hot mess.
Thanks alot Cruzers, you guys sure know how to make a compelling argument of why anyone should vote for the one losing (48% in WI is NOT a blow out) over the one winning. Just follow your GOPe masters, stay in line dammit!
The delegates, acting in their role as stewards of the party are under no obligation to nominate a candidate like Trump, with the highest unfavorables ever recorded, just because he has the support of a noisy minority. In fact, they have a duty to select the best candidate for the party, thinking of all races.
Trump’s presence on the ballot depresses turnout and threatens down ticket races. Maybe if Trump had some track record or had a history of working with the party members and forming relationships they might feel better about entrusting him with the nomination.
He has none of that. He’s the outsider. He’s the disruptor.
He’s the loser.
