No.
Will you apologize when Cruz does not make it past Florida?
You are having a logical break down here.
Why would I apologize for my candidate not getting nominated?
Let do a little analogy and use the following variables....
Eggs=conservative policies
Home=enacted throughout the country
Basket=candidate
Mountain=current liberal climate of electorate and media
I am saying, “Let’s put our eggs in this basket. I think we might be able to get them all the way up the mountain and back home”.
If we choose not to use that basket, I was not wrong.
On the other hand, we could end up choosing your basket with it’s flashy colors and great advertising despite the fact that we all know that the “basket” was made out of dog crap just 4 years ago and was recently patched over with glitter and spackle. If your basket ends up disintegrating on the way up the mountain once it is exposed to the difficult terrain and elements of the mountain and our eggs end up breaking and covered in dog crap, you really should apologize for your advocacy and say you should have known better.
If my basket, which has been proven to be made of the most solid and dependable stuff, were to actually be chosen to hold the eggs and they end up breaking on the perilous trek back home up the mountain, I won’t be disappointed. I know that I made the best pick based on the soundest logic. Maybe others will see the basket and how it performed under tough conditions and choose similar baskets in the future. Maybe one day we will find a basket that can get the eggs back home up the mountain.
