First things first: Ted Cruz doesn't have a path to 1237. That's fact. Mathematically, Cruz is already out of it. If Cruz or his supporters think he's going to secure the nomination without getting to 1237 they're simply delusional. No other way to state that FACT.
Second, the ONLY candidate who DOES IN FACT have a path to 1237 is Donald Trump. If the goal of both Trump and Cruz supporters is to defeat the GOP-E, the only candidate who gets to 1237 delegates to secure the nomination is DONALD TRUMP.
That is also pure, unadulterated FACT.
That means a vote for anyone other than DONALD TRUMP is a vote for the GOP-E hand-picking the candidate as there is no way in hell Ted Cruz is going to get to 1237 or the nomination.
This is also pure, unadulterated FACT. A fact I've now posted at least FIVE TIMES here on FR and not a single Cruz supporter has even TRIED to rebut. NOT ONE. Perhaps you'll be the first?
When Donald Trump walks into the Republican Convention with 1,237 elected delegates and the GOP-E publicly, blatantly tries to/robs him of the nomination you and I will witness the complete, total death of the Republican Party. When they hand the Presidential Election to Shrillary Rotten Clinton they will ALL finally be exposed -- INCLUDING TED CRUZ -- for the power hungry tyrants that they are and one or more of the following will finally happen:
(1) Civil revolt. Of which I personally plan to participate in.
(2) The "un-election" of every single Republican in Congress. It may take a few election cycles to get them all out, but it'll happen.
(3) The rise of a third party, likely an intensely Nationalistic one. I'm not even going to get into all the implications of this, I'd be typing for days and my carpal tunnel is already aggravating me this morning.
(4) Civil war, complete economic meltdown and a collapse of the global economy. Yep, this is a more 'extreme' prediction but consider this: an unstable America makes for an unstable world. Look at the instability we have now under Obama and what it's doing to the world. Can you imagine the global instability that'd occur with America going through a period even worse than we went through in the 60's and 70's? What if that instability at home were 5x, 10x worse? Again, I could type for DAYS on this one.
So think long and hard about your true motives in pushing for revolt at the Convention in Cleveland this summer. Your guy isn't getting to 1237 and there's no way the GOP-E that you and he aligned yourselves with is ever going to give Cruz the nomination.
Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever. It was NEVER in the cards. Fact.
Your guy’s not getting to 1237 either. So. Same boat, there.
Well lets take your first thing, there is a path to 1237 for Cruz. He has to win 81% of the delegates, last time I checked. To do that he only has to win 54% of the voters. Is this a difficult road to hoe, yes am I delusional to say that it will happen no. Because Trump will win NY and NJ 90 delegates in NY and 51 for NJ, and outside of PA and CA these two states are the largest hauls remaining.
Well this technically already refutes your second point that Trump is the only candidate with a path.
Much like Mark Levin, I don’t play those games of strategic voting. I vote for the candidate that I agree with and like. If more people did this then our country would not be in the shape it is, because we would have run someone other than McCain, and someone other than Romney.
Trump supporters are outraged at the fact that Trump is losing delegates in states he won, because of party leadership. However if Trump was as good as you think then he would be able to keep those delegates in his fold. What we see happening is that as this race goes on it is becoming two dimensional. One dimension is winning the states moving forward on the calendar. The other dimension is keeping the delegates already won in previous states, and in this race Trump is radically unprepared. This is seen by the fact that SC,MA,TN, and other states are all being talked about as him losing the delegates he has won.
So if Trump can’t keep the delegates he has won, then how can he run the country?
