Ted Cruz is clearly pinning his hopes on winning the GOP presidential nomination via a contested/brokered convention this summer in Cleveland. Drifting slowly beneath the Establishment swamp though is a small army of RNC-devoted delegates who are poised to quickly alter the nomination outcome upon the second and third votes, and neither Donald Trump nor Ted Cruz are likely to survive that outcome.
Why Mr. Cruz continues to allow himself to be used so openly by the GOP Establishment as a wedge to prevent Donald Trump from reaching the majority of delegates necessary to lock up the nomination remains unclear to even some of Cruz’s supporters. Cruz has embraced the Republican Establishment in recent weeks, turning his campaign over to the very forces he once railed against as the “DC Cabal.”
Watch the following video to see what the RNC has already planned in order to overtake the nomination process during a brokered convention. It comes in the form of 168 RNC-loyal delegates who will quickly break away from Trump once voting begins, and then likely do the same to Cruz and finally coalesce behind a candidate who might not have even won a single vote during the primary race – a “fresh face” as GOP Establishment strategist Karl Rove recently declared could emerge.
It’s hard to imagine a man as intelligent as Ted Cruz is unaware of this, which would suggest he’s a willing accomplice in the willful disenfranchisement of millions of GOP primary votes, and if that is in fact true, the remaining question then is WHY?
The fix is clearly in, and this video outlines exactly how the Establishment intends for it to play out at the GOP convention...

Shhh, don’t tell the Cruz boogers. They think he is going to win on a second ballot. We’ve tried to tell them he is being used, but, they know it all.
Hello president Clinton.
Trump is going to win on the First Ballot
That ought to go over well...
In doing so, the RNC ensures that Hillary! will win in NOV as the Trump and Cruz factions will walk.
At. Their. Own. Peril.
Crua is playing right into the hands of the GOPe.
They must be laughing their asses off at the guy.
He thinks he’s stopping Trump, and he’ll clean up at the convention.
He’s right. They’ll mop the floor with him.
Really? It's clear to me, he wants what Obama has. Paid vacations, power, and most importantly the prestige that has alluded him his entire life.
Cruz’s support is actually very soft. Except for 15 or so percent of the die hards, the rest will go GOPe when called upon. Trump’s people, on the other hand, with their 60 percent “very engaged” level, will stay home.
Now that the fog has cleared I can’t imagine these proud Cruzers willing to be used like this. They’re rallying to ultimately support everything they say they’re against. Worst of all, Cruz leads the charge and he’s in on it. Cruz couldn’t and can’t beat Trump so now he’s going to make sure, to protect or enhance his place in the dead party, the Dems get permanent rule. Egad,
JUST.TRY.IT....IDIOTS
Well that is the obvious answer to these shenanigans.
The answer is obvious...he was bought out. He sold out conservatism for a nice retirement package. He never talks about the Washington "cartel" anymore. It's all about dragging down Trump.
If true, the RNC must have a death wish.
Because they won’t be around afterward.
If anybody other than Trump or Cruz is the nominee, it will be the end of the Republican Party.
The GOPe’s may get what they want, a Hillary Presdency.
But ballot down GOP candidates will get slaughtered.
The good, bad and ugly will be thrown out.
Who in the GOP will still be there to work deals with Hillary?
Very few.
Trump has always said he must win on the first ballot or go home. Nothing has changed. He compared it to his days as a boxing promoter. He liked to book out-of-town fights because the purse was larger, but the referees looked kindly on the home-town boxer. So he always told them, “Win by a knock-out or come home a loser.” And that’s exactly what Trump plans to do.
Should he be a little short in the end game, that’s when the “negotiator” Trump comes into play. He will make a deal to get enough first-round votes and come home a winner by a knock-out.
Get use to saying, “President Trump.”
This is an anti-establishment year. If they do that, Trump walks to 3rd party and draws huge numbers of his and Hideously’s supporters who refuse to vote for her over Bernie. Wouldn’t that be something?
Regardless, I think the GOP is done.
