“Mr. Cruz has no democratic path to the nomination.”

That’s irrelevant in the US. We are NOT a democracy. For a reason. We are a constitutional republic.

Mr. Cruz DOES have a republican path to the nomination.

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

You see that??? We the people...

I often hear people argue that the United States is a republic, not a democracy. But that’s a false dichotomy. A common definition of “republic” is, to quote the American Heritage Dictionary, “A political order in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who are entitled to vote for officers and representatives responsible to them” — we are that. A common definition of “democracy” is, “Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives” — we are that, too.

The only path that TED CRUZ has is directly to DESTROY all chances of preventing a RAT from getting the Presidency in November.

The man is LOOSER with the REPUBLICAN “VOTERS” in almost every state that he has campaigned in, let alone the general voting population.

If you think that CRUZ will UNITE the party, let alone win the majority of American voters, and actually TURN THIS COUNTRY AROUND (with the “ZERO” experience that he has, then you belong with the delusional ideologues that get DUPED every election by the political/donor class that back stabs you once they get in office.

A republic sure could pass as a oligarchy too

Its liberals who always call the US a Democracy.
They do it all the time on MSNBC and DU.

But I guess if the Trumpees think that a POTUS can do this
Donald Trump promises to mandate death penalty for killing police officers( The Washington Times ^ | 12/10/2015 | Jay LeBlanc)
then its no surprise that they believe Trump when he calls this a democracy.

This stuff is titillating to speculate about except the facts and reality keep getting in the way. The reality is that Trump is going to get 1237 delegates and will easily win the nomination on the first ballot.
