Ted Cruz has no path to 1,237. His only hope is to create a highly divisive and chaotic open convention battle that almost guarantes a Clinton victory. Ted Cruz needs to drop out. This is ridiculous.
BTTT
Cruz and his supporters are Dead Enders.
They will get what they always get. Nothing.
“Ted Cruz has no path to 1,237. His only hope is to create a highly divisive and chaotic open convention battle that almost guarantes a Clinton victory. Ted Cruz needs to drop out. This is ridiculous”
Everyone who has ever backed a primary candidate who has not won the nomination has to, at one point, take a step back from their disappointment, and even their anger, and ask themselves a question: would their state or country be better off if the candidate from the other party won the election, or would it be better off if somebody who shared 50% or 70% of the positions of their favored candidate won, instead? In this case, Cruz supporters need to ask themselves whether this country would be better off with Hillary, or with someone who supports a very strong national defense, tax cuts, massive reductions in regulations and the federal bureaucracy, taking the leash off the oil companies, building the pipeline from Canada, getting control of our borders, having a foreign policy that is actually pro-American, not appointing judges who are likely to continue destroying our Constitution, and trying to reduce the welfare mentality and the welfare state as much as possible? To my mind, the answer is very simple and obvious. Were the shoe on the other foot, I would have no trouble supporting Ted Cruz in November.
I understand if someone does not like Donald Trump or his tactics. I understand if someone takes issue with some or even quite a number of his positions. I also understand if someone says that they don’t know what he will do over the next four or eight years because he has apparently changed his mind so many times. However, with all of that said, there is no doubt whatsoever what a second President Clinton will do. At best, she will continue the same policies as President Obama, and cement into place all of his policies that are still reversible at this point. Worse, however, is the fact that the entire Federal judiciary will be lost. Our Constitution will cease to have any meaning other than what a strong liberal majority of justices believes that it should mean at any given point in time. Worse yet, she is compromised. We all know that various foreign intelligence services hacked into her computer. We also know that the Clinton Foundation was and is nothing but a giant pay to play mechanism, and that many foreign powers will be able to blackmail her into changing policy or risk being exposed for past crimes. I would literally take any candidate who was in the Republican field this year over Clinton or any other Democrat. Cruz supporters need to understand that sometimes in life there are disappointments, and that this is going to be one of them. The Republican establishment will never allow Ted Cruz to be president. Once they have finished using him to stop Trump, they will turn on him and apply all of the same tactics and forces against Cruz in order to get one of their own nominated. Better for Cruz and the country if he throws in the towel now or next week and works out some kind of a deal that at least makes certain that many of the policies that he is advocating for will be implemented. Additionally, and just as important, Trump supporters need to be magnanimous in victory, and there is no time like the present. This incessant bad mouthing of other people here on Free Republic just because they support a different means of winning this election against the anti-American Democrats needs to stop. Victors consolidate their victory by offering their hand to a defeated foe, not by spitting in their face. It is time for that process to start.
