GOPe can’t beat Cruz at the convention if Cruz and Trump write the rules with the majority of their delegates.
The problem is that just as the convention is full of Cruz delegates posing as Trump delegates, there are permanent delegates serving the GOPE. These consist of a boat load of elected establishment officials, from the states and from DC, and from past administrations.
The GOPE will be represented on ALL those Committees, just as well as TRUMP and Cruz.
The GOPE *is* the convention. The convention is the Republican Party first and foremost, and not Cruz first. The GOPE own that convention.
Further, now that it is publically known that Cruz has been doubling back to states he lost and stealing the winner’s delegates, converting their allegiance to TRUMP over to Cruz instead with this Second Ballot campaign, look for that all to change.
Going forward you will see TRUMP delegates successfully posing as Cruz delegates.
You may very well even see stealth Cruz delegates removed from the floor of the Convention. If they replaced true supporters of TRUMP at their state conventions, who were rejected because they said they were for TRUMP, these tricky dickies can be legally removed by TRUMP forces.
When they depart they will not have their expenses reimbursed, either. Unless Cruz wants to pay off their futile exercise.
