Not trying to offend, here, but is that supposed to be Cruz’s fault? Did Cruz make the rules for the way the “party” in Colorado chose to choose their delegates? Why would that be a low-blow, fault of Cruz? Am only seeking to understand.
Read my post 189.
Cruz strategy for preparing for a contested convention on his terms has brilliant. Only problem is, in this election cycle, it will absolutely poison the well.
In a like fashion, Trump’s counter strategy of calling fowl (where there is none) and thus getting all the more media attention and casting a shadow on what Cruz is doing has also been brilliant from a political perspective.
I cannot blame either man for those things in such a high stakes political fight.
The thing that is poisoning it all is the rancor and out and out anger and hate the two teams are developing for one another...when in November they are going to both need all of those millions of voters and supporters to combine.
That is why I wrote this letter.
Cruz is the one who it has fallen to end the rancor, lay down the war hatchet, and make peace and unite the two camps.
He can do that...if he only will.
I believe the honorable thing would be to have said, “I won’t accept any delegates from a state where the people have no voice and aren’t allowed to vote.” Americans would respect this position much more than another politician celebrating “voterless” election wins where the citizens of a state (including our deployed military personnel) were not given the right to vote.
In this case the winner is chosen by party elites and not by the people. That is acceptable practice in communist countries but doesn’t sit well here in the USA.
Cruz is gloating over his “voterless” wins and military people are thinking - “Hey, this guy thinks it’s perfectly ok for a young person to die in combat overseas but if they don’t have the right to vote in their state - to Cruz it’s no problem.”
Well, we have a BIG problem with his position.
