The trump people are always calling for everybody to drop out so their guy can win. Why don’t we just let the process work? Are you afraid you can’t win a fair fight?
I am not a TRUMP fan. I have been...and still am...a Cruz supporter.
But my first allegiance and concern is the nation. A raucus, ugly convention fight will split the party and lead to a defeat we can ill afford.
The process is designed not to work unless you have the blessing of the insiders.
Yes they are afraid because Trumps even letting Pa. slide......He’s not making a push to lock down supporters in my state from what the delegates are saying... and they are unbound..... so it looks like Trumps not bothering with the delegates, rather he’s counting on reaching the golden number and thus no convention. He knows well he could very well loose if this goes to convention.
Here’s what a couple of his people stated....
His backers say they wish he were doing more to reach out to the people running for those slots ............. 71 delegates are on the line April 26 ..with 17 bound, at least on the first ballot, to support whoever wins the popular vote in the state..... But the rest of the delegates are directly elected by name, three from each of the state’s 18 congressional districts.
Another Trump activist said he sought the campaign’s help but got nothing — not even a “Make America Great Again” hat.
Cody Knotts, a Trump supporter who is running to be a delegate from the 9th Congressional District. ...“They are advising people how to set up websites, promote themselves, but they are not putting any money into it.”...Mr. Knotts, who has decades of political experience under his belt, described the approach as “spontaneous” and “haphazard” and said his impression is that the Cruz campaign is “more focused
“The campaign has not been effective in engaging the delegates,” said Gabriel Keller, a candidate for delegate in the 12th Congressional District. “
“Why don’t we just let the process work? Are you afraid you can’t win a fair fight?”
The ‘process’ IS working, and Ted is falling further and further behind.
Trump has been winning this thing since South Carolina, if not New Hampshire. Only the tireless efforts of the GOP establishment has given this race anything but the appearance of a straight up, balanced contest.
What a crock. It is customary to bow out once the ominee becomes apparent.
The whole point is that a contested convention doesn't server the interests of the party, the country, or even Ted Cruz.
The only result of Ted Cruz stealing the nomination from Trump would be to hopelessly splinter the party, destroy voter enthusiasm, and put Hillary in the White House with a certainty.
Sure Ted Cruz and his followers can see that this is the ONLY scenario that can unfold from a contested convention which steals the nomination from Donald Trump.
It takes willful blindness to imagine that anything could could come from that.
Cruz would wind up with the nomination and absolutely no chance of winning the general election.
Any realistic review of the states that Cruz has lost, and lost big, makes it clear that he is not a viable national candidate at this time.
Ted Cruz is 2.4 million votes behind Donald Trump this far. The People have spoken, and they have rejected Ted Cruz.
Were the convention to be contested and Trump denied the nomination, the only logical choice would be for the GOPe to go "off the board" and select a candidate that is neither Trump or Cruz.
All of these scenarios result inevitably in Hillary winning the White House. Surely Ted Cruz does not want that. Surely his ambition has not blinded him to that degree.
Ted Cruz will not be the 2016 GOP nominee under any circumstances. For God's sake, he isn't even going to have 750 delegates when he arrives at the convention. That is not a position of strength.
I once though that Ted Cruz was possessed of some wisdom, but he has repeatedly shown over this primary cycle that, however intelligent he may be, he is not yet ready to lead this country.
Do the right thing, Ted. Spare this country a splintered GOP, and let us go into the general election unified behind a strong candidate who has more than earned his right to represent the GOP.
You have been a dupe of the GOPe, Ted. As they abandon you one by one or in droves, you will see this fact. You have been exploited. You and the GOPe tried to destroy Donald Trump, but you have failed, and have been beaten soundly in a fair fight.
It's time to throw in the towel, because your only future is to be KO'd, or else to lose a unanimous decision.
The Revolution is ON!. Please stop being a Tory and join the winning side.
Vote Trump
